 So here's the thing about Three weeks ago me and my daughter are at karate class We leave karate class and we tend to have these little mini dates on the way home So I stopped at five guys to get some fries for us and then we head home That's about 8 30 at night and it's fairly dark here where I live I kind of live out in the middle of nowhere and there's no street lights, so I'm a few blocks from home when all of a sudden this big truck comes flying up on my butt and And now he's on my butt for a couple of seconds now all I can see is headlights right in my rear-view mirror And all of a sudden he goes over it's like he's passing me and all of a sudden he just boom comes inside swipes my car You know my daughter drops her french fries everywhere, which is was upsetting Luckily minimal damage really the only damage I have is Can you see a little dent here and then a scuff mark right here? I think that's his tire rubbed against my car I thought was it the sound it made I thought the whole side of my car was gonna be crushed in anyway I step out of the car. I grabbed my phone. He stops maybe you know 10 feet up in front of me I grabbed my phone and I'm gonna take a picture of his license plate Well, I step out he floors it backwards almost hits me stops right next to me starts yelling at me through the window It's so dark. I can't see him. He yells. Why'd you hit me? And I I didn't hit you you hit me I start to walk around his car again to get a picture of his license plate But as I'm walking he keeps backing up so I can't do it. So then I dial 911 he backs up and takes off never saw him again You know, I didn't have much to tell the the officer other than I could tell him it was a handicap license plate But I didn't get any numbers off it. I didn't get the picture. I tried and tried and tried so a week later I decided to get myself One of these little dash cam And it's a cheap one, but it works pretty good it was $18 on Amazon I Could get something similar for you know about half that price on eBay But I figured if I didn't like it returning things on Amazon is a lot easier plus I'd get it the next day rather than a month later The only issue is so it's very simple. So in fact, let me let me take it down here It has a little window clap It had two different ones that came with it a little this one's a suction unit They also have one that's sticky so you can stick it on your dash if you want. It's powered through micro USB Records everything to SD card has night vision has like shock so it detects when you have a accident so it locks in the video So it doesn't get overwritten you have options It has this loop recording which means I have it set so that it does little video clips Five minutes each you can do one minute two minutes or five minutes and it's set so that When the card gets full it's supposed to start overriding the old ones right now I have an eight gig card in there. It's a micro SD card it Supports up to a 32 gig Right now the little bit testing I've done it takes fairly good video If you hook it up to a computer through through the USB port it will not only You gives the option to get the files off the card if you don't have an SD card reader But it also will work as a webcam. It actually works pretty good. It does record audio and You know, it's a wide-angle lens. It's a little grainy, but it looks good In fact, I'll probably do some videos with it to show you guys what it looks like. Oh, it's hot out right now Anyway, the only problem I had it comes with this USB cable and a little you know plastic pry bar So I just ran it down, you know underneath the plastic here on my door and down and my Outlet is actually my armrest here. It just barely made it the only problem is My outlet is one of those some cars when you turn off the car the outlet goes off Some stay on mine stays on all the time So the camera set has a little bit of a battery in it that it takes when the power goes off and then it shuts down the the camera and Which is nice, but it's like I'm worried that this is going to kill my battery I've I've been leaving it plugged in and then after a couple of days There was one where I got up and then I started my car it sound like it may have not started quite upright So then I was like, okay, I do have to get Some sort of wire to wire this into my car so that it shuts off when the car shuts off So that is what I'm going to be doing a video on soon I should be getting that package in the mail today and I'll go over all that in a the next video So but I want to talk about this a little bit again. It's it's it's it's a cheap It's the brand names right there. You can see it maybe focus on it It's d-e-s-p-k-o-n, but there's so many runs. I'm not you know sponsored by this or anything I wish I was but um It just slides on there and it's it's recording right now Like I said it records little five minutes. Oh, I started to say it does um Videos with the 8 gig card it records it did about an hour of video before it started overriding the old one But it still had almost a full gig free So I don't know if it does like when the camera is like 90% filler full or 8% full I don't know if I put it if I put a 32 gig in there if it will record, you know Four hours worth of stuff, but right now it's recording an hour worth of stuff in five minute clips And then when it gets to the end it keeps those and starts overriding the old files Which is nice and again, it has that shock sensor that if you get into an accident It's supposed to lock in the video so it doesn't overwrite the one that's record It even has a park mode that's supposed to tech even if the car is off and it gets jostled or something It turns on it starts recording so if someone's breaking into your car or vandalizing your car Hopefully it gets pictures all if they're stealing your car. It's probably gonna be gone. Anyway, so yeah Since I'm just doing videos on my car I thought that I'd throw this little video in there and we'll talk more about the wiring in the next video. So Thanks for watching and I hope you have a great day
