J'ai eu droit à un coup de pression (inconscient) de la part de la Gendarmerie aujourd'hui mdr

#Dashcam #Gendarmerie

TL;DR: Does anyone here use an old #iPhone as a permanent #Dashcam? Any thoughts or advice? Or do you know anyone who might know?

Detail:

It occured to me that an old iPhone I have (screen kinda janky, so not worth anything, but cameras are fine) could be a good dashcam. I did find a couple of dashcam apps I could try, but I’d appreciate hearing of any experiences you’ve all had with such things. Or maybe there are even dashcam app developers on here?

Considerations:

• I’m thinking of just leaving it permanently in the car. I’d love it to just act like a normal dashcam, and turn itself on when I start the car and just loop recording without any interaction, and probably turn itself off mostly when I turn the car off. Let’s assume I can run a power supply lead to it.

• I’m in #Australia; it gets HOT inside our cars in summer, especially while they are parked!

• I don’t really want or need it to do anything in CarPlay like some apps can; I intend to have my other, everyday phone doing my navigation and entertainment.

IDK, maybe I should just shell out for a proper dedicated dashcam, but OTOH cheap or free via #upCycling an old unused phone seems like it should be a better option all around.

Future idea:

• Maybe later I could even set up a second, even older phone as a rear view cam!

Reliable footage starts with reliable setup. This VIOFO short looks at clean routing, stable mounting, and why those choices matter more than people think once an incident needs proof. When everything is mounted well and powered correctly, time-stamped footage becomes faster to trust and easier to use. https://youtube.com/shorts/qo9RjmcxnyU?feature=share #CarGadgets #DashCam #DrivingTech #InsuranceRecord
