How have you got on with your Road Hawk system ? I think you bought one after the infamous Monaro You tube footage.

Have you been impressed with it, is it easy to use/manage ?

Just thinking of getting one but there seems to be a few others on the market now.

them bastards banned me! I am no longer allowed in there!

The system is great, dropped 100 quid soon as I bought it thanks to everyone else buying them but yes very good. Its on all the time, as it doesnt take up any space. Qualty is ok but if you record in 24fps you have to drop resolution to 600x480 and even if parked 2cm from teh car in front you can find it hard to make out the number plate. But its a great tool for backing up your side of events. Would heartily recommend it unless you speed everywhere!!

The other day I hit a 2foot wide pothole and now trying to use the video to aide in a claim for a new tyre

I thought they had come down a bit in price since I last looked.

Does it automatically turns itself on withthe ignition them or is it just switched on by movement ?

ciggy lighter but the cable is about 5m long. I need to route it to tidy up but it works a treat

you need to update the sensitiviy. Via the roadhawk program you can change the settings, by default if you fart it goes off but change settings and its ok
