  • Is there a dashcam out there that can send footage (or a low res cached version) to your phone via app or similar? A system where you press a button on the camera unit and it saves the previous 30/ 60 seconds and sends it to an app on your phone? I know it would require a wifi/ data connection between the dashcam and phone but it would be good if it could store marked clips on the unit itself until you connect to your phone via hotspot or whatever, then pings the marked clips across.

    Seeing some stuff about a crowd called Nexar that could offer something like this but seeing mixed reviews on the actual products.

    I like to review minor infractions when they happen around me on the road but taking out the micro SD card from the Nextwave I have is a fiddly pain and then the whole process of mounting the SD card on a computer etc. so I end up not being arsed.

    Has anyone else had the sticky pad that affixes the dashcam mount to the windscreen fail over the summer due to the higher temperatures? Have had mine fall down quite a bit with the car parked in the drive and sometimes it sets the alarm off. So I've taken to taking the camera unit off the mount when I park up. Is it a case of replacing it with equvalent 3M sticky pads?

  • The answer to both is Garmin. Their Drive app let's you view and store camera files and view a live feed from their dashcam on your phone via a WiFi type connection. Their sticky pad is good, I drive all day in London's famous London and my first sticky pad was good for longer than I kept the van.
