what a wonderful afternoon to go for a safe and cautious Drive remember when
pulling up to an intersection behind another car leave a safe following
distance in case their vehicle accidentally rolls
backwards oh good Heavens that car
collided with me I wasn't moving at all you guys saw
that now excuse me good sir I believe your car rolled backwards down the
hilling wrong because your car ran into mine it's called a rear Ender for aing
reason get it in your head well while normally the car in the back would be at
fault in a situation such as this one which is now which is why they call that
normally right but had anyone seen this accident they would have observed your
car one no one saw this accident two it
doesn't matter because that's how this works well there's damage
to the front of my vehicle no one cares about the damage on the back of your
car well I have a dash cam you
see I have an injury you have an injury which which
which you're going to have to pay for I'm going to pay for your
injury CU you ran into my oh
man oh cuz you ran into my car I ran into your car oh can you call
my um but you do understand that no one
will believe that I ran into your car oh can you call can you call 911
unbelievable oh my heart oh
the CM Storm sf7 uses a massive 18 cm
fan to cool your gaming notebook and it adds a four port USB hub click now to
learn more all right that was fun but why does this video exist mostly as a
PSA for why aside from us all needing more footage of meteor showers in Russia
everyone should have a dash can because if you could choose who you get into car
accidents with then life would be simple but because you can't the odds that the
other individual is a complete ass hat are pretty good so for that reason back
in December I was looking for whatever gave me solid image quality on the cheap
this erance dash cam has about a billion reviews on Amazon and has all the
features I need like 1080p recording audio recording and so I figured what
the hey I'll order one and if it's great I'll let my peeps know and if it sucks
then I'll let my peeps know so here we go the tour of this product is pretty
straightforward on the side is the power button which you usually won't use since
you'll want to plug it into your car and set it to record whenever it gets power
on the front light goes in to the lens
here sound goes into the microphone here
and there's a speaker for playback then you flip it around and there's a little display to show you what sort of stuff
was captured by the lens and that also gives you a real-time preview of
whatever you're capturing power in can be handled a couple of different ways
the top USB port is on the unit that comes with a surprise L good adhesive
and can be detached from the camera once you've mounted it to the windshield it
serves as power for both the camera and the optional GPS module that lives
inside it which I didn't bother with but is available for an extra 10 bucks the
other USB port up here can power just
the camera or it can be used to pull footage off of the optional onboard
memory or in my case the 16 gig micro SD
card that holds about 3 hours of footage at 1080p definitely enough to capture
you know the moment if something crappy happens while you are behind the wheel
on the bottom we find the micro SD slot I just mentioned before as well as a
mini HDMI port that can be used to playback footage on a larger screen if
you don't want to use the one that's built in speaking of the built-in screen
the three buttons next to it are not really very well labeled and each have
at least a couple different functions for reviewing footage navigating the
menus and stopping and starting recording so um good luck with that like
sometimes you hold it down sometimes you press it yeah I don't know all right so
here's my setup uh the unit does get a little bit warm while it's in operation
but uh you know nothing nothing out of the ordinary so basically I mounted it
in my car by putting it out of the way behind my rearview mirror and then I ran
a wire down to my little Energizer inverter unit here that uh Powers up a
bunch of USB ports should you so desire and also has an AC outlet but if you
don't have one of those it does come with one of the cigarette lighter
adapters so it actually has quite a long wire on it so you shouldn't have any
difficulty doing that once it's on there you just go ahead and make sure the 135°
wide angle lens is getting all the right stuff by adjusting it a little bit up or
down and then that's basically it I mean it's funny to me that in the manual they
tell you to mount it away from dust haha not in this car and uh out of direct
sunlight and I'm just like okay it's a windshield not a sun shield and if it
was a sun shield then I better not get a dash cam because any footage of the
kinds of accidents I'd be getting into wouldn't work in my favor um but overall
conclusion wise I guess this product is pretty straightforward I haven't tried
other dash cams I'd love to hear your comments letting me know which ones are
your favorites but I don't plan to replace this one anytime soon because
the footage looks pretty good even in crummy conditions like my poorly lit
bedroom with just a weak sauce bedside lamp and while the onboard menu system
isn't perfect like at all it's actually fairly comprehensive with just about
every option I could imagine myself wanting from resolution selection to
manual or auto ISO and white balance settings to selecting whether to record
continuously over the previous footage to protect everything on the SD card and
just give an error when it's full or to just protect certain Clips like if I
just got in an accident I want to protect that clip and then keep recording over all the rest of the stuff
you can do all that stuff so aside from being a little bit difficult to navigate
especially the first time without the manual um overall if I'm if I paid what
I paid for this which I did then I'd be pretty pleased which I am so thank you

would like to take this opportunity to
dispel the myth once and for all that I drive a Lamborghini in fact this is my
car it's a 2003 Honda Civic that aside
from not having you know Wing style doors does not actually even have air
conditioning you can see that button is uh is an on this particular model it has
five discreet braks in the windshield a bashed in front left side that actually
leaks water so I have to have newspaper
on the floor of my car to soak up the water as it comes in and uh that's
that's all just aside from it just being like generally pretty horrible so there
you go guys Barnacles and Jay's two
cents have been spreading rumors and lies about the car that I drive
and this is in fact this is in fact it I do I do not drive or own a Lamborghini
unfortunately so there now we've put that to rest once and for
all I'll show you an injury
no capture that on your dash can
