poo poo like that is scary. Nice reaction though, not the typical 'panic stop' that would have gotten you into a wreck (probably).

Should have had the audio on so we could have heard your stream of thought.

The best/worst part: my GM was directly behind me (reasonable following distance; I was doing about 30, he was about 3 car lengths back).

I mentioned to him today. He asked what I was talking about, so I showed him the video. He was busy texting his girlfriend at the time , so if I had panic stopped, I would likely have been spit roasted by two Corollas. (at least, I think the oncoming car was a Corolla)

I don't remember saying anything except "", then forgetting about it and turning the radio up.... then realizing a few blocks later "wait..... did that just happen?".


Nah, that was tonight, local MLS team had a home game. Stadium is just down the street from work...

e: maybe I should turn the mic back on..

It goes much, much quicker if you upload a low-profile mpeg 4 video at 30fps, that way it doesn't have to do any conversion.

Ok, so I bought the Aukey DR-H2 and finally had some time to get the wiring set up. Jeep/Chrysler is stupid and doesn't use a normal fuse box anymore, so I had to get a little creative. Anyway, that's all set up. However, I'm still stuck on how to mount this thing. It's going to attach to the plastic trim at the top of the windshield. Here's the complicating factor: I have to be able to easily remove it. It has to be removed before I can get through the gate at work (also in certain areas when I've got the top removed). Velcro and similar fasteners would probably be fine, but wear out pretty quickly and will collect dust which pops free and will go right into the camera when I rip it free, so those are out. My other idea was just a small sheet of lexan/ABS plastic (I've got some scrap that's big enough) to fit between the camera and the trim. Aukey provided some 3M adhesive tape, but I live in a place that spent 2 weeks below 20*F this winter and is already over 100 for probably the next two months...I'm not confident it'll hold up. I could use JB Weld or something to stick the plastic to the camera, then maybe a dual-lock fastener (similar to velcro) on top, but that will still require replacement every few weeks.

I don't care about drilling holes or whatever, I already drilled one for the wiring (it has a quick-disconnect about an inch from the camera, which is awesome). Trying to find quick disconnect fittings basically just gives me hood pins and some kind of goofy JDM rubber bands for bumpers (?).

I love how she doesn't even move her head in the slightest while he's honking. Either she is blind as a bat, or she is ignoring him for some dumb reason.

So far so good with my A118-C. Haven't checked the rear one's card yet, but I double check that the screen is at least showing realtime video every time I start the car.

Enjoy, the dumbasses I shared the road with over the last few weeks!

This quarter's No Prisoners comp of bikes eating poo poo:

There is no quality control. About half the clips are of riders going around gentle curves and just laying their bikes down, lots of speeders plowing into cars making left / U turns, and every once in a while a child gets thrown under a bus' tires I still think these are worth a watch to anyone who rides a bike, or if you want to better understand where and how a catastrophic motorcycle fuckup can happen to/on your car.

I imagine any crafty attorney would immediately question why you'd do that.

Also, the US has made being litigious such a dirty word, no one will even talk to a lawyer unless they lost a limb or something.

Seriously. I suggest you package up your collection of videos and send them to the administrators of that school. They need to blast the parents to knock that poo poo off.

The cops will come out and ticket everyone dropping their kids off here due to the no parking signs a couple times a year, and that scares them into going through the proper carpool line, but they slowly stop after a while.

maybe go for a walk or something

People don't give a gently caress any more. Do you know how many people will sit there and watch videos on their phone in our break room with no loving headphones? What the gently caress is wrong with you? I need to hunt down something super annoying to crank up when they do it instead of just leaving the room.

STR posted:

I'm not sure what state this happened in, but the flashing yellow turn signal had me thinking Texas. I'm not sure what other states do that, though.

TotalLossBrain posted:

Whereas I turn the radio down and yell at my passengers to shut the gently caress up.

How long would a camera similar to that last on a portable charger like this one? My work truck just plain doesn't have a 12/24V socket to plug into.

Admiral Joeslop posted:

It isn't, and there's a decent chance that if I asked (again) for the port to be fixed, they'd just remove something else instead and tell me it's fixed. Thanks for the answer, though.

Oh, sorry if I seemed dismissive or anything, I was genuine in my response. 12h is way more than I would need so that might work!
