Dashcam

Front and back separate cams selected because they are a small size very unobtrusive however produce really sharp images. I feel much more confident about having to refer to the recordings of this model than those great big muckle things you see in some cars. There are people who think you don’t have a dash cam until you show them, then they back out of any argument. Excellent piece of kit , would recommend it to everyone.
