E Prance 1080p dash cam

Just a mention for this camera after a month of use. It's absolutely superb in all aspects. Just been looking at the transition of light from daylight outside into a multi-storey and the picture is fantastic. I have a 32GB class 10 Samsung micro SD card in it and it's seamless. It's recording about 4 minute 'clips' which join great. You can get approx 9 hours continuous 1080 HD on that card before it start to loops. I'm getting about 8 days worth of general running around.
Highly recommended

Thanks - timely review as I'm looking to get a dash-camera this week.

Any example vids?

I've got 2 of these (front and back) and they are by the best camera for their money. (Amazon, circa £42 with the 32gb card).

Dead simple to set up, in fact all you really need to do is set the date and time on it.

Footage is amazing.

I'll see if I can upload a sample.

I uploaded a 1080p file to youtube, but it seems to only want to play back in 480p ?

1.50 is where the surprise appears!

It's much better quality on the PC, youtube seems to kill it.

Looks ok but is it me or do you have to be super close to be able to capture licence plate? Are on coming plates captured so they are easily visible?

Not too impressed with that one the dash reflection on the screen is pretty bad is that something that can be solved by mounting it higher or does it require some kind of filter? Also what is plate recognition like with it?

Sorry guys, I did this one originally, so this thread was really an update. My model is the Mini 0801 - http://www.amazon.co.uk/E-PRANCE-Ori...=e+prance+0801

Don'tforget, the image in reality is way clearer than the Youtube upload you see hear, but it gives you an indication anyway.

Any ideas on a feed for a rear one? Obviously I don't have a 12v outlet in the boot

I filmed a cop who was driving badly, and sent the footage to them. Got a phone call from his sergeant and he was sent back on a driving course. !
