    A nice change from the traditional dash cams but the 360 degree claim is a bit spurious imho. Yes it can spin around the full 360 but it doesn't capture full 360, only where it happens to be pointing at the time.

  • @devenair681
    @devenair681 Před rokem +5

    Having had dash cams installed over the last 5 years or so I see the biggest problem with this set up is any rear view will be obstructed by any rear passengers/luggage and of course the driver will cause a blind spot. The best option from experience is to have a two camera set-up of which there are various options. We recently had our new car fitted professionally and it is very tidy with no wires flapping about.

  • @davidthegolfer
    @davidthegolfer Před rokem +3

    Hi Pete, I am a firm believer in high quality dash cams. We now have our sixth installation since 2008. We were driving on the M25 in a Porsche Boxster, all lanes doing 65 mph. Three vehicles ahead of us a truck dropped som aluminium strip that damaged our car. We realised that unless you have a serious accident on the motorway, you have no witnesses. We were deemed got be at fault.
    We always have fitted Black Hue, front and rear and feel vulnerable until they are fitted to our car or if we rent a car. I bought a new Porsche and they said that third party cameras would invalidate some warranty, so we bought theirs. We have just bought a BMW for my wife and they now have a clip on system for the car, and a set fee for the BMW camera. There is no point buying a cheap dash cam. They need to be excellent quality in all lighting conditions. It's like buying good insurance. I won't leave home without it. Good review. I hope it makes people think about how important they are.

    When I recently changed my insurance I was asked if I had a dash cam. I’ve always been of the opinion that most people who seemed to have them were exactly the people that end up appearing on these CZcams video clips!!
    However - after a very enlightening drive to London a couple of weeks back, I’m now leaning towards having one as a security device against other people’s appalling driving.

  • @7rorre
    @7rorre Před rokem +2

    I've been using a dash cam for 12 years now, from before they were even called dash cams. One important note when fitting to the windscreen is to ensure that the cameras view is in an area swept by the wipers otherwise the cameras view will be impaired by the rain. The 360 degree feature is a bit of a gimmick really, I suspect that once the novelty wears off the camera will remain in the forward view position.

    Peter…I have had a dash cam for over ten years and now feel quite vulnerable if I drive something without one. Remarkably I recorded an RTA on the second day I had one capturing a young man running away from his mothers Golf which he had stolen, got drunk and then spun taking out three parked cars. The Police were surprised and grateful but as I had never downloaded anything from it before, there was a panic that it had been “wiped” but the Police forensics found it and used it as evidence gaining his conviction. (they kept the SIM for 6 months though!). I use Drive Pro and every one has been faultless…not a failure even once with 4K day and night imaging. Your camera has a lot of clever features but I do wonder about the spinning lens in rear end attacks…mine records front and back simultaneously including the inside/passengers. I’m having a new one fitted to the Puma but will look carefully at yours. Stay safe…give the loonies plenty of room! 😰😀😀😀😀Richard😊

    Great crime face while walking around the car Pete :). I have the latest Nextbase 622GW with an attached rear cam which, in the event of someone running into the back of me, will capture the incident immediately as opposed to this one which would only capture it if it was rear facing at the time. Some insurers will give a discount for dash cam users. Great video as ever.

    The one safety feature my car is missing is road traffic sign recognition and I would have loved to see that on this unit. Many dash cams have this today and unfortunately, even though I wanted the 360 of this unit, I will be going for something else with RTS as that will be very useful for me as a long distance driver constantly visiting different towns for the very first time.

    Great video and product. The individual options it offer go far beyond basic dashcams. Hard wiring would be best for this dashcams to use all beneficial features. The picture quality is brilliant, especially in the dark. I would agree with other comments for rear facing though. I've had dashcams fitted for years now and had to use as evidence on a few occasions. Like you, after watching dashcams crashes on CZcams, I have fitted seperate rear facing also. You never know when you'll need it and again, like you say, everyone is after a claim these days. Great product and worth the investment, even better if they paired it with a small rear facing camera also 👌

  • @philipparkes5682
    @philipparkes5682 Před rokem +1

    Hi Ped
    I also shared your initial view on dash cams, but having been forced off road by overtaking car in face if oncoming traffic, I changed my mind, and now have NextBase on both daily drivers. Not hardwired installation as you have done on the Henry car. When I had my 911 I was informed that if I hard wired dash cam the warranty would be invalidated, but no further advice! When I updated my SQ5 had dash cam hard wired by specialist, very neat. Some 8 months on warranty claim on control unit on the car, resulting in side trims being removed to gain access to wiring. Following completion dash cam had intermittent fault. Audi dealer would not accept responsibility, and also claimed specialist fitting dash cam had damaged control unit.🤔 cost me £170 😬

  • @graham5649
    @graham5649 Před rokem +1

    Hi, if the camera is facing forward at the time of of rear bump I don't see how this helps? Yes it is a 360 degree camera but only one direction at a time. The rear view is also could be very restricted. I have a front and rear camera setup on my car. Personally I'm not a great fan of how it looks either .

    My BMW uses its 360 degree built in cameras for the dash cam, its always amazes me that more manufactures don't use the cameras as well. They are permanently on but only record when asked or if you are in an accident and then it's something like 20 seconds before and after the incident.
    I had an accident a few years ago in a previous car where the other driver after cutting me up on roundabout failed to stop. It was only the fact I had a dash cam that I got their registration. Mind you in spite of all the evidence the police were completely disinterested and the other parties insurance company hung us out for nearly two years until we established a court date and then they paid my excess and the the repair costs that were over £10k. So make sure you have a dash cam and legal insurance as well.

