    Will dash cams one day end up like car alarms? part of the car?

    Control of the footage is key. People didn't notice black boxes arriving in cars, but they will notice cameras. If the footage can be collected and used by the police without a court order then no, no, no. I won't drive it.

    Subaru EyeSight -- tapping the existing cameras as dashcams?

    If you could tap in the you would at least need a powered splitter so there is no loss of signal. It is possible that the video image is tailored to the eyesight system and not of use to you. (Brightness, contrast, color scheme, uv/ir etc) I personally would not mess with a safety system.

    Not the cleverest of kids but why I have dashcams (bad language)

    TBH, the amount of time you were visible to him before he started moving is all in his reaction time. At the moment he set off you were not visible. I agree with your statement that the speed limit on this corner is too high. That definitely needs to be a 30mph, or lower. Flip it around...

    C3 won't record or connect to computer (SOLVED)

    Thank you for taking care of this. If you could send me a new lens cable that'd be perfect. I'll package up the old lens and set it back labelled "Lens". You can give me the address via email.

    C3 won't record or connect to computer (SOLVED)

    If I hold the cable still then it will record and function normally. If I move the cable then it will cause the image to be lost and the camera crashes in whatever sttae it was already in (if crashed is standby, then the red light stays on until i reset it. If crashed in recording mode the in...

    C3 won't record or connect to computer (SOLVED)

    I have my answer. The camera has a loose connection about 4" away from the HDMI connector. I connected the output to the AV on my TV and kept getting the "No Image" message - then if I hold the cable in a certain way the image appears, but if I wiggle the cable about 4" from the HDMI connecter...

    C3 won't record or connect to computer (SOLVED)

    And right back to square one. I had it record for a while, then when I took the power away it continued to slow flash red (orange went away) and does not respond to buttons. The only way to get it to do anything was to hold the shutter and power buttons to reset it. The computer no longer...

    C3 won't record or connect to computer (SOLVED)

    I checked my device manager and found my SMBus and USB drivers are showing an error. I'm updating the BIOS and USB/chipset drivers... Edit: Flashing the FW now Edit: Didn't help. I can see the card if I plug it it to the computer directly, but I cannot see if I plug the camera in via the usb...

    C3 won't record or connect to computer (SOLVED)

    I'm trying this again and I can't get it to recognize the camera as a disk. I have the SD card in, and the camera attached. I'm using the full USB cable, not the power-only cable. When I plug the usb in the camera light goes orange then flashed red/orange slowly. The power button does...

    How do I prevent windows steaming up?

    The windows should only fog up when a person is in the car - and then you can run the demist or crack a window. Should not steam up unoccupied.

    My freeway crash

    I guess my bed WAS a little too close to the wall.

    My freeway crash

    - He and I joined the left lane at the same time, about 7-8 seconds before this clip starts, and he was about 5 or 6 cars behind me. He was already travelling much faster than me and when he caught up he was only behind me for about two seconds then started to pass on the right. He never gave...

    Ah! Didn't know that! Had the camera wires run in the car already. Thanks! I'll download from the site you listed and try again. Thank you!

    C3 won't record or connect to computer (SOLVED)

    Tried a different card and found it auto-started recording when power was applied, but now it will not stop recording. After waiting a minute for it to stop recording I hit the shutter button, held the power button down for 5 seconds, unplug the camera and removed the card. It still flashed...

    I turned, he didn't. Boom.

    In Ohio if a 3rd party insurer "totals" your car they pay you the value of the car (possibly minus scrap value) and you get to keep the car - they don't take it away.

    C3 won't record or connect to computer (SOLVED)

    When I apply power to my C3 I get a stable orange light for a few seconds, then a stable red light. It won't start recording automatically, nor will it start recording if I hit the record button. The sd card is a class6 Samsung 32Gb, and I formatted it in the camera by holding down power and...

    I turned, he didn't. Boom.

    You have a duty to make a reasonable attempt to avoid a collision. As we have seen from the countless Russian dashcam videos, though, making too great an attempt to avoid hitting the bad car usually results in you hitting an innocent car (while the bad car drives away). Legally, many would...

    3rd party insurance, right? Don't feel like you have to accept lesser quality repairs just so his insurance won't total it. Also, don't feel liek you have to go out of your way to make it easy on them. You have a right to be made whole - don't offer to be made 75% whole. Get the quote for...
