Hi,
I have just had a scary experience on the A34 in the UK. A car with four guys in executed a extreme stop on an empty dual carriageway. I very nearly hit it. I believe this was an insurance scam. When I tried to take photos with my phone they left at great speed.
I have been driving for business all my life and have never experienced anything like this before. It shook me up.
This experience has convinced me to invest in a dash cam. Having read some of the reviews I am considering the Viofo V3.
I drive a BMW 530D Touring F11. I am receiving some medical treatment so sometimes the car will stand for a week or two. Is hard wiring this car straight forward?
I note that the V3 does not have WIFI will I regret this? As my car is an estate (station wagon) and has a socket in the boot, I could conceivably mount another in the rear at a later date should I decide to. Generally my impression is that you get a better picture quality with the single view dashcams.
If I hardwire into my car is it up to me to set the cam so it doesn’t drain the battery or is there low volt protection in hardwire kit?
Any input gratefully received!
