I've gone and done it now

While I agree with the reasons you guy's use camera's I think it's sad that the standard of driving and the general attitude of people when they have an accident is so low that people need photographic evidence of even a quick trip to the shops.

Our new truck at work has 4 cameras and records audio!

 

The coach I drive has 8 cameras inside and out. The problem I have is, would you report yourself doing something you would report someone else for?

 

I have seen instances where some of the drivers have been rescued by the cameras on the bus after false allegations.I must admit I am hung on this issue as I have also seem innocent men suspended and lose their jobs because of cameras.I may end up with one myself and I can also see a point where they are fitted as standard.
Its protection at the end of the day.

 

To be honest I've had a few `near misses` from apparently blind road users recently and a cam did pass my mind. Let's be open here, a lot of people would deny any wrong doing if there was no evidence.

 

I`m with you on this one littleaide, got exactly the same camera + clearwater darla LED driving lamps on the Tiger....damn they are retina burning bright & have definitely seen a reduction in motorists pulling out in front of me + they are dimmable so I keep em down on low to use as a DRL but when in traffic & filtering they are turned up almost full. Jobs a gooden

 

The dangerous time for bikers in this kind of scenario is when they look at you then look left... It means they haven't seen you at all.....alarms should be sounding to concentrate harder & prepare to take action

 

Rather than starting a new thread on bike mounted cameras I thought I’d post here, as what I want to ask is relevant to some posts above, and the camera I’m interested in is mentioned by Ade (@litteade).
So, I’ve been trying to research the web but can’t find out what the difference is between the Roadhawk cycle edition and the R+ moto edition apart from the bloody price! They both seem to have the same features in terms of record time (obviously sd card dependant), waterproofing, battery life, size, etc.
Any of you guys and girls out there got any more info you can share to help me choose.
There’s a moto edition on eBay at the mo for £120 and a cycle edition for £60.

 

Presumably the cycle one only operates on a battery rather than having the ability to be hard wired.

 

I'm more than happy with my roadhawk - had it hard wired on the Tiger for two years now.

 

Drift XL is the latest all weather very decent camera

Around£100

 

A mate had a bracket on his handlebars.
I said whats that for?
He says my new super duper camera
...... errm is that a good idea?

Enough said and the bracket disappeared.

Be careful guys, the evidence goes both ways with a few examples surfacing were you and your mates are reprimanded on YOUR own evidence.
