What dash cam do you have installed and how do you rate it? Anyone using the Nextbase 312GW? What insurance companies will discount your policy for using one? Thanks in advance

Got one and works well. Why would I want to involve insurance companies ? Footage is a 2 way street if you get my drift. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Nice to see someone's replied, why not involve them if you have a cam and get discount on your policy Bob?

By the way Bob, what model are you using?

I would not opt for a discount, that one day you have a accident they want the footage and pick it to pieces and end up voiding your policy because you did 31 in a 30 and there fore was reckless Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Exactly I have killed the MPH readout but areal smart ass could work out speed by the GPS readings. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

You could simply work out the speed looking at 2 separate frames in the video seeing what position along the road you are at.

I'll do this in metric: So if you are doing 50 km/h (31 mph), you would cover 100 metres in 7.2 seconds. Or 216 frames at 30 frames per second. Plot the start & finish to see if you got there too soon.

Easy..... just a bit more tedious doing it manually!

You can even plot the precise position for curved roads if the need arises. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

I had a Thinkware F750 in my previous FL2 and it worked really well. I particularly liked the manual record button which would save 10 seconds before pressing it and 20 seconds after into a separate file so that if you come round a corner and there's wildlife in the road or a fantastic view you can view it later and take a still from the video file.
I must get round to fitting one into my current FL2. MY13 Santorini Black SD4 HSE

Been using a Blackvue 1080hd for many years, in the D3, D4, car & FL2.
Hard wired in and easily transferable.

Wouldn't drive without one. FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip,
Bluetooth Music Streaming Module.

I have a 2 channel Pittasoft DR650GW and rate this unit.https://www.blackvue.com/dr650s-series-vs-...omparison/

I have the 412GW a great piece of kit for the price but keep a hold of your receipt, the suction cup fell apart last week in the 30c heat and had to be replaced.I have not heard about a premium discount for having one fitted, but it does give me piece of mind.

I would be wary of looking for a discount from the insurance if anything happens and your camera isn't working misses the crucial part memory card corrupts shows you doing 3 mph over the limit etc etc you are in for grief.

Hi I fitted the Thinkware F770 Duel camera system several weeks back,
my third camera and best so far!
I like the instant access via smartphone (Bluetooth) to view data
