I guess it would be useless if it cant capture the number plate  Perhaps best to invest a little more and buy one that does ... also do these cheap ones have night vision

1. Probably of little real legal use anyway unless it also has built in GPS, but could be ok for insurance purposes and deterring Cash For Crash claims.

2. Night ? Don't know. But I pointed it at SWMBO in the kitchen last night  and she looked like she was in Ghosthunters or Blair Witch, so it has something but I don't know what or how good/bad.

For the number plate what you have to remember to do (short of getting pen and paper out), is to read it out aloud, then the sound capture will record it.  Depending on how conscious you are at the time needed

Do the expensive ones capture number plates Ok at reasonable distance?

Hmmmm they changed the aspect ratio, but you get the idea . .

Cycling RTA and death rates are going up, I wonder how long before he is eating somebodies front wing. 

I think it shows the importance of webcams, if you and the cyclist had had an unfortunate meeting and he claimed that you jumped the lights. I think he would have soon been eating his words on this evidence.

great clip   You see what I mean about  wanting a wider angle lens though?

If you stick one of these on http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251313212591 it will work though these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111113168518 look better and thease for extra wide www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290897877782

The second bike very nearly slammed into the side of my car. He needed to brake and swerve very suddenly and I had to brake hard also. If I had not, that young lad would now be in hospital or a mortuary.

Indeed  Thing is and its been said before , how on earth would you begin to explain all this to the police .. at least with this footage its a godsend

Thought I'd pop this one on as well.

Friday 23rd Aug in a traffic jam on the anti-clockwise Western Section of the M25. When i passed a bit later the driver was head down looking at a phone. I couldn't reverse. I had a vision of my Omega and maybe me getting slowly mashed . . .

How the heck did you end up at that set of lights from that direction on the way to Wycombe meet I would suggest a new Tom Tom.....you really went around the houses.

Seriously, cheap or not...it seems to do the job, albeit a bit limited in resolution.

[omega3000]

Seems to be an increase in demand even for the cheap cameras  going for silly money now and can't get a bid in without being outbid
