...and this is the reason why I'll give serious consideration to not bothering come renewal time.
He invited opinions and thoughts and ends up being on the receiving end of very childish abuse.
FFS, grow up. It's no wonder this place is a complete mess full of f***ing retards these days when...
:cool:
I actually like a bit of debate about things like this...it makes one question events and actions...which can only be a good thing.
I'd not thought about the service aspect etc.! A £47 one off fee to ensure little pr*cks don't rag your car...I like this thing even more now!
If I'd uploaded the previous two minutes you'd have seen that when presented twice with opportunities like the one here, the A-Class sat there and did nothing. No attempt to overtake, no change in road position, nothing that suggested they weren't happy to carry on at 35-45 mph behind the Merc...
No solid lines, hatched areas are there to be used, I thought the A-Class might have finally woken up and applied some pressure to their throttle, local knowledge etc. etc. etc.

Footage from mine caught this happening today...I kind of expected it from their behaviour beforehand so it didn't develop into much...but it's reassuring to know this thing is recording should anything like this catch me out...
Valid points!
Personal preference is what it comes down to really as there is little to separate them on price...I like the screen on the G1WH for ease of setup and battery and ultimate size matter not to me.
My GoPro covers that sort of thing for me.
As said, battery life on a permanently wired in dashcam is a moot point...for £35 with a screen I'm more than happy with the G1WH.
If you want an action camera then clearly the G1WH is not for you. As a dashboard camera though, it excels.
...and can you set that to loop record, write protect in the event of an impact, and fire up and shut down automatically when ignition is turned on and off?
Yep, comes with a 3.5m lead as per the picture in post #4.
I had someone pull out on me when I was overtaking this morning, no mirror check or signal at all from them, I kind of expected it so it wasn't too close when it did happen but it's nice to know that if I did get caught out I'd have the...
It's a dashboard camera with a full colour screen, it's more than enough!
Giving it any more battery life would have made it bigger and heavier, which would be even more crap.
5 minutes. 10 at the most. Enough for you to be able to walk around after an accident and photograph and/or video the surroundings/other cars etc.
It also serves to allow the unit to shut itself down properly after the ignition fed power supply is cut.
Yes, real time viewing of what's being...
Yes, loops over oldest once the card is full.
You've misunderstood what it does. Left to its own devices it will record over the oldest files once the card is full. If you have an accident that's registered by it's g-meter/accelerometer it will mark the file being recorded at the time and...
It works from an ignition 'switched' power feed...in my case for now (until I get it properly hard-wired in), running from the front power socket.
Ignition on, it starts recording. Ignition off, it stops recording.
It records individual files that you can set to be either 3, 5, or 10 minutes...
I'd have thought so!
I did umm and aah for a long time about that...if anything having this fitted to the car has had a positive impact on my driving...and with very little detriment.
You can get it here...

That's a link to the G1W which has a 120 degree angle and a bright shiny large silver bezel around the lens. The G1WH I have has the black bezel as per my picture, a 140 degree viewing angle and something...
I'll get it mounted better than it is...I'm going to butcher the mirror clamp to make a small pad I can stick up high behind the mirror, I'll end up not being able to see it while driving along. That's small enough for me.
For what it cost it's incredible value in my opinion. I'm definitely...
