Buying a dashcam for pal in Ireland. Above one, a Philips, looks good.
Anyone any experience of this one or similar for about £80-ish?

No experience of this brand - but one comment ...
... remember that the Police can seize a dashcam in the event of an accident, and use the GPS info as evidence of vehicle speed - not just at the point of the accident, but throughout all other recordings - possibly then using that as evidence of 'driving style'.
I'm a cautious driver, but (like most people) occasionally 'push the envelope' a bit in safe conditions - so I'd never have a dashcam with GPS fitted/enabled in case it was misused against me.

One of the best ways to check out the quality of a dash cam is to look on Youtube for some actual recordings.