    • @stevecade857

Yes, cost some money, but peace of mind that the system will look perfect and has a guarantee! And aside from that, it has permanent front and rear cameras and works very well! Can thoroughly recommend to other BMW owners!

    Not quite what I was expecting in a 360° camera. As others have said to be a useful camera it really needs to be simultaneously recording both front and rear, but when I read the 360° description I was wondering whether it would have helped in a recent accident where the car I was in was hit just behind the back passenger side door, so neither a front or rear camera would catch it.

    Where do I start.
    Agree with Colin.
    If you have to tell it to turn you already know there is a problem and should be avoiding it not thinking about filming it.
    If you are rear ended, the front facing camera will prove you haven't stopped too suddenly and if you have its still fault of following vehicle being to close. [ ex traffic cop ]
    Far to big, i've got a Nextbase that's smaller and doesn't take up so much room, is slmost invisible and doesn't look like a dogs turd hanging up.
    As for the G shock mine is adjustable, believe me you don't want it sounding off on every bump.
    You got it for free Pete, that's about the only plus point.

  • @leeandjancruise

    I've been using a Nextbase front dash cam for years and last year it paid off when a wagon caught my rear off side as I was stationary in traffic, it showed that it was 100% the wagon drivers fault and my insurance company on seeing the video didn't even ask for my excess as it was so obvious the other party was at fault.

That means a consumption of around 2.5 amps per hour. If you have a regular 90ah battery that means it will deplete the battery I’d say in 2.5 days

    Sadly, I purchased one of these, but I soon regretted it. The dashcam itself is solid and well constructed.
    I hate that you need to sign away your privacy to all and sundry via the "app" you have to download and use to even get it to work. Still, I thought I'd give it a try anyway. The damn thing won't save recordings, yet says it is recording on the screen.
    I didn't get the other cable for it as I shouldn't need it, but the app on my phone says it can't find the Omni? What the hell is that about?
    I sent a report to the company a few days ago and haven't had a reply from them as yet. I'm guessing this is a learning curve for me, an expensive one. I'm not a happy chappie.
    Edit... If you don't purchase the "hardwire" kit, most of the features won't work, so it really is a waste of your hard earned money. This being the case, it should be included in the purchase and NOT an "accessory" item. They need to upgrade their software so that everything works?
    If the internal memory card goes wrong for some reason, the dash cam then becomes totally useless. You shouldn't have to open an account with them to get your camera to work, it's yours, not theirs. Just more intrusion into people's privacy, tracking you and data mining.

    Seems impractical to me. By the time you realise you have been rear ended, and ask the camera to record rear the accident has passed. Much better to have the two cameras recording front and rear at all times. Wont miss anything then.

      @brumsgrub8633 Před rokem

      No, that's wrong, when you have impact it records straight away, like when he went over the bump in the road, it records 5 seconds before and after the incident on its own

    • @DamoDrives
      @DamoDrives Před rokem

      It is a good idea for a 1 camera setup although I agree with you because the 5 seconds before will only be in the direction the camera is pointing at that time (basically the camera is always recording and just saves 5 seconds before) so if you are rear ended and the camera is not facing backwards then you would not get it.

    Hello! Could you please create a night-time surveillance video? I'm interested in capturing people walking by, getting too close, or even touching the car. Since I can't access on-street parking, I usually park my car at the rear of my house, where the lighting could be more varied. Unfortunately, I've had issues with kids scratching or throwing objects at my car, which led to me having to replace it. I want to avoid a similar situation this time. Knowing the video quality and how much footage could be recorded over 8 hours. Specifically, would it exceed 32GB? Thank you

  • @rickyard11
    @rickyard11 Před rokem +1

    I would be more interested in a dash cam that records in full 360 degree, so the incident is always captured. I feel that this one may miss the incident if the lens is facing the wrong direction.

    So many negative comments for something a bit different and innovative. Every single person I know has only one front dash cam except me. Not everyone can afford front and rear dual systems. So if you had the option to have one that you could fit yourself with some extra features then this would be good. Not everyone drives high end cars or can afford to have Porsche, bmw or auto electricians hard wire a front and rear camera. What about all the people on low budgets with small cheap cars? I have used viofo dash cams for years and never had any issues with them in my cheap family hatch. However, I like this camera as it would make a perfect rear camera on my Ford Grand C Max. If and when needed I could use it for reversing help using the phone app to view when reversing, I am aware there will be a bit of WiFi lag but it seems a no brainer to me for the price. Also if someone was to come along side me in a road rage incident I could simply tell it to look left or right? If someone comes to your side window and punches you will your front and rear camera see it? If you have a Tesla your ok though. So finally, let's not forget what this is, a budget camera with extra features. 😉

The cam is actually $189.44, UK is £151.26, you don't need a memory card as 64gig is built in. A Viofo 3 channel 1080p is £259.99 Currently here, a Nextbase front only 4k camera is £239. Yes there are cheaper cams but they are terrible, I should know, I've bought a few. The sweet spot if you can afford it is a 2k cam with a Sony Starvis sensor as found in most of the Viofo dash cams. Most cheap cams that say 4k are just upscaled 1080p
      Me I'll keep doing my amatuer research, watch CZcams channels like this but mostly more detailed reviews and research by Linus Tech Tips. You should possible type in the CZcams search button the words... Linus Tech Tips, Dash cams and learn something. My idea of a budget cam is obviously different to yours, the cams you speak of I call cheap crap, or cheap rubbish. If you are happy with them then I am happy for you, each to their own I guess. 😁
