Re: Let's talk dashcams
Guys need a bit of help please...looking to buy a Nextbase 312GW dashcam ( this one ) http://www.halfords.ie/webapp/wcs/store ... reId=11101 but I have a question before I do so,I don't have a laptop ( have an iPad but there's no SD slots on this ) but I'm wondering if I can watch the footage from the cam on my PS3 which has the following card slots...
As much as I like halfords I knew when a girl approached me to offer " assistance " she may aswell have been looking up a camels arse once I asked her about cards and the PS3
I need to be sure before purchasing because I'm going to hardwire it....thanks guys

Re: Let's talk dashcams
Micro SD's can be used in standard SD card slots with the use of a card adapter (normally supplied with the Micro SD - it's just a full sized SD card which the smaller Micro one slides into).
Whilst the card may fit in the PS3 though, I would confirm whether the format that the camera records in is supported by the PS3's software.
Pleasantly surprised to see an original 60GB PS3 still working btw Mine gave up the ghost years ago!

Re: Let's talk dashcams
You can get an SD card reader for the iPad - http://www.apple.com/uk/shop/product/MJ ... 80c8bffebd
Best to look at it the other way around. See what format the files on the dashcam are and then check if compatible with the PS3 or iPad.
Edit: As the PS is quite old it might not read a large capacity SD card - don't think it will handle a 64Gb, 32 maybe.

Re: Let's talk dashcams
Ian.. these files will playback through the PS3..
Some dashcams play files in recorded AVI, but most .MOV .. you can change the file format but you need a PC You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Re: Let's talk dashcams
Wow I didn't know about the Apple SD reader,so basically I put the card from the dashcam in to it and hook it up to the pad and I'm good to go? If that's the case I'll get one ASAP thanks juve
Thanks For that John,literally just saw your post after I posted a reply

Re: Let's talk dashcams
It's not the card Ian.. it needs to be able to read and play the format file ie.. .mov -
JUVE that statement is true.. but WHAT criteria does the iPad need to meet .. that is the question!You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Re: Let's talk dashcams
No not the card Ian, that's just the micro SD and adapter.. the file format for the iPad to READ is what you need to be asking m8 !!! - Will it read and play .mov files

Re: Let's talk dashcams

h264 and mpeg4 are not the file types but the video coding formats. So the ipad can play a .mov file as long as the video is h264 encoded and.....(see above criteria)

Re: Let's talk dashcams
That's the point I don't know whether the Nextbase is capable.. if not the file can be converted potentially, if you have the right equipment.

Re: Let's talk dashcams
LOL...you kept asking about the iPad.
Looking at the tech spec it might work but you need to set it to a lower resolution. Than again the .mov criteria is a bit old so maybe newer ipads can read higher resolutions.
Best thing is to get an adaptor - they're not expensive and just test it whilst still at Halfords. If it doesn't work just give it back.

Re: Let's talk dashcams
I don't know what Ian has.. but as long as there is a solution he'll be fine .. Should really buy from Amazon.. if it doesn't work you can return it free of charge anyway The dashcam is H264 .mov.. so should be fine

Re: Let's talk dashcams
The next base 212, I have, has an AV out port. I'd have to dig the box out to see the lead type. The unit itself is easy to remove from a wired kit as it slides out of the docking bracket.

Re: Let's talk dashcams
The 312 has wifi, according to halfords, which will talk to the iOS app to display the footage - from what I can see on the App Store.

Re: Let's talk dashcams
Yeah it has wifi which in theory lets you view the footage via the app but I've read this is a bit hit and miss...

Re: Let's talk dashcams
I emailed Nextbase and in the reply the guy said that by using the PS3 I'll lose some features,he said the best and easiest way is to download the APP and view the footage that way but as I said previously I've read that this can be a bit iffy.....
