RoadHawk may be one of the best stuffs out there and in the UK some of the car owners I have met recommend this. What about the features, reliability and most important of all how conformtable can I feel having them in place. Read some article at blog about its GPS vulnerabilities and price comparisons with other cameras.

I have an RH1 in each of my 4 cars. I understand the resolution and screen glare has been reduced in the new model.The resolution does change from 5 frames per second to 25 frames per second in the event of an incident, this includes swerving or braking hard etc. The quality is then much enhanced, there is alos an emergency button you can press that records at full speed if you witness an incident occuring !

However I have had a sucessfull prosecution against someone with the use of the camera and the insurance company had no problems with it and welcomed the footage. You cant be too careful these days as insurance companies are only too keen to take a 50/50 hit which inturn effects your premium and no claims( if not protected)

Recently on another forum there was a driver who had a camera installed and the car in front at a set of lights inadvertantley selected reverse and drove backwards into the 2nd driver. The front driver then tried turning the accident around and claimed he had been driven into.The front driver signed an afadavit claiming the 2nd driver had driven into him ! In court the 2nd driver produced the video eveidence and the front driver was prosecuted for contempt of court and fined £800.00 + costs. One time where the camera was worth every penny !!!!!! Without the video eveidence the 2nd driver would of had to accept the concequences !

The company I work for sells an in car camera system that mounts to the windscreen behind the mirror. It records both ahead of the vehicle and also the driver and front passenger. It has integral gps so footage is overlaid on to Google maps to show the vehicle speed and location in an event situation. The camera runs off a 12v lighter socket and can be removed from the vehicle when not in use. It also write protects recordings in the event of an accident or harsh braking/cornering (it has a g-sensor to enable this). It's not something we've sold to the general public as was aimed at businesses like taxi operators and couriers but I don't see why we couldn't see them to the public. They are priced at £299.00. If anyone wants information they are welcome to contact me on d.pearson@cyberlyne.co.uk

I think for free lift it will be depend on the beahaviour of the driver :D
