Do you have a dashcam?

This is a warning not to do business with this site or it's director. He advertised products as being available when he does not have stock.
He will take your money and not inform you after you have paid that there is no stock.
When you query why your product has not shipped he will give you a story about some company having taken all his stock a few hours before your order and that he is waiting for new stock.
When you ask for a refund, although your funds have been in their account for days, he will make you wait.
And after all this, he will reply with un-professional comments and child like behavior. All in all a very poor experience to be had.

I've ordered a few cams from them in the past and never had a hassle with the ordering process.

The return process however was a pain in the arse. This year I had a new camera that went bad after less than a month .

The hoops I had to jump through and back-and-forth with the guy to prove it wasn't my fault even before returning the unit was atrocious. Followed by the veiled threats of not covering a replacement if they deemed it my fault after all.

I sent it back, heard nothing and then suddenly had a tracking number for a replacement. Got the result I wanted, but left a bad taste in my mouth.

I look at it as just another additional item for thieves to break your window and steal. So…. No!

My Garmin DC45 dashcam has a magnetic mount in its bracket - and a self-adhesive opposite polarity mounting that attaches to the windscreen - so all I do when I park the car is unplug the USB power cable, pull the dashcam off its magnetic mounting & lock it away in the glove-box when I park my car in any public space.

After 3 expensive dashcams died prematurely, I bought a R380 cheapie from TEMU. Does 720p and much better than those I have had before

Saves on a 32Gb micro-SD card

Do you have a dashcam?

If so has the footage proven itself to be of any real value?

Great for YouTube

The cheapie from Temu. Have had it for awhile but never really checked the video, until today when I needed to. Sadly cannot actually put the recording up, though this is rendered down to 720. Passable for Dashcam, a little pixelated like cannot see the number plate really far off but if it's about a car or 2 away you can.

Don’t like driving without a dashcam. Would prefer one that records behind me as well.

This one has the port for that, I would just need to buy the camera and run it behind me, though it has an in cabin one but the dangling air freshner blocks it.
