So, living in the Montreal area and driving in heavy traffic 7 days a week, I have decided to get myself a dash cam in case some nutjob (lots of them around here) decided to run me off the road...
I have been reading a lot over the past weeks and sure enough, for someone with no experience whatsoever with dash cams, it gets overwhelming very very quickly.
Sure enough, I have done enough reading and I think I was able to stop myself on 2 models:
Mini 0806
Hawkeye http://www.canadadashcam.com/collections/dash-cameras-under-200-00/products/hawkeye-dash-camera
I have read a lot about both, and in the end, I am unsure of which one to get.
Of course I want something with good picture quality and what I have seen from both pleases me enough.
My big thing is I find it weird that they are called "dash" cams when they are all made to be positioned in the windshield. I thought a "dash" cam was made to go on the dash lol. Personally, that would be my biggest thing to make my decision as I have a transponder for tolls behind my rearview mirror and I wouldn't want the cam to interfere with the transponder.
Therefore, here are my questions:
- Can either the 0806 or the Hawkeye go on the dash instead of the windshield?
- Has anyone with a transponder encountered problems with it and the cam close to one another in the windshield?
Any other comments/suggestions will be very appreciated on either of these cams.
Thank you!
