What is a dashboard camera?
A dash cam is a video camera mounted in a vehicle. Most dash cams record both audio and video continuously. These cameras are sometimes called Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) or In Car Cameras. The vast majority of dash cams are actually mounted on the windshield not on the dash. Most of the cameras are forward facing but some dual lens cameras (front and back) are gaining popularity as well.

There are 2 features that differentiate a dash cam from a traditional video camera:

1. Auto start and auto stop. A dash camera must have the ability to start recording when it receives power and stop recording when power is removed. This is typically done via the cars cigarette lighter power adapter but it could be hard wired.
2. Continuous looping / cycle function. A dash camera must have the ability to delete the oldest file and continue recording when the memory card fills up

If the camera you are considering does not have these 2 functions, it is not a dash camera.

You're more likely to find a unicorn than you are to find a peenoy admitting guilt for anything.

 

Xiaomi Yi cam should be about 3k and is only inferior to the Go-pro in sound quality. It's about 2mm larger than Go-pro so it can't use the same accessories, at least without modifying them. I was thinking of getting a Yi cam myself.

 

I wonder if they have such systems in a mini unnoticeable system for a motorcycle. Prob much higher risk of it being stolen though I suppose. I've seen to much insane stuff and barely missing being smashed a couple times by insane drivers. Incase it ever does happen I'd like to have some hard evidence as you know the locals and the police won't be backing you up so much as a foreigner. Even had an old motorcycle driver pull out randomly and hit me before where I stayed up but he went down hard. The guy apologized and took responsibility and as I was uninjured along with my bike rather leave him to it as I did. But one local who witnessed it *suggested* being the kind soul he is I just pay the old man even though I had absolutely zero fault. I didn't pay jack sh*t of course. But incase it went the other way I'd like to be able to play a video showing quite clearly the issue.

 

Not that alone by a long shot. I left 20+ years ago because I was fed up with so many policies and decisions the elected idiots were trying to strangle small business with and also with A$$HATS trying to tell me how to live my life every moment of the day. Typical busybodies that really just need to a good punch in the nose but just too many a$$holes to do that. So, I left! Never regretted that decision and never looked back either. Best thing I ever did. Never been happier!

 

Maybe you could use a helmet cam while driving your MC.

 

Even if you have an accident where the other driver accepts responsibility and there is no damage, you should always get their registration plate number, go to the local police station and have it recorded on their blotter. I have heard of cases where the guilty party goes to the police station and records it as a hit and run and suddenly there are witnesses backing him. See link below for helmet cam.
