Recommend me a dash cam?

[BenR]

Hi all you won't know but I had an accident in the summer on the MT-07, stupid woman in a 4x4 pulled out of a car park less than 2 metres in front of me, I ended up with four broken ribs, broke both elbows & severe lacerations to my knees. The knock on effect was £12000 in lost earnings plus a £1500 parts bill plus I still need to get a new helmet & jacket, another £500. I can't really afford to lose £14000 & whilst a dash cam won't stop an accident it should pave the way for me to sue the bastards in the future.......should I survive. Before anyone says it I couldn't claim off of her as there were no witnesses & no CCTV. I've been looking at the Innovv K3 as there's a seller on eBay selling them for £279.99 but I admit I don't know much about dash cams just wanted some opinions. One that can be hard wired for constant power & insurance approved would be nice too. Any help much appreciated ta!

I bought an Innovv. It failed after six months and the warranty claim was refused because there was a cable tie mark on the cable going to the camera.....

Sorry to hear.

I don't have one myself but have certainly heard good things about the Innovv; it's probably what I'd go for.

You might also want to consider the legal viewpoint here (this is from well-respected bike solicitors White Dalton):

I wouldn't want one wired in and recording every single ride. I engage in far too much dickheadery and lawbreaking for that.

The Innovv camera decided it wouldnt work. After some pissing about (under their instruction) that involved me having to buy a new memory card I sent it back to them and they diagnosed that the camera part had failed because of the cable tie mark. As they wanted £75 for a new camera I declined.

Do you want a bike mounted cam, that won't catch some stuff because it's not aimed in the right direction, or do you want an action/helmet cam?

My gopro hero 4 session is still going, 2016 purchase. It caught this, but a bike mounted one probably would have too...

I've been using a front & back K3 set for the last 18months, even swapped them to a new bike earlier in the year. Never had a problem. Admittedly I don't check the recordings very often as they are a evidence gathering rather than action cameras, but when I do it's good quality footage and decent sound. Expensive and fiddly to fit if you've got a lot of tupperware to remove, but mine have been reliable and do the job.

Hi all I ended up buying the Blueskysea DV988. I fitted it recently but it isn't working properly. It boots up fine but switches itself off after only a minute or two. I'm taking the power off of the auxiliary power output from the bike. Should I strip it all off & send it back or could it be something simple? Cheers.

Has anyone used a Techalogic DC1? I have more than 1 bike and hence was looking at a helmet mounted camera of some kind. This records forward and backward which seems like a good idea.

The major downside is the need to change the thing each ride & not sure I would be disciplined enough to do it.

Yeah, the unit will want power 24/7 on the red wire for the "parking bump" feature. The white/aux wire is its signal to wake up for a journey (and go to sleep at the end.)
