    Dashcam for Bicycle?

    Can anyone recommend a camera for use as a bicycle dashcam when commuting to work? I don't want to stick a go-pro on my helmet. Front and rear coverage preferred - can be two separate cameras. Ideally with fittings in the box or a dedicated accessory available for mounting on a handlebar so I...

    Roundabout Wrong Way

    It's been a few years since I saw someone drive the wrong way on a roundabout. I was not going that way, so I didn't follow to see if anything happened.

    No more dashcams for me

    We're probably going to sell / scrap my car in the next few weeks or months, so I won't be needing a dashcam anymore. I might drop into the forum once in a while to see what's happening. I've learned a lot about cameras in my 10 years here, and made a few online friends too.

    Mobius 1S & 8mm Telephoto Lens

    When I bought a Mobius 1S last month I also purchased an 8mm lens from AliExpress, with the intention of building this telephoto dashcam. Mobius 1S Camera 4K Lens 12Megapixel M12 1/1.7" 8mm I replaced the original A2 lens holder with a C2 lens holder. This is because the C2 holder is...

    A139 Pro Stopped Recording Suddenly

    About 20min from home on a 4-hour round trip today the camera shut down suddenly, with the last video files from both front & rear cameras being corrupted. I have notification sounds turned off, so I did not notice anything was wrong until I parked at home and saw no lights on the camera...

    Mobius 1S - First Impressions

    I bought a Mobius 1S last week. My first impression is that it looks, feels and handles just like the Mobius 1 that I bought in 2013. Of course that is to be expected since Mobius have re-used the original case, even down to retaining the mini-USB connector. Internally, the battery and its...

    How important are good headlights for good dashcam performance at night?

    I recently bought a Viofo A139 Pro and I soon realised that I was not getting the same results as other people with the same camera. @Mtz captured this image at a vehicle closing speed of ~200km/h By comparison this is one of my best captures at 40+40 = 80mph = 130km/h There are many...

    Viofo A139 Pro - First Impressions

    I bought the Viofo A139 Pro 1CH soon after it was released. This is my first dashcam purchase in 6 years, after a few years of testing a number of pre-release cameras including the Viofo A129 Duo, A129 Pro & 5MP A139. I have stopped testing because I simply don't have the spare time any more...

    My dashcam setup

    It has been 6 years since the last time I bought a dashcam, in 2016, the Street Guardian SG9665GC. Yes, I have tested a number of pre-release cameras since then, but perhaps only one of them would have been my preferred choice. For personal reasons I stopped all testing earlier this year, so I...

    Mobius 1S Announced

    Edit: The Mobius M1S is now available I launched mSetup today and it updated to a new version - 7.0.0.1. Curious to see that was new, I found reference to a Mobius 1S camera. Looking at the parameter list, it appears to be a 1440p camera. The original Mobius 1 is no longer listed for sale...

    A139 (Pro) Telephoto Remote Camera

    For a number of years I have experimented with the use of third-party fixed telephoto and varifocal M12 lenses on a dashcam, the intention being to complement a primary wide-angle dashcam by capturing information that the primary camera might not record. A telephoto lens can do this by recording...

    HDR Dashcam for Night Driving

    My hobby results in me driving a lot at night so I'm looking for the best option currently available to capture details at night, which I expect will be using some kind of HDR. I don't mind too much if daytime recording is compromised since I'm happy to run two front cameras - one all-rounder...

    New car - old camera

    I parked next to a shiny new Tesla today and was slightly surprised to see an old, battered Mobius 1 in the windscreen. It looks like the battery has swollen and popped the case, but the owner has simply put some zip-ties around it and carried on :eek:

    A139 Missing Video - Stopped Recording (Fixed)

    My pre-release A139 has normally been very reliable. However I checked the files from a drive yesterday and saw there were some missing files. - The A139 correctly recorded 1-minute files on all 3 channels up to 2022_0920_125643_F - The next file 2022_0920_125743_F is only 3 seconds long, with...

    Mobius Hardwire

    Can anyone advise whether switching to a 2-wire (ACC & GND) hardwire kit is more (or less) reliable than using a USB adapter? Does a hardwire kit have an inline capacitor to provide a more consistent power supply than the 12v circuit?

    UK Hot Weather

    I might be able to do a high temperature test on my dashcams as we're forecast to see record-breaking temperatures early next week. The highest temp ever recorded in the UK was 38.7degC, but forecasters are saying there's around a 50% chance of exceeding 40deg on Tuesday. That's not...

    Speedcam Anywhere

    New controversial app turns smartphones into speed cameras Auto Express link Do we think this is a good idea? In the past I have submitted dashcam video evidence of dangerous driving to the police, and they have acted by penalising them for traffic offences. However I'm not sure I support...
