Had a Dash Cam for two years now, got it hard wired in yesterday, will see if this thread attracts folks to post some of their drives, see what I can do when the Micro SD Reader arrives.
I don't have a dash cam, Spitty, but I do have a dash that looks remarkably similar to yours.
We have a couple of Mobius dashcams, front and back. We've had them for a few years now and they both still work perfectly.
They are small and inconspicuous, but don't include a screen. No problem, though, as I just slide it out of the mount and plug it into my laptop using a USB cable.
The definition is really good, both day and night.
I have a dash cam with a rear camera, mines WiFi so I can download footage to my phone, I could view it through the cloud but I’m not paying a subscription, incidentally, if you format the card every six weeks or so this can extend the life of the sd card, obviously save any footage that’s important...

Very professional Bruce, I loved the classical music and was it was interesting to see the speed creep up as the road surface got better at the end. The John Egan track looks great for running, but I bet the temperature was quite high judging by the terrain. just one question though....What's a 'Dog Fence'?
I thought that train was going to be something special when I noticed the four power units at the front. I noticed in the first video you were using a 'Garmin' but on the second it was a 'Transcend'....Any particular reason? My dashcam is a Transcend and seems to do the job okay, although it doesn't record the speed. I also hard wired in into the car, and it comes on with the ignition.
The dog fence was a fence that stretched something like 6000km and was built in the 1880s. It was the longest man made structure. Since it was built it has fallen into disrepair or incorporated into farm fencing as this section was. The idea was to stop the terrible losses of sheep from dingo attack. In the end they gave up on sheep in Qld and went to cattle instead so the fence was no longer needed.
I have come across it in SA, Qld and NT. WA had the rabbit proof fence!
This was an attempt to find the fence near Coober Pedy but I had to turn back because the road was too boggy after heavy rain.
Transcend was my first dash cam but I upgraded to a Garmin just over a year ago it records the GPS location and I have an app that can plot your route on Google maps from the video if you wish (never bothered).
The train was carrying mostly rolls of steel from Port Kembla BHP steelworks and was filmed near Junee.
The Track was in south west Queensland and it was winter (May) so very pleasant temperature but no water of course. Of course it has been replaced by a bitumen road but it was an interesting drive of how things used to be - very easy to get lost.
Thanks Bruce....
Is Coober Pedy where they mine Opal? I've been watching 'Outback Opal Hunters' on TV. I think I prefer 'Aussie Gold Hunters' not as valuable but more fun and you don't need to go underground.
I guessed it was a mistake with the SD card Bruce, at least, I've never seen one that big.
