Quick update on my nextbase-412gw, if anyone's interested
Like they say, this realy is plug it in and forget it, so much so I'd forgot to get back here
For the first few trips I took it into the house and reviewed the footage (exelent picture quality both day and night) I also wi-fi'd it to my iPad for a better/bigger picture, great image but sooooo sloooooow transferring the data you wouldn't bother unless there was an incident
Anywho hard wired should be OK.
After just a few days I lost interest in watching where I'd been and now leave it in the car, (I did ask the halfords fitter about theft and he has fitted loads and as yet not heard of any being stolen from cars. ) I'll still take it out if I park anywhere remotely iffy.*
Bottom line
it powers up when I switch the ignition on and bleeps to remind me it's there and working, I have the peace of mind knowing I have a independent witness when needed, what's not to like, sweet
One unexpected side effect, it's made me a better driver
Now there's a record of my driving, I'm not so quick to squeeze in that questionable gap or nip over on Amber
I have turned the on screen speed display off ( nobody's perfect
)
iffy*
Un related Funny story, back in my motorcycle days I knew someone nicknamed "iffy" along with a few others he went to a Harley swap meet (bikers car boot), they shared a stall and wrote there names on each of there items.
Strangely "iffy" sold nothing. It was only at the end of the day that the penny dropped, a potential customer asked " so what's iffy about this crankcase" LOL
