Thanks for your input guys. I'm always fascinated where the cameras you see commercially originate from.
Clearly the RAC (originally a motor breakdown/recovery firm over here) are just sticking their name on them, so was curious to see who made them.
Thanks again.
Hi,
I noticed that QVC (UK) have this RAC camera for sale. Out of interest, does anyone recogise the camera's origin (I'm presuming it's a re-branded cam)?
I've been looking around, and the nearest I can find is this Polaroid branded* camera.
*I realise Polaroid is a re-brand name too!
Ok - thanks. I'll probably have a look at the weekend when I have more time.
I presume it's just a case of taking the lid off again and gently twisting the lens assembly slightly?
What sort of distance should the camera be focussing on?
I had to change the battery in my A2S60 dash cam last year, and although everything seemed fine at first, the quality of current footage is quite poor.
I thought I was careful, I'm presuming I've disturbed something whilst I had the camera apart, and wondered if it could be a focussing issue...
Thanks everyone for the information and tips, it's certainly food for thought.
I'll have another measure up in the morning, but I think I'll probably have to use an extension to allow for enough slack and discreet routing from the power source.
Also, thank you for the mounting options - I...
Out of interest, how is everyone routing the cable to the camera / whereabouts at the rear are you positioning the camera?
I have a spare cam which I was going to put in the back of my car (hatchback/MPV) but I'm bit stumped where the best position would be, and what happens to the cable when...
Thanks for that jokiin. I think I might have to go down the double lock route - I don't need to remove the cam, but it appears to be readily available.
Apologises for waking up an old thread, but I was wondering if anyone had tracked down any black 3M VHB tape in the UK in a small quantity?
Does it matter which version is used? and is clear tape any less noticeable?
Thanks for the links guys. :cool:
I think I'll pick up an A model and a lens kit and then I can have a good test between the various viewing angles and wide/narrow settings.
Hi,
I'm thinking of trying out a Mobius B as a rear camera, and wondered where everyone was buying theirs from?
It is normal to pick up a full 'B' unit, or get a lens kit and convert an 'A' model?
Do eletoponline365 sell the B model via eBay, or is it a special request?
Thanks...
:) I don't think the passenger was a cyborg, though it does look that way.
I think they were sat in the back with the camera at arm's length. :rolleyes:
Spotted this coming around the corner on the way home from work last night.
I think they need to have a look at the 'Where did you mount your camera?' thread for some tips.
Indeed. I am just going on the theory that if a 32GB card overwrites every 4 days, then a 16GB one will overwrite every 2 days, which doubles the overall number of rewrites per year. Of course, the memory should be good for tens of thousands of rewrites, but I'm hoping that the less times the...
