BEWARE: Car Video Recorder

[Gusruh]

Hi members,

 

I need your view and advise on car video recorder. I understand that no video recording allow at the immigration checkpoint and Jurong Island. I know of someone who was stopped at checkpoint because he was having the car video recorder and it is recording. He was brought to office with the device and recording was deleted. The premises clearly state that no photography and video recording allowed. I think they will step up new rules on such device soon if too many cars having such a device.

 

I am using one too but so far have not been stopped before at our checkpoint or Johore side. My recorder is nicely fitted and it is quite cumbersome to take it down whenever I go in. But again it will be more inconvenience for me and my family having to wait if I was caught recording at checkpoint. So, members with such device do take note that you may be stop at checkpoint for having such device.

Take out the SD card and handed over to them, tell them no card inside and will collect the card upon return. Like that, no need to dismantle DVD.

 

after pass through checkpoints, take another SD card and slot it in ...

I turn it off when approaching the immigration complex. Turn it back on when I leave it.

Unfortunately, asking most of our government departments and civil service to use their common sense seldom works. Like last time I had fog lights fitted for the aesthetics but still faced problems even when I pulled out the loose wires and showed that they are not connected to anything.

Once they see the device, they may stop you whether you recording or not. The only way for them to know whether the device is recording is to stop you and bring the card to their office and go through their computer.

Agree with you, law is hard to fight with common sense.

Install recorder that is easily removable when needed.

I always remove the cam when nearing the checkpoint becos I had heard of people kena caught and had to be brought to a room to be interviewed for hours!

 

However sometimes I do forget to remove it, and just drive thru.... luckily never got stopped!

Most cam clipped to the suction cap can be removed easily. If can't just remove the whole cap lor.

 

Those smaller cams like Blackvue can also be removed but more tedious a bit only.

How about army camps?

[Newdrive]

avoid these places? haha

I don't think they will allow you to take out the memory card only or put a sticker to cover it as you can still put another one in and start recording again. You need a camera that can easy take out and put back la.
