Anyone have a dash-cam?

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

The other day, I ran across a review on dash-mounted cameras like the Russian’s commonly have in their cars in the videos they post on U-Tube. One model was recommended by the guys from Mythbusters and it was US$60. so I decided to order one. It will be about C$70 delivered. Do I need it? Well, not really but it sounds neat so I bought it. The drawback is the standard international shipping from China takes 3-4 weeks but I’m not in a hurry.

Now all I have to do is wait for a meteorite strike or a moose in the road and I’ll be able to show you the photos. I anticipate some difficulty in aiming the camera (attached to the car) at the meteor strike but it might work. :smiley:

With any luck you can capture some events like the ones I have been inspecting the past few days on YouTube. Some blood-curdling ones like Brutal Car Accidents 4 [18+ Only] (Do not Watch ) (and others in that series).

Unfortunately as with most things in life you get what you pay for, and the small CCD cameras don’t work well at night. I am using a mid-range camera (cost $100) right now but I’m going to upgrade to the MiVue camera soon.

Watching the Russian car crash videos you see the MiVue get the best low light video.

Here’s something interesting I caught with my camera a couple years ago…
