Dashcam's....

Note to self... NEVER go to Russia and especially in winter!

Do Russian have more collision because they have dash cams or do they have dash cams because they have more collisions.

I've driven a lot in Europe... every country in Western Europe and always see a fatal accident... part of it is speed and part the recklessness of the other guy.

I bought a Swann SWADS-150 DCM. B&H Photo
Nice little camera and fairly simple to operate. Wife saw it in action and liked it, so I got another for her car. It's a discontinued model now but you can still find them for sale in many places..
I've captured a couple of close calls of people pulling in front of me and deer crossing in front of me. I also take it to my part time mail truck job so that I could show the boss what happened if there were ever an incident.

Well, I may have to partially retract my above review. My wife's Swann camera is still working as it should. Mine, however gave up on me this weekend. Long story short, won't power up after trying a couple of different things. Of course there's no weekend tech support. I've emailed them and I'll see how it goes. But past experience with their support tells me that the response won't be lightning fast.
So I went to Amazon and ordered a Transcend DrivePro 220. The Swann should still be under warranty as it was purchased 11/15 so we'll see what happens. I'll use it in my work truck if it's fixed or replaced.

Russia has more dash cam videos because it is more up to the individual's to prove their case. That is the reason everyone has their dash cam as the never sleeping witness. I too have been thinking of getting a dash cam.

I read somewhere it was a requirement to have them in Russia.

I have run little 808 #16 keychain cameras as dash cams for a while now. They work pretty good for cheap but I plan to upgrade to a real dash cam one of these days. I want a unit that has front and rear 1080P cameras with GPS encoded in the video.
