Recommend a decent dash cam

Postby stephenuk1982 » Wed Jun 01, 2016 9:00 pm

Hi, wondering if anyone can recommend a good dashcam that does a rear cam to. I've got one at the moment but hates being left on or getting hot which defeats the point of it lol. If anyone could help I'd appreciate it.

I have a Roadhawk, it was a bit expensive, but it is reliable :)

Yep, done it many, many times, but it will start to drain the battery after leaving it on for a week :oops: :P :lol:
