The forum or the site itself? Both are completely separated
Anyway, better to discuss that on http://imcdb.opencommunity.be/index.ks?page=forum_topic&id=7697&index=0 for example

Try it with A-Rival Car Cam. The price is okay for the quality and night videos are pretty good. Filming against light is always hard, i think you will have a hard time to find one that has absolutely no problem with it. But still i believe you have room for improvement.
Do you have a Youtube channel for your Dashcam videos?

I bought it for 50$ (or something like that) on dx.com several years ago, so they most likely have well improved since then - any model will probably give better results.
I still haven't posted "funny" videos of what I recorded (e.g. cars passing at red light); the only one I posted was the road from home to (previous) work place in summer (i.e. low traffic) 2012:

That quality is really terrible. I couldn't tell at first view if the car that cuts you at 1:55 is a driving school, a taxi or a police. It was a police if i see that right. That would explain why you did not use the horn. This would already go into my compilation.
But yes, you need a better camera.
EDIT: And btw, awesome cat videos.

At 1:55 it is a police car indeed (color scheme of Belgian police)
And indeed I wouldn't honk them
The camera quality was good at the time I got it (especially for that price), it had the advantage of recording in h264 format, so the files aren't too big on the SD card. Now I guess all use that format, and from what I saw from a camera bought by a friend, for around the same price you get a way better quality.

Thanks for many ID's. Yeah L.A. (mainly the poor parts) is loaded with old cars. You can see why car culture is and has been so big here.
1. 1947 Buick Special Four-Door Sedan model 41.
2. 1965 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe.
24. 1963 Plymouth Valiant Convertible.
25. 1956 Chevrolet towing a 1940 Cadillac Sixty Two Sedan for five passengers.
27. 1964 Chevrolet Bel Air 4-Door Sedan.
28. 1969 Oldsmobile, likley a Cutlass S Holiday Coupe.
29. 1964 Chevrolet 4-Door Sedan, I think I can see holes for Impala side trim.
31. 1936 Nash

Man, you sure know your oldies. Pre-1958 cars are all a mystery to me.

In reply to Reg1992 long post:
11. 1965-67 Ford Econoline Super Van, has the extended length
16. with the pointy nose, it's actually a Dart Sport coupe, the Duster twin
17. Buick Estate wagon rather than Ford
20. looks like a brown Chevelle sedan hiding behind the fence
23. 1972 Honda Z600 coupe rather than the N600 sedan
Reply to Baube:
8. It was the same in the US, only the wagon in 1990

Some impressions from my US road trip in July:
Not just any exit - THE exit! (At the Sears/Willis Tower)
Impressions of Elk Horn, Iowa:
Doritos truck with old livery. Spotted in Indiana:
'67 Barracuda in Northern California. Mr. Sandworth, the chemistry and science teacher from one of my unpublished novels, drives one just like this:
'67 Fleetwood, obviously:
Now THIS is an interesting vehicle! Spotted after going to a Weird Al Yankovic concert at the Hollywood Bowl, my mom immediately assumed it must have been Al's car, but it wasn't. It's a 1986-87 Armaretta, built by the Lerini Coach Corp. of Reseda, CA. I recognized the Ford Granada headlights, and assumed it was based off a Seville.
Woman next to me: "Don't you mean Deville?"
Me: No, Seville.
A specific kind of fun is apparently advised to start here...
Tourist in Venice...
Cash accepted...
What's more, this was at Ingo's Diner in LA...
I also spotted at least two campers with German plates in Yellowstone, as well as a Blazer with a Sonora (Mexico) plate in LA.

Dashcam pics from the past month.
June 30 to July 4 I took a trip up to Pittsburgh.
Subaru Impreza pulled over on the shoulder of the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Not very visible here, but the front end was badly smashed and there was no obvious cause in sight - no other cars, no roadkill, etc. I thought to myself, 'That's odd.'
15 seconds and 1/3 mile later: 'Oh. Yeah, that'd do it.'
Thankfully he didn't hit this one (1980-1984 Buick Electra):
International road-rail dump truck (I thought it was pretty neat):
Huge Hitachi mining excavator as part of a project rearranging a mountainside (I'm not sure if they're widening the highway or completely rerouting it). I have views from the trip there and the trip home:
What is Uber up to here?
Lincoln MKZ with an identity crisis:
(If you can't make it out, the license plate reads '560 SEL'. Also, that Suburban in front of me was driving really aggressively.)
Norfolk Southern #9857 (2004 GE Dash 9-44CW) and Norfolk Southern #9510 (2000 GE Dash 9-44CW):
Back home in Virginia...
1956 Chevrolet Two-Ten:
McLaren 570S in the office parking garage:

Two hour ago, at my Autobahn-exit
The "corruption-exit", as I call it:
http://www.dorstenerzeitung.de/staedte/dorsten/Wettbewerb-Schueler-untersuchten-den-Huerland-Ausfahrt-Mythos;art914,1572238
This exit was exclusively built for a politician of the Helmut Kohl-government, hidden on a rest-are of the A31
The is not even a smell of corruption about the, the local officials are saying - noone believes that.
Popular back then, but extinct nowadays. Spotted one hour ago, when I purchased the last eight bottles of our favourite red wine.
Original plates in the original plate holders (with the pre 1.7.1993 fur-digit postcode)
The dealer still exists: http://www.autohaus-zimmer.com/
