    Seeing at night

    One of the topics in this forum is, how to get the best image at night. Typically we rightly focus on which dash cam has the best ability.

    Stop for the school bus (please)

    Vancouver BC school bus. Drivers ignore the stop signals. Really bad behavior. This driver needs a real dash cam (not phone). Maybe the school district could supply/install ones. Our city busses have 6 video camera per bus, to document evidence of criminals. Why not at least 1-2 for a school bus?

    Steam-Punk rear cam, DOD LS300W

    This is not for the majority of users. It is the opposite of stealth, but that was my intent. I have an old car (1948) and instead of hiding the rear cam, I thought I would decorate it to be a gadget from the past. I like the DOD LS300W as it has been very reliable for many years. I took off the...

    Upgrading your horn

    Related to hazards on the road, it may be helpful if your car horn can be heard by the distracted or careless driver. Here in the US, many of the modern cars have much softer horns than 20-30 years ago. It would be easy to not hear them if your radio was on moderate volume and windows up...

    Near miss as truck flies through air in Iowa, USA

    News video from police dash cam. I found it running on a BBC site. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-26646874# It is amazing that neither police car, nor a pedestrian was hit. It happened as a state trooper was questioning a motorist on US Interstate 80, with his dashboard camera still...

    E-Prince - Amazon

    I purchased a DOD WS300W from E-Prince and they provided good sales support. The customs office adds several days to process the shipment but it did ship from their sales office promptly and then delivered quickly after clearing the customs office. Total of 2 weeks, but 10 days in customs. The...
