Hi Guys,

Been thinking about one for a while but not willing to pay a fortune.
Did plenty of googling and came up with this:-


Having tried one for a few days they are definitely worth the money, at the price build quality is what you'd expect but the video is clear enough to identify people and number plates.
Plus you can leave it in the car and not worry about some **** nicking it.

If you spend a little more money this is a great buy, it's the same camera as sold by Nextbase but with a different name on it!

I can vouch for this as I bought a Nextbase 212 for £69 then I saw the Voyager and bought one to compare and they are identical apart from the name!
The Nextbase went back to Argos! Wink

Lidl have one at the moment for £35, would have bought one but they were not in stock.
Happy with mine for now, plus with 2 cameras you have rear cover too.

Hi Andy,
Looks similar to one I was going to take a punt on but after watching vids it'd produced on youtube I was put off by quality of recordings as couldn't see the number plates clearly & poor night vision etc. Would you mind uploading a vid from yours? I'm still looking for a good cheapy for the cars.
Few years back I got a rear view mirror camera package with front & rear cam split screen and it's pretty good although a pain to install on the truck and needed to source longer leads. Main problem I have with it is the interference it causes to the radio signal when plugged in via lighter socket. From what I've figured out it's due to the usb lighter socket adapter plug. Some who've hard wired their dash cams also report problems though...

Did you get 2 sd cards included in he deal too? Looks lke some buyers did, reading reviews on the page you linked. Some rough reviews on that page. Often there are reviews for products that aren't the same as the one listed turning up on the ebay reviews though, so unreliable.

Didn't get any sd cards but wasn't expecting any, guess the price and offers have changed over time

As promised. This is the poorest quality video but still 700mb+.
Once card is full earliest files are overwritten, unless you press the button to lock them.

Has anyone tried this one from ebay?  It is supposed to be both a PVR and a rear view camera.

Old 4.3" was good enough. This looks better but pay triple that and you get all singing dancing. For that price though you can't go wrong. Only bad point is the BMW look vent but you won't notice once it's fitted.
What's PVR? Per Vaginal / Rectal?

Touch screen = finger marks
+ you may need an extra long cable or extension for the rear camera on an LT depending on your set up. You can get these for about a fiver from china on fleabay and you'll need to know number of pins on connector to get the correct one.
