Dashcam for CAR
Driving in Indian road traffic is an adventure. And when someone may crash into you, you can never tell. So it makes complete sense to have some sort of surveillance for the car.
I spent about INR4500 ($62) and got this below car dashcam.
This chinese-made ( There are some europian-designed made-in-china dashcams but they are costly! ) dashcam can record in upto 1080P resolution and supports upto 128GB SD Cards.
I am using a 32GB SD Card and it can record upto 7Hrs of footage in 32GB, and then it starts overwriting older files. The footage is of decent quality, you can catch other vehicles number-plates in daylight. One good thing with this particular model is it comes with hardwire-kit and you can directly plug it into your car's fusebox and that means your single cigarette-lighter port remains free to use during driving.
This camera has a capacitor inside which can help save emergency videos in case of a collision / crash.
It also has a gravity sensor to detect collision and automatically save next 10 seconds video footage. Though I found the sensor to be sensitive to our potholed roads, and I have to set the sensitivity to high.
It can also record audio of conversation inside the car. And it's removable from the mount, which means you can take it with you to download the videos etc at home comfortably.
It's performed well during my long road trip and I think from security point of view it's an excellent addon.
