and last but not least another one i have but am not too fond of. THe GoPRO!

review has it right about the tricky lcd menu screen but doesnt mention that every other SD card has compatibility issues and how easy it is to break the supplied mounts..ordered a double suction cup unit with the drift camera above as the gopro single suction jobbie keeps flying off the car..

question, have we found if it is illegal to put a camera in your car to record things like the cops pulling us over without letting them know?, plus, i'm thinking about just getting one so i can put it in the car for things like track days and drag strips

as long as your in the pblic domain and not stalking anyone theres nothing to stop you from filming whoever the hell you want.

just dont test it out at the local kiddies pool or a bikie gang meet..could have interesting consequences for your health..

as for cops, meh its up to them if they get mad but they are being recorded by their own systems so cant imagine why they would be bothered by you doubling up..

At present, there are no laws governing recording of data in a public place (a roadway, by definition, is a public place).

The consensus seems to be that whatever you do in public, you should be willing to have recorded.

There are laws that prevent image/audio recording where people have a reasonable expectation of privacy (e.g. your own home).

The police inform you because things you say/do might be used in evidence, and there is the requirement that you are informed (basically because they have an unfair advantage).

The reason that call centres inform is due to the Telecommunications Act 1997 - you are using a carrier service, and it's unlawful to record something carried by such a service without

either a warrant, or informing the parties that they are being recorded.

Outcome: As of now (2011); by law, you don't need to inform a police officer (or anyone else) that they're being recorded by your camera/phone/incar surveillance

if you get pulled over and are recording them from your car. The police officers have no reasonable expectation of privacy when they are interacting with you.

Regards,

SW

Just be aware that defamation laws still apply even if it's not illegal. Poorly thought out displays of video can still have severe consequences.

I would love to have an onboard camera too however, and with motion detecting for when the car is parked. Some years back my new car (2nd hand but first day I had owned it) got keyed in the car park as I was doing the change of ownership thing. I came outside and nearly died. Even though the car was insured earlier that day I just couldn't bring myself to go back to the insurance and say it had been keyed that afternoon. Video proof would have given me the confidence to go back and see the insurance company.

As of 2006 truth became a complete defence:

So it would be very hard for someone to win a defamation case based on the content of an unedited video.

you can record and you don't need permission because you are in a public place. just like how the police can record you without permission.

however, is it a good idea? well depends on the situation. IMO, I would only bother if I was 100% sure, the police were doing something illegal.

Otherwise you will just create more problems for yourself.

I can just imagine the words " follow me to the nearest EPA van"

As stated, all HWP cars in NSW have video anyway. The thing to remember is your video camera in your car also records evidence of any offences you commit and in some situations may be siezed as evidence against you.

Here's some options to consider. HD is important as it allows for number plate recognition etc. GPS is also important to establish Date, Time, Location, speed etc

here's the original thread FFS

kinda want a new gopro but i had so many issues with the my first gen model im a bit scared of them.

TV stations can afford to buy hundreds of them and just toss the ones that start having compatability issues with SD cards or ceasing to function after they fly off your car due to the crappy mounting equipment supplied with them

bought a drift innovation camera a while back

been good times since.

wish i could afford the contour thingy with the GPS but im sure prices will drop eventually

      This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.

      Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
