Bulletguy Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 AliB - 2015-02-10 10:37 AM Bulletguy - 2015-02-09 5:42 PM Try the GS1000 with a 32gb. The sellers claim they will take "up to 32gb".....but it doesn't. I have not tried the GS1000 but I will speculate that it is a problem with the SD card and not the camera. There are lots of dodgy SD cards on the market. You need to use a recognised make like Kingston and ensure it is at least Class 6 or above. AliB - 2015-02-09 9:36 AM Most cameras have an internal battery which will store the settings GS1000 won't. These are common cams being flogged on fleabay from Hong Kong. The spec.on ebay states they have an internal battery. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1080P-HD-CAR-DVR-CCTV-CAMERA-NEW-TAXI-LORRY-TRUCK-VAN-HGV-GS1000-VEHICLE-UK-/161580137268?_trksid=p2054897.l4275. Of course, who knows what you get from Hong Kong. They could be rejects or old stock. The batteries are prone to failure if left for long periods in a discharged state. AliB - 2015-02-09 9:36 AM Very small models without a screen are capable of being permanently fixed to the windscreen and hardwired into a direct 12V feed. Our local taxi firm has the entire fleet so fitted. What kind of Dashcams do they use? Originally DVR743 but decided they did not need the GPS so DVR6088HD to save on price. The card i had was a Transcend Class 10. Can't get much better than that. Tried it in my mates phone and works perfectly so know the card was ok. Yes i think buying a Hong Kong cam is very much a case of pot luck. Most of it is junk though and of course you can't get a return/refund......you can try (as i did) but you won't get anywhere.

Because the card works in your mates phone doesn't mean its compatible with everything. I put mine in a card reader to try it on computers - works on some and not others. Worked in some sockets but not others on the same PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a few HK 'cheapo' card readers which were pretty much 'pot luck' on if they'd work and with what cards etc. Then i pushed the boat out a bit and bought a decent one from Jessops. Reads any card, any make, every time in whatever PC. Had it years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL :D But you raise an interesting point. When you go away for months I see it as living somewhere else. Not like the week or two holiday you get when working, where you have to use what little time you have to cram in as much as you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solomongrundy Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 If the driver of this car hadn't had a dash camera I bet his Insurance company wouldn't have believed his side of the story - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will86 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Yesterday while waiting at traffic lights at Tushmore Roundabout Crawley Sussex, (3 lines of traffic) ... a Jackdaw or Rook stepped onto the crossing and slowly strutted across ... the traffic moved as it almost reached the far side.With a dash cam I could have sold the scene !
