Pretty poor reviews for the Maplin system - especially as it seriously effects GPS systems, and reliability appears to be questionable.

I'll look at the one I have, it uses an sd card so just plugs into most card readers and continuously records on a 60 minute cycle I think from memory,this means you never miss anything, the type that come on after a bang or sharp braking dont often catch the cause as by the time you brake what caused it has already happened etc, the continuous ones catch everything and records in HD, and I think was less than £80

What is it? A black box-type video recorder that creates a record of your journey, which can then be used as evidence in the event of an accident, or even as a track-day memento.

How does it work? The Witness Driving app creates a video record of your car journey viewed through the windscreen. It uses a rolling loop to record video in segments, which means you never run out of memory. The vehicle's speed and location are also displayed on the screen, using an unobtrusive overlay. If the app detects a heavy impact, it will stop recording to ensure the impact video is preserved if you're unable to manually save it. There's also a section to record photos and witness details from the scene of an accident.
