Do you run a Dash Cam?

Been shopping for one. Looking at specs and trying to figure which is good without spending $300.

 

Anything on Amazon around 100$ good.
Make sure you have 2 good future on it
1st Motion sensor, so what it does it's record any moment around your truck.
So when you get to go to bed , and will wake up 8 hours later with your hood fell off. It will be ez to track down who did it.
Why nor put it on record all the time? Well memory on your device quite limited, especially if you have good camera on it.
2nd look for device with Sony sensor in it , they right now best for your buck.

 

Highly recommend a dash cam. But I mute the mic so if the inevitable happens they won't hear me inventing new cuss words. Also I hear that it is best, if possible, to not tell the other driver about your footage, especially when they are obviously at fault yet defiant in their proclaimed innocence. Just let them have lots of rope to hang themselves later.

 

You mute the mic? Mic is a good thing especially with dot stops man.

 

I mute the mic too. Just have to touch the side of the cam to turn it on though if I want to.

 

I have my own. Also the company put one in.

 

I haven't priced dash cams in a while but that seems a really good price for one with gps. Nice.

 

Dash cam plus a camera on each mirror facing the rear. It has helped me 2-3 times. Could’ve been 5-6 times but all the action happens when I don’t have it on. Tip: always have it on

Dash cam Action starts ~12:05


Mirror cams action starts ~2:50

 

I've been seriously considering it for entirely too long. In fact, this post has inspired me to get off my ### and do it. Was initially thinking of repurposing a cell phone for this but seeing how affordable the dedicated cams have become I may get one of those instead. With all these Transportation Lawyers plastered on every other billboard on most major cities I should add a little protection from possible future litigation.
