Every time I see one of these dash cam threads I keep thinking "I must get one ASAP" then see so many different recommendations it just confuses me so I never get round to it.
I do like the idea of the camera that can be recharged at home and just mounted in the car using battery back up so it can be used in several vehicles.
I was the exact same Andy. I would search and read reviews till I was blue in the face and then come full circle and not buy one until the next thread.
That was until my Mrs bought me this one for Christmas from Argos http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/4557690.htm
It meant that if it broke within the first year it would be no hassle taking it back.
I only took it back and bought something else as it was bought at full price and I didn't think it was worth that.
I would get one at the half price though as that is probably worth it.
Nice one Steve! Thanks for that. Perfect.
That's a good price and, as you say, a pretty hassle free way to purchase and return if anything goes wrong.
Subject to me having any money left at all once I eventually get car insurance sorted for my son who has just passed his driving test yesterday I'll get two of those.

Trying to get an insurance policy for a 17 year old to come on my insurance for an elderly GTI is proving more of a head scratcher than a dash cam thread right now!
My older son was 18 when he passed his test and that seems to be an age where they'll more readily quote, he was straight on there for well under a grand.
