I reported them to the police, they run away, driver was finally caught about 10 days later. However, the police closed the case “because there wasn’t enough evidence + the cctv wasn’t facing the event at that time”. Anyway! Rant over!!My brother suggested i get a dash cam to be careful in the future. Shopped online, in stores- PC world/Curry’s etc. Everything is expensive. Looked at reviews + specifications for some dash cams on eBay and amazon too. Found this one, it’s qualities are countless, compared to most others of similar dynamics;it’s very economical, compact, easy to load, small so can even hide it behind the mirror + sticks firmly in place without shaking or falling off.This device has a speed processing chip and high light sensitivity sensor, F1.8 super big aperture and 6 glass lens meaning the video/picture is top quality, covers a wide angle view - probably the best of its kind especially the night vision.Another great thing about this dashcam is turning on automatically to start recording if it detects that your car has been hit or bumped into while the car is parked unattended/engine’s off. Means no thief is gana get away with my stuff ever again (few months ago someone broke into my car and took everything in it!)Doesn’t come with a SD card, I had a couple of old 32gb ones at home so put one of them into it, works great. The picture quality is crisp during dark evenings, rainy days, very bright sunlight or even if the windscreen is steamed up. Can easily play back the videos which shows that the dashcam automatically adjusts the exposure depending on the weather conditions/its surroundings/light exposure etc.I feel more secure knowing this tiny dude is there to watch everyone’s move around me!

They're nice and small and tuck up behind the mirror where they don't bother anyone. I can't stand the idea of having a dashcam that obstructs your view in the slightest. Particularly if you go the effort of hardwiring the camera, you'd really never know it was there. My only criticism is that you can't disable the noise the camera makes when it first starts up - it's a bit jarring and intrusive if you ask me.I've made a short video that details my thoughts exactly, and features some driving footage:

Set this up in my volvo - very easy to set up - high picture quality - would recommend. You can't be too safe on the road!edit: Have included a couple of photos of what the dash cam captures, you can now see the quality of it :)

Takes upto 32gb SD card, not included, so have to purchase separately. But does come with usb cable, car charger, 2 adhesive + 1 windscreen mount.Didn't take hardly any time to charge; had lil bit when arrived!Son had to format the card n camera for me; but he did say it was pretty forward n easy to set up.Neat compact lil camera, long cable so doesn't overlap windscreenQuiet when comes on to start recording journeyCamera is so compact, it's practically hidden Infront of the internal mirrorWhilst parked, an Acorn hit the windscreen so camera started recording; but then switched itself off again after few seconds.Not an expensive purchase, worth every penny spent***Camera does get extremely hot in this weather, so he recommended that I bring it in time; easily removed from windscreen, then quick to connect back up again;; but it is going to drive me pots doing this all the time, so hopefully there'll be another solution to prevent the camera getting sunburn whilst on the drive?

I've had Crosstour cameras before, and have always been impressed by the balance of price / quality. I needed a camera for a different car, and wanted something small, so this looked like a good option.As with the products I've had before, it arrived well packaged, and with all the accessories (except an SD card). Fitting in the car is really simple by means of an adhesive pad, and the camera is barely visible from the outside. Tucked up behind the mirror, it doesn't block any vision through the screen either.Set up (if you need to do any) is via the LCD screen. It's obviously fairly small, but readable enough to do the job. The camera records .mov files which playback well on all my devices. Picture quality is good, and you have a nice wide field of vision so everything gets captured.Overall, I'm really pleased with it. Compact, simple to use, and good value.
