Dash cam reviews - update

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

I went to JB Hi Fi and got the dash cam and micro sim and it works brilliantly. The display screen shows my actual speed is averaging 5km slower than my Speedo, which is perfect for me. And the settings on it automatically record constantly and save events, for the amount of time I choose. The cable is long enough to go around the edge of my large windscreen, down the door from, under the large dash, behind the glove box and across to the cigaret port. I need to get a few more cable anchors though. It only came with 4.

I’ve seen so much bad driving behaviour, lately, that I’m looking at getting a dash cam.
Can anyone give me a recommendation or review?

I’ve checked a few online reviews, within my price range, and Navman seems to have everything I need.

I attached a link to the one I’m thinking of getting, while it’s on special.

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.

‘Tis the season to not get scammed ...

The Team from New Zealand Police

As Christmas gift shopping moves increasingly online, scammers are ramping up their activity across the country.

Dunedin’s Investigation Support Unit is seeing more and more people fall victim to scams and other fraudulent activity, particularly on Facebook Marketplace.

There are a few ways to avoid the scams and keep yourself safe doing online trades this holiday season, says Southern District Service Delivery Manager Senior Sergeant Dalton.
🔒 “A good first step when looking to purchase something on Marketplace is to check when the seller’s Facebook profile was created. If it’s very recent, there is a higher risk that they have just created this account for a one-off fake item.”
🔒 Another important step is to make sure the seller’s profile name and bank account name match up. “We’re seeing a lot of scammers claiming their bank account name is different because it belongs to their partner or family member - that’s a huge red flag."
🔒 “When you’re selling, never trust a screenshot anyone sends you showing that payment has been made. Check your own bank account to make sure a payment has gone through."
🔒 “Quite frankly, it’s best for all parties to agree to pay, or be paid, for items in cash and in-person. Ideally in a public place with CCTV coverage."
🔒 "If you’re buying a car, check Carjam.co.nz to see if it’s stolen or if there’s money owed on it.”

A reminder: Suspicious activity can be reported on 105
