I bought one of these PAPAGO Dashcams about a year ago after thinking it would be a good idea, then buying a few cheaper ones, which I wasn’t happy with, and then researching properly! I have been really happy with this unit and I use it constantly and filmed some interesting stuff and near misses!. One handy feature is the option to display GPS calculated speed on the screen which is more accurate and surprisingly different to what’s on the speedo. Papago recently alerted me to the new model (with LDWS – Lane Departure Warning System and FCWS – Front Collision Warning System) and I am very tempted to go out and by a couple for my partner and my teenage son. Minutes after I installed mine in May 2013, I took to the streets and almost collected a neighbour coming out of his driveway without looking (see the footage here). Warning: They record everything you say as well!!!
I would really appreciate feedback from readers about their experiences with dashcams and any interesting footage you may have collected.
Here is some info from PAPAGO Dashcams:
Life has many unexpected twists and turns that oftentimes place you and your loved ones right smack in the face of danger. Those unexpected mishaps could quickly undermine any person who puts safety first and believes in taking all the precautions in the world. Once life decides to throw chaos your way you may not be able to control the outcome. One of the unsafe activities that we participate in daily is driving a motor vehicle. In the US alone there is a reported estimate placed at well over 5 million accidents per year. With this staggering number we are not surprised that many people are now turning to dashcams to capture those crazy life moments that might get hurled at them. Dashcams are rising in popularity as more and more astounding footage is captured on these handy devices. You may not be able to control the outcome but you can definitely get it on camera.
