Has anyone any experience of the RAC 05 Dashcam? http://www.racshop.co.uk/sat-navs-tech/dash-cam/product/rac05-dash-cam-super-hd.html In my view, it has two good points as follows: - An excellent Dashcam. - Importantly for me, it can be loaded with the pocketgpsworld safety camera database that can be regularly updated if you are a subscriber to http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/ I have a 63 plate X3 xDrive 30d M Sport with Professional Sat Nav, but there is no way you can put the pocketgpsworld safety camera database on it, so I have always used a cheap garmin satnav that sits down in the cigarette lighter ashtray to alert me for the safety cameras. All a bit of a compromise to say the least and has to be setup every time I go out on longish trips. The RAC 05 Dashcam could be a compromise for a forward facing camera with speed camera alerts. I can then put my excellent Mobius facing the rear.
Take a look at the Koonlung KS1 (google search) One of the best and most discreet on the market in full HD quality front and rear. I've used it for a year now and have to say, cracking. It also has speed cam alert, lane departure warning and a few other bits n bobs. If i get time over the weekend, i might do a wee review with installation with pics etc etc.
Thanks B2BLX I look forward to your review. I note there are several other Dash Cams with speed camera alerts. See... http://www.activegps.co.uk/dash-cam-comparison.htm Also... http://www.activegps.co.uk/snooper-speed-camera-detectors.htm In particular this looks good. http://www.activegps.co.uk/snooper-dvr-4hd.htm
Yip. But the big difference being the KS1 has HD both front and rear and the cameras are approx 2cm x 3cm (tiny) Control unit can be located anywhere out of sight etc etc
I have just watched the review by Techmoan. See... http://www.techmoan.com/blog/2015/3/1/k1s-the-first-front-rear-hidden-1080p-dash-camera.html He says the the camera database does not work in the UK. This is very important to me and one of the main reasons for using a combined unit. Lack of non working speed camera database is a show stopper for me.
Is it updated by them automatically or do you have to subscribe and do it yourself? Google for UK ... https://www.google.co.uk/webhp?sour...GB378&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=k1s dash cam uk
There is also 2 versions KM and MPH, obviously here in the UK we need MPH. best place to source is Alibaba This site is a good source for info and also firmware etc etc http://www.innovv.com/#!the-k1/cm4l
Ill take some pics of the screen when out today, mine will be a little different as I use an extension screen (going to interface to NBT unit shortly). Ill explain with the pictures.
