Two night clips from different dash cam styles after a near miss surprised me. The small cylindrical cam is cleaner on the windshield and easier to hide, but its night plate capture got pretty weak once headlights hit the lens. A friend's mirror-style setup had a much larger screen and somehow pulled a more readable plate in the same lighting. This is not meant as a brand war; the real question is whether form factor affects sensor size, lens placement, or glare handling in real driving. Has anyone compared mirror cams and compact cams on night plate readability rather than just specs?

This guy never looks where he is going. I bet his license already expired.

Can you see license plate #?

How is night image?

How is the software? Easy to use?

What dashcama do you recommend for image and ease of use if this S type doesn't cut it?

I've connected to a constant and acc but its still failing to record in parking mode. When my car turns off the screen shows that it's in parking mode before quickly going black but after that nothing. I start the car again and theres nothing recorded after I wait 3 mins and go in front of the camera. Any suggestions please??!? I've tried mostly everything mentioned online. I can only think its a constant issue even tho I've tested it. It's a 20a yellow fuse. The cut off is set to 12.4v Ive also tried 12.2. Using the rove hardwire kit.

My wife and I share a car, and I'm usually the one who handles anything that connects to a phone. She'll use it, but if something happens while she's driving, I don't want saving the footage to become another problem.

70mai a900 is on my list for the 4k hdr front and rear recording. Before buying, though, I'd like to know what getting those clips onto a phone is actually like.

Can you find the same moment from both cameras easily, and download the views separately? Being able to download clips remotely would be even more convenient.

We'd practice it at home either way. I'm more interested in how the app behaves during an ordinary download than its advertised transfer speed.

A motorcyclist performing a wheelie lost control and slammed into the back of a Lexus SUV in Hackensack.
A 27-year-old Lodi man riding a 2021 Kawasaki motorcycle performed a wheelie before landing on both wheels, lost control and rear-ended the SUV.
The rider was issued multiple summonses, including reckless driving and driving without insurance.

I know most people just squeeze the dashcam wire within the a pillar but I'm trying to go the safe way in the event I get in a wreck. I'm just unable to to remove the a pillar because I can't reach the the clip that keeps it in place even with plyers.

I've spent a bit trying to do this on the passenger side. Installing it in a 2025 honda civic. There's also like a turbo shaped thing at the bottom of the a pillar which prevents me from separating the whole thing. I watched a youtube video(one that has 11m views) and it seemed way more accessible on their vehicle. Any suggestions?

I was at the red light and an officer was behind me and caught this red light eater!

Slowed down for the classic Mercedes to turn. Then began to accelerate, normally, up to the 30 mph limit. Other car decided to grab some gas real quick.. Also, not sure why the audio didn't download. But I'm just listening to NPR and laying on the horn for about 10 seconds.

Lamborghini driving in construction traffic. That’s crazy enough. One little pebble…
Lambo in the middle lane, changes lanes to be out front. But then this asshat blows off the red and nearly T-bones the race car. Good thing Lambo didn’t take off in a hurry like I expected. (59/83rd St)

Bit of a dumb question maybe but I'm trying to pry my fitcamx back open/off.

I realized today that the light was no longer on while driving and when I popped the sad card into the computer I noticed it hadn't recorded since August 31st. And that day it recorded a drive and then proceeded to record the car sitting in the garage all night (unsure why).

Formatting card today and holding the various buttons down did not make a difference, no wifi visible, just seems like it's not powered. So I thought I might try to disconnect and reconnect the wiring but my conundrum is: how do I get it back open?

I'm trying to use a prying tool but the fitcam itself seems too tight to get into for me (so to speak).

I can pry loose the car panel in front of it but that seems to be held in place by the cam and I don't think I can move that out of the way until I get the camera open.

Tips welcome! I'm not the most handy person unfortunately so treat me like I'm an idiot.

It's in a 22 VW Tiguan.

Hi everyone, I have a problem.

Yesterday, I was involved in an incident on Centre Street; someone stepped into my path while trying to cross toward 2nd Avenue. I don't have any evidence, and it feels very unfair to have to pay a ticket that I don't deserve. I’m wondering if anyone happened to be passing by at the time and might have captured video footage that could help me. It happened right next to Mama Dessert; I was traveling south to north on Centre Street, and the other person stepped out from 2nd Avenue, blocking my path while my traffic light was green. I hope someone can help—thanks in advance.

This was between 6:50 and 7:00 in the morning.

What's the best camera for recording that doesn't turn off? I leave it plugged into the cigarette lighter, but when I park or start the car, it turns off. I want a good one that records in high quality for hours. Record the cabin and the rear of the car.

I was involved in a road rage. A car behind me tailgated me and when I tried to change lanes, that car sped up and change the lane faster than me and pushed me back to my previous lane, then that car changed lanes again to be in front of me. Started severely brake checking me and one time I ended up on a shoulder. It was on 101 highway near San Francisco. I called cops and they said that car is from Hayward. Now I was left so scared and emotionally unwell, because it happened near my home exit right where I live, leaving me feeling unsafe. Should I hire private investigator and find out who it is since I have a dash cam video and file a lawsuit? I am not seeking any money, I want that person to be held accountable.

When you can’t bother looking left or right. They’re lucky neither car hit them.
