I found an interesting trove of documents about the Toyota dash cam.
28fps video seems odd

And it doesn't appear to have a screen although with the design you would expect one.
so in those countries where it is illegal is it also illegal to just start filming in public with your cell phone?
I think dashcam's in America are still kind of a new thing even though I feel it's catching on a bit. I just saw an episode of The People's Court, where a dashcam was used as evidence, however it was actually used against the plaintiff in a car accident. I felt the plaintiff should've known that it would be used against him because the insurance company sided with the defendant. The judge asked "What are you doing with a camera in your car?" and "Why do you have one?". The outside reporter also asked the same questions and Harvey stated it was a good idea to have a dashcam for insurance companies to save money and to have evidence. In Russia, dashcams are heavily used as that's how the meteoroid was caught on cam.
I've thinking about installing a rear cam as well to accomodate my front one, just in case someone rear ends' me.
What do you guys think? Are dashcams in America catching on fast?
Here you can photo and video all you like pretty much, the problems arise if you publish your footage.
But in general it are BS laws that even the courts dont respect, and judging from what people publish them self, then its pretty much a free for all.
I think you can go by google maps, if a country dont have street view, there are probably some local rules in play.
People still think I’m crazy when I try to sell them on dashcams...they look at me like I’m mentally ill, or like wtf are you talking about? Regardless of how logical it is, they just don’t get it. Me personally, I love all cameras! They’re so important
but the price!!!Yes, I noticed that too. Overall interesting specs. Good temperature tolerances for example. And it doesn't appear to have a screen although with the design you would expect one.
but the price!!!

Everyone I know says they are unwilling to spend the money AND they fear it will used AGAINST THEM... meaning, they speed, and or are generally not gracious drivers .
