Anyone using a dash cam in Baja?
Just wondering what others are using? My Nikon Coolpix needs a larger memory card for what I want.
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

Don't run one at the border gates. Legal or not, they don't like it and they're the boss.

With two you get eggroll:
================
Product Description Color: Black
Ever thought about buying a GoPro but don't have the money for it? Well now you can own a SJCAM for a lot less than the GoPro and with better quality
and more accessorizes.

Love that Amazon link, you can buy a new camera for $68.99, or a used one for $327.44!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

bought the Costco dashcam ($99) a year ago or so and other than the suction cup popping off the windshield when the vehicle gets hot has performed
flawlessly
The only thing I would recommend is checking into is resolution and zoom abilities
Several days after installing the unit I was I-15 southbound out of Escondido and a road rage situation caused an accident about a quarter mile ahead.
Reviewing the footage you could tell what happened but detail and ID of the vehicles , that had both passed me , was not that great.

I bought a couple of these after I got tired of the suction cups falling off. They work great and have adapters for various types of camera mounting
systems

Many cars now come with back up cameras,... Why don't car makers offer option of built in car cams so people can avoid cluttering their dash with
cameras and powers cords?
I think some Toyota Tacoma models now comes with a dashboard GoPro mount, special equipment for the Tecno geek kids

I use an SJ5000. Make sure it is the model with three buttons on the side. Some vendors pass off ones with two side buttons. Not what you want.
By the way, you can buy a water and dust proof case aftermarket that allows you to plug in to 12v while it's in the case. Helps on long bike rides.

I have made 3 or 4 trips up and down (as far as Loreto) in the past year with a dash cam prominently mounted in my car. I have never had anyone at
either the border or at a checkpoint make any mention of it. I let it run constantly (both front and rear) as well as recording sound, speed and
location. I have never had to "use" it but it seems like cheap insurance against corruption and other problems on the road.
Living Large in Loreto. Off-grid and happy.

It would be cool to have one on the drive down Hwy. 5 last week so you could see more of what has and has not been done on that project.

Picked up an Oasser HD dashcam specifically for our upcoming trip to SJD. Works great so far and *sigh* have already found it useful.
