Looking to buy one, anybody got one ? any recommendations ?
Been looking online, but there is so many 
I think the info is sto_ed on a card and you put that into your laptop to playback, is that correct ?  |

Bought a nextbase from Halfords 150 quid and then 20 quid for a 32gb card.
It's brilliant and records in high definition and is great at night. Worth the money for peace of mind. |

so you have to take the card out to watch on laptop, how long do they record, is it like 3 minute blocks then overwrite ? |

Connect device to PC or take card out and use it in phone. I usually stick it in my phone and find the clip I want then edit it and yes 3 minute blocks

no lol, but the thought crossed my mind, no its just that every day somebody puts me in danger as it were esp at mini roundabouts, you have to be so careful, and its only a 10 min drive to work |

I use Autoguard on my phone. Records in HD and overlays speed, time, date and GPS coordinates.
It even has crash detection.
Best of all it only cost a couple of quid for the full version. |

Here occasionally, but mostly somewhere else |
If you're going to do it, get the best quality footage you can, esp at night. Storage, Bluetooth, apps, etc - all secondary. If you need to use the footage, nothing else will matter...
I use a GoPro, which is only really useful in daylight, although I still use it.

Do try and hey one that either goes to nightmode or can have the screen off at night while still recording. A mate has one that sits on his windscreen at night next to his satnav... I find them so brought it kills your night vision. |

A 32gb card will record hours of footage. I have one in a 4k GoPro and that records 2 1/2hrs of 4k at a fairly low compression rate. at HD quality with decent mp4 compression, you should get at least 5-10 hours before it starts to loop.
Best place for the cards is 7dayshop. great company, great prices- used them for years and pretty much the only place i look for memory now. I think they might even have dash cameras too? |

Had a Nuvicam, sent it back.
It's a great piece of kit if you can site it correctly in your car. Sadly it wasn't going to work in mine as the view was always going to be partially obstructed (either mine or the cameras).
