Info on Dashboard Cameras?

There are far better cameras available than the "El Cheapo" I bought, but they do get a bit pricey.

Good day Dave S,

I think you did good!

I took your advice and had a look at the Youtube. I must say the man doing the review did a fairly good job. I would also use the GPS as it gives you speed and this can well win an argument when asked where you speeding or not. My concern however is not the device but the theft of the device during a accident. My friend lost his phone, GPS and car radio while he was unconscious?

superglue comes to mind?

General theft is not a concern as you just unclip it and take it with you, but if you're in an accident and incapacitated, it isn't just the camera that will be stolen... After all this is Africa.

Hi there,

If you are looking for an excellent dash cam, invest in a GS1000. It is a full HD 1080p dash cam with a built-in gps logger. I bought one from Top CCTV in Cape Town, and im very impressed. They have a video on one of their websites that shows you the quality of the camera as well as how the software works..
They do shipping as well...and their pricing is good. So contact them if you are interested. I must admit, got excellent service from them as well.

Hi Dave, a dash cam would be the best option for you. A dash cam will record while you drive. There are different settings on the device, such as motion record or permanent record. The motion record will only record when the dash cam picks up motion, which is better as it will save some recording space on the micro sd card. These devices are easy to use...you will get the hang of it pretty soon once you start playing around with it. I am based in Cape Town and got my dash cam from Top CCTV. If you want to, you could give them a call, they will answer all your questions and explain how it works...They also sell an excellent dash cam which is the GS1000. Its got a GPS logger in as well. So you could always go back to the footage and see where you drove on google maps. Its really cool
