The Mini 0805 I ordered off Amazon had half of the image in focus, while the other half was incredibly blurry. The recommended fix was to take the camera apart and refocus the lens yourself... I decided to return it.



The K1S with front and rear cameras looks very interesting. I'm just sucker mounting a GoPro to the windscreen at the moment on certain journeys where it seems death/ crazy drivers are around every corner  :confused:

Agreed the k1s does look good but a tad expensive. I guess you pay for the really small size of camera.  :jumping:

For anyone thats interested I ordered a new dash cam, it appears to be working much better than the Mini 0805 I had. It's a wedge shape allowing it to be really discreetly mounted. I paid £55 off Amazon for it. Footage looks great.

Any chance of a video showing the quality of it?

Just ordered two of the Transcend 16GB DrivePro 200 Car Video Recorder with Built-In Wi-Fi from Amazon
Treating my Dad to one for his birthday and have got one for me in the GTI!
Looking forward to it arriving and will post some footage - went for the 32gb card and suction mount :happy2:

That one does look very discreet. Video quality is pretty good too for a 50-60quid unit!

Here's a short video from today

https://www.dropbox.com/s/dn6umcs458kgd3i/2015_0505_134729_010.mov?dl=0

Footage is pretty good, about level with a GoPro 3 Silver. Haven't tried it at night yet. The Techmoan review has more video samples attached. I ran the cable down the headlining/ A pillar and under glovebox. Really can't tell it's there. Very pleased with it  :happy2:

Mine also came with an 8GB card? Doesn't say it comes with it anywhere in the description? but it was the £54.99 link for the B40 Dashcam from Amazon.

Been looking at the Snooper DVR-HD3 as I quite like the speed camera warnings (the Audi MMI nav I have is crap (like the RNS510 for warnings), but it looks so chunky on the window with the big mount. Anyone got experience of them?

That one above looks decent for the money too.
