Any of you lot got a dashcam? Been mulling it over for months and I'd like a rear-facing one, too. Looking at the Nextbase Duo but it's kinda big and I don't really want something that ’’visible’’. I see so many fucktards on the roads on an almost daily basis, I've said I'm going to get a dashcam for ages, before I come unstuck with one of the dozy cunts. |

Pros/cons of the Nextbase Duo. + Front/rear cams in one unit with synced recording/playback. + Price is reasonable(ish) + Good reviews + Good picture quality (720p) - Not 1080p - Size - Not at all discreet - Target for thieves |

No idea really!?! I've never really thought about getting one if I'm honest! But I do agree... the roads are chocker with plebs! Dabz -=-=- Intel Core i5 6400 2.7GHz, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (8GB), 8Gig DDR4 RAM, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD, Windows 10 64bit

Do you need the two in-sync? Might be cheaper to go for two separate units rather than a "we made it with TWO cameras!" option. You just know they'll hike the price for such a feature!

Well, it's also for convenience. If I want a front camera and a separate rear camera, I have to fuck about installing wiring from the fuse box right to the back of the car. It's not that I couldn't do it... but I don't want to be all sodding day doing it.

Just gaffer tape one of these on the bonnet, and one on the roof above the boot, and your laughing:- Dabz -=-=- Intel Core i5 6400 2.7GHz, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (8GB), 8Gig DDR4 RAM, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD, Windows 10 64bit

I've got a NextBase single front-facing dashcam. It's a great bit of kit, with awesome HD footage, even at night. I have to say though that I have sometimes thught about getting a dual cam kit. I plugged mine into the cigarette lighter port and hid the wire behind the furnishings - they are easy enough to move out and pop the wire under. Not as good as a pro fitting, but it does me. I got it for the same reason as you - far too many idiots on the road. |

Which model? Is it 720p or 1040p? I mean, not having 1040p isn't a dealbreaker but it'd be nice to have the clearest footage possible in case it's ever needed, which is kinda the point. Night footage is a minor concern - we don't drive much at night but when we do... street lamps are an alien concept in this part of the world.

1040P - it's the 402G "High Definition Car DVR with GPS" according to the box. I work nightshifts, so the night vision mode was a definite must-have for me. Definitely as many arseholes on the roads at stupid o'clock as there are in daylight hours. I paid about £150 last year for it - it's down to £80 on Amazon now - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dashboard-Digital-Driving-Recorder-Professional/dp/B00D8YP50A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1504638059&sr=8-1&keywords=nextbase+402g |

 1040p? I'd rather have 1080p. It's a full 40p better.

I'm sure it IS actually 1080p, but the upper 40 lines are used for Teletext data.

Yep, it's definitely 1080P - that's what happens when you reply without your brain kicking in. Night shifts have that effect! My receipt is still in the box - I paid £129.00 (plus £20 for a memory card) on 23.04.2016. |
