Dash Cams

...also check for how long the cam records after you've locked your car. The PowerMagic box will only power the cam until the battery voltage drops to preset level.

Correct but it runs for an extremely long time, it doesn't take much power. It doesn't write anything to the card unless motion is detected. Probably not days, I've never tested, but definitely overnight or more is no problem.

It does it by time or voltage drop whichever comes first LOL

Havent had a flat battery in the two years I have had mine but I only have Park on for an hour. Voltage cutout is set at 12V

One must also be careful to set sensitivity low as mine will pick up someone walking along 50metres or more away

Actually good point, mine was constantly on because it would pick up the reflection of a tree in a window. You do need to almost bottom out the sensitivity unless you want a lot of useless footage.

I recommend the blackvue. I currently have the 600hd front mounted only. My previous car I had the 550hd. Great tool. I had my auto electrician hard wire to the accessory switch. So the camera comes on with the ignition. My car is Mk7 Golf R, the camera mounts in the dark shadow above the mirror and looks down across the bonnet. Has 32G storage, which averages about a months driving. It can be viewed live with ipad or iPhone via Bluetooth.

A DR 600GW HD will record about 9.5 hours max at highest resolution. It then overwrites the oldest files.

When on holiday in the USA recently mine would only record one and a bit days driving before overwriting.

As far as I am aware they connect via WIFI. None of them have Bluetooth.

Yeah that sounds right. I drive for 30 mins a day. To and from work. WiFi, yep. I always get those two mixed up. I keep my drives of interest recorded on the ipad. Also in negotiation with insurer for reduced premium.
