Good thing I don't take my car to mechanics. Problem solved.

So here's some fun dash cam footage.
Quick info. We have a bunch of cats, we let one in particular in the garage at times to hang out. Usually I don't open the garage door when she's in there so she doesn't skurry away. A dog we were pet sitting had a red eye from rough housing with our Frenchie, so I decided to take her to my gf at the Vet ER clinic where she was working. Open the garage door, put dog in truck, call gf. Didn't realize my cat was in the garage.
Hit the garage clicker a couple of times and it doesn't close the door, so I'm like whatevs. Hit it again, gf picks up phone, dog is jumping all over me, I decide to back up and hit the clicker closer to the garage since all 3 of our clickers seem to have trouble triggering the door.

Back up, and my cat was trying to get her ass back in. No idea why the laser didn't trip. Her big ass head should of tripped it and made it come back up.

Couple of vids from my A119S in the Z06. Seems to be pretty clean. This one records in 1440p. Pretty good especially for the price. Glad I didn't spend $390 on the Blackvue. Most cams have trouble getting license plate numbers at speed. This one seems to be pretty decent at it.

Here's one during the day

Here's some night footage. Looks like it kind of struggles a bit for detail with plates with glare and multiple light sources. Not horrible though.

Bumping this thread.

I just picked up Anker's newest dashcam called the ROAV. It's $100.00, it has 1080p @ 30fps or 720p @ 60fps or 30fps.

It is very subtle when mounted. It has motion sensors (off, low, med, high) and parking sensors, which enable quick 30-second recording using its built-in battery when the car is off. When the car is on you are expected to run it through the power socket (via USB). You can run the wire through the headliner and hide it fairly well. So far, I am :fuckyeah: on the purchase.

Quick recording today, ignore the :mahtroy: music.
