buddysbuddy Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 hi, due to the increasing " brilliant" standard of driving that I see I am considering fitting a dashcam . I have a query-- I realise that I need to set this up, so does the dashcam hold the settings when I take it out of the car? I am thinking particularly about date and time settings. I am looking at the type where I plug into the cigarette lighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dardandec Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Yes, they have a battery in them that will charge when you are using it in the cig lighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 It's best if you can descreetly wire it in to the car's electrics, so you don't have wires everwhere and plugged in to ciggy lighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANGELFIRE1 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 My sat nav turns itself off 6 or 7 seconds after the ignition is turned off. The reason been it's a mini computer and it requires a few seconds because it is saving the last file to the micro sd card. Angel1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamezone07 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 (edited) Thinking about getting one, for reason as in OP., near miss by bad driver again near Mayfield, Ranmoor, but also fact car has been bashed again, needing new exhaust. There seems to be a lot on the market, but i reckon i need a discrete one. maybe rear and one that comes on with movement, any ideas, tx Edited September 4, 2017 by gamezone07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a few people that have had them fitted at Halfords and they did a perfect job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
