Anyone here running a dash cam in their Z? After someone did this to my last 4Runner and then departed the scene, I got one of these
It seems worthwhile for the same reasons I purchased one for the 4Runner, but also because I noticed my 370 attracts quite a number of persons interested in contests of acceleration. One of these said parties lost traction departing a light and managed to cut across my lane and onto the curb. I've caught some odd things with the camera I own. If anyone of you have experience with dash cams and like a particular model, please post. Thanks |

I'm interested in this. There was a thread started a while ago about these thin gs but it seams to have fizzled out.
How is the video quality of the one you use? Does it overlay speed?

With a 32 GB card, it can hold a lot of video. It has a G sensor to auto protect files in the event if an accident. |

I was looking for a setup that you could attach multiple cameras to (Front/back/both sides) that records real-time. I would think something like that could be built and connected to an iPad or something similar.
Drive-time here in Raleigh is insane sometimes and it would be fun to have some of it on video. |

Are there any with a feature where it only keeps 5 or 10 minutes worth of video and actively deletes anything past that?
I'd like a hands off system unless something happens so the memory card never fills.

You set the segment times (1, 5, 10 min) and it overwrites the oldest file. You can have many days worth of normal driving stored, so it is (like a Ronco device) set it and forget it. You can guard a file from deletion or over write by pushing a button.

I am considering to get one, how about the video quality? I googled this one looks the same as you attached, is it possible for you to attach some video demos on this item?

lets see some of the "odd" video I wear a gopro when riding my motorcycle more for catching some stupidity. I like the idea as i was seriously (no bullshit) framed by a detective for racing a motorcycle. I would have loved to have video showing that there was NO WAY i was racing a friggin motorcycle...

Would it be possible to record at night, when my car is more likely to be vandalized?
