Hi.
I'd like some advice on dashcams and parking camera / sensor.
There are so many available I don't know what to choose so would like some personal recommendations please.
I want a dashcam for front and rear, one that records if the car is bumped when parked, I'd also like it wired in to the car.
I'm thinking a parking camera is better than the sensors but don't know anything about them so could anyone recommend any.
I have been to Halfords but I don't think they were much help.

    It's in the sticky at the top but it hasn't been used in years so won't be much help.

    Cheers fella :)
  • I have done a fair bit research and the best I can find for features and looks and my purposes is the Blackvue DR750S-2CH

    Front and back in the box and you will need the Power Magic Pro if you want to use as a parking/movement sensor without draining your battery.

    I'm getting the professionally fitted thursday week so I'll let you know my thoughts if your interested.

    I'm buying them because I was forced into a motorway crash barrier by a wagon, last December, writing off a 40 grand car and he didn't even stop.

    Maybe that's because people are indulging far too many new posters instead of helping them find a concise source of info.

    The sticky still contains valuable info despite its age.

    Thank you very much pe567567567 for your help I will take a look at that one.
    I will be interested to hear your thoughts on this as I'd much prefer a personal recommendation.
