Dashcam  Empty Dashcam

Post by Auchinleck Wed Oct 12, 2022 7:09 am

Hi All

I’m looking at getting a Dashcam fitted to our Brourton. Would anyone have any recommendations not sure if it’s possible to have a rear view camera to ?

Thanks in advance

Try these, not just for this enquiry but anything...

Use SEARCH on the top RHS of the main page

And,/or on same page, go to MEMBERS FACTSHEETS. Wander through there there's a whole encyclopedia in there.

Re rear cams, go to members FACTSHEETS, find Executive, a new project, open that and find the part re my rear view cameras. Know different motorhome but same issues

Hope this helps up!

If you're planning on crossing the channel, make sure it's easily removable as they are illegal in some countries.

Particularly Portugal, Austria and Luxembourg.
In many others their use is either very restricted or, for example, cannot be used as evidence

Are you sure dashcams are illegal, I thought it only applied to satnavs with speed camera alerts?

Certainly in Luxembourg Richard 
Google dashcams in EU, there's a good RAC page on there

Can only speak for Austria, we were involved in a minor traffic incident and the police arrived, I pointed out we had it all on dashcam and he even thanked me. Technically they are illegal but I doubt you would ever get fined for having one, think it depends on what you are using it for and road safety seems acceptable.

Very strange, no mention of dashcams on Gov website scratch head

Just as well we only went to France, I did the headlight deflectors, but didn't bother changing the EU on the number plate or sticking UK on the van, just the usual breakdown and health ins.

Planning our next trip already smile!
