Great write up. I bought a 720p camera off of Amazon but this looks a decent bit of kit

I've got a nextbase 212 from halfords for around the same price. It's a sucky on the windscreen but i've mounted it pretty much behind the rearview mirror so it doesn't obstruct my view, got a quick detach option to. Films in 1080p and comes with a parking sensor so will switch on if the car gets bumped. Best purchase i've got as i've caught some right plonkers down here in Cornwall, even a police car who just came out a junction and didn't look! ooops!

Seeing your stills from the rearview i'm now tempted to get one for my back window, however it's deciding between that, springs, or a bumper respray! lol.

Nice review mate :)

Guys I know this post is old but I have just uploaded a video on a very good dash cam and hard wire installation for under £100
If you are interested you can have a look.
