Hi all,
I couldn't find a specific place to say hi so hopefully it is ok here?
A few weeks ago I was involved in an RTC whereby I was a victim of a head on hit and run. Unfortunately, by the time I was able to get out the car to get details the other car was long gone. Had I had a dashcam I would not be in the position where I am going to lose my no claims (even though I was not at fault).
Anyway, I have purchased a new car and I want to get myself a dashcam to try and protect myself a little in case it happens again.
My main criteria is one that is as discrete as possible, that ideally hides behind the rear view mirror. I am looking to install it permanently and will ideally like to hardwire this into my new car. As I drive every day for work and sometimes park in a public carpark, I would ideally like something with a parking mode that switches on and records when needed (of course I am aware that a dashcam wouldn't catch everything but looking to reduce the risk as much as possible).
Also, I don't want it to be a massive drain on my car battery if I were to leave it in parking mode all day.
So in short I am looking for something small and discrete that switches on when I turn the engine on and also has a parking facility for the odd days that I park in public carparks.
My budget is around £200 however can go a little higher if the right product is out there.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
