Ysc3 Twincharged October 26, 2011 Share October 26, 2011 maybe it's time for me to do that! but what about days that are windy or rainy? i use the cardboard to block out sunlight and the greenhouse effect inside the car .... i once left my hp in the car and only realized it a few hours later ... when i went to my car to get my phone, the screen was like darkened !! but it managed to recover after a while in the aircon office. it was abit troublesome ... having to put up the board when parking and then removing them when driving off ... but it works. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nas17215 Neutral Newbie October 26, 2011 Share October 26, 2011 Look at this Wah.... These kids dared to spray water even when there was someone in the car. Why didn't your passenger confront the kids on the spot? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
R_aquarii 1st Gear October 26, 2011 Share October 26, 2011 How 'cheap' is your cheap? I think like you too, video quality is third importance to me. First importance is able to record without lags, and don't 'black-out' suddenly. Second is affordability. U want to capture hit-n-run then u get one cam with motion detector, or run yr cam 24/7. Yr 'cheap DVR' comes with motion detection function? only cost $50+ there is motion detector but the battery life can last about 5hrs+ no point of getting cheap camera with poor video image. even if you can capture hit&run vehical you can't capture their number plate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nzy Twincharged October 26, 2011 Share October 26, 2011 solar film only helps when you are driving with the a/c on. one you park under the sun, no film can help ... my $1k 3M film also sucks big time when parked under the sun. once i even resorted to cutting corrugated cardboard to the size of my windows and placing the cardboard there to block the sun when parking !! that will work. I think got to do with the solar film's heat rejection? My solar film less than $100 but then got a significant difference from no solar film. Park for 2-3hours under the hot sun and the interior is alittle warm only. Can put your hand on the dashboard for as long as you want. Before I installed my solar film sure can't touch the dashboard for more than 2s if park under hot sun for a few hours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TVT Supercharged October 27, 2011 Share October 27, 2011 News today reported that 3 taxi companies will call for tender to buy cams for all their cabs! About 4,000 cabs will be equiped with cams once all are installed. This is good news, as I see it. It will make the cams more popular, and perhaps make it cheaper. Cab drivers will also drive better since they know their behavior will be recorded. Other car drivers will also drive more proper knowing more vehicles now have cams to record any reckless driving....IMHO, yeah Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sesamic30 Neutral Newbie October 28, 2011 Share October 28, 2011 i saw some demo, korean brand something like "vue", demo was good, picture quality also excellent. I may want to try it, but that one cost around $400+. Autobacs has some, cheapest was under $300 but not sure of quality as product was not on demo.
