Hi to all, first post here. I wanted to ask if anyone in the community could give me a steer towards a suitable 2 channel dash cam to use as a static recording device. Forgoing things such as good night vision I'm starting to think I would achieve better quality results than a lot of similar priced static home security type camera setups the more i look into it.
I'm enthused by what i've seen (online) with the Starvis 2 generation cams from makes like Black Vue and Viofo but not really sure where i should be going with my needs on this. I'm not expecting number plate identification (even though vehicles approach directly towards/and then away from the cams) but I know shutter speed is important for grabbing a clear still pic when needed along with a good fps rate like 60fps from what i can gather.
My camera fixing point would be road side (outside my house) on a straight rural road with plenty of speeding vehicles and occasional disturbances so looking forward and backward with a fairly small device is a bonus too. Motion triggered recording would be all that was going on through the day I guess.
I want to leave the computer out of the setup and ideally just monitor and control the dash cam from a phone app if poss. An external power supply is going to be a definite.
Can anyone give me a steer towards an recommendations in the up to 400 Uk pounds price area that would fit well with what I've outlined, grateful for any useful suggestions (or obstacles unseen) thanks.
