LTA Approved means you can kiss your hard earned money good bye if you want to protect your self from fradulant claims and buy these overly priced cameras , If such videos were illegal or not vaild the taxi drivers who posted both Farrai and lexsus accident videos would be fined & dinned in cages for weeks by now so there is the reality of "LTA Approved" its just words to legalised ripping off taxi drivers by taxi companies

Poolman SG

Actually ct2220 trying to emphasis camera or emphasis Comfort make more money , TC earn less ?

Poolman SG

or is he trying to suan Comfort for selling more expensive to their drivers who earn more ? LOL .

OptimalTrans SG

so is it a must to purchase their LTA approve model?

mine non LTA approve model can use as evident when accident occur?

or LTA is a new super brand which i'm too "suan ku" to notice?

komade SG

Bro its all crap , you can use your camera for "recording outside the front windscreen" and do not violate the privicy of the passenger inside then its fine i guess as for example both taxi drivers who posted accident videos were using "non LTA Approved" cameras and no one dared reject their evidence so far , just one word of advice install your camera in such a way that it doesnt obstruct your view in anyway. but again dont quote me on this as generally traffic laws are like wax nose can turn anywere best suited.

So the TC camera and CDG camera same specs?

I thought last time TC says will install camera for their taxis? Now become selling to hirer at a discount?

哎哟哟，怎么搞的！俺就知道俺的Broken English有问题，怎么会想到竟然如此的烂！

俺这帖子的目的是在说，俺或许应该考虑加入CDG。
因为同样是行车记录器，俺在中国买的只需S$10.00
CDG买给他们的德士师父的而又经LTA批准的，需要S$375.00
TC买给我们这些阿忠德士师父的（经LTA批准的），需要S$160.50

俺这一辈子都在搞市场行销，根据市场行销的定位标价黄金守则！
一样是鸡饭，五星级酒店的要买$40大元，小贩中心的只能买$4元。

CDG敢买S$375.00，因为他们的德士师父肯定负担起！
TC有先见之明，所以虽然是新加坡德士行业的老二，
但TC知道它的德士师父只有本事付S$160.50。

为什么 Bo Call Liao 兄弟在加入鸿门几年后会重回狼门！
一定有什么不可告人的商业秘密！

嘿！嘿！嘿！没想到一个小小的行车记录器的市场行销的定位标价就泄底了。

俺真的要好好考虑是否有加入狼门！！！

without LTA aprroval means any dispute which go to court you cannot use it as evidence but for insurance they do accept when reporting

knn such camera with similar function only cos $100plus only

CDG or the vendor make more than 100% profit

just like the Npark tender so high

Angwk7118 SG

early this year i spoke to lta officer (for taxi) about camera, somehow in a way should there be any complain ( non-accident) from pax, on another side they will still accept it if td able to prove innocent by showing

bowah SG

the funny part is, still got cabby bought it.

Ok, let get down to laws,

Approval meaning license to install and operate. It is the hardware that was approved, the software, that is the video is still legal under accident claim or investigation no matter what camera or hp camera you use.

What it mean is that, that is no guarantee if that non approved camera causes electric shock or harm to both driver and passenger. Sound stupid, but that is the system of Singapore, everything must be approved, from foods to any electronic and electrical product, if not, alot of those inspecting peoples will lose their jobs. As such, anything that go thru singapore test Centre or food inspection, the price will be mark up to offset the inspection cost. Like this lor

The New Paper

Three cab firms get LTA nod for in-car cameras

By Rennie Whang

THREE of the seven taxi companies here have obtained approval to install cameras inside their taxis, aLand Transport Authority (LTA) spokesman told The New Paper on Wednesday.

They are Comfort, CityCab and TransCab.

At least one more company, Prime Taxi, is going through the application process.

The LTA spokesman said that applying companies need to provide the objective for installing the equipment, its technical specifications and mounting mechanism, as well as the implementation schedule for installing the equipment.

She said: "LTA will take into account the information submitted by the taxi company and consider factors such as the safe mounting of the equipment, and whether it will unduly affect the safety, comfort and privacy of passengers."

Prime Taxi general manager Eric Ang said yesterday that his company was still sourcing for the right product and vendor. He said: "In-car cameras in all our taxis will happen, but not immediately."

Both SMRT and Prime Taxi said information on costs - including how much a driver would have to foot - would come at a later date.

In-car cameras would benefit taxi drivers and their passengers as it would expedite accident claims, defence lawyer Gloria James said. It would also come in handy if, say, a passenger sues the cabby in an accident.

Such insurance claims can be hefty.

In 2003, a lawyer was awarded $300,000 compensation when a taxi slammed into the rear of a taxi he had been riding in, resulting in whiplash.

Said Ms James: "In an accident, the passenger sues the driver even if the taxi has been hit from behind.

"The taxi driver then has to bring in the driver of the other car as a co-defendant. In-car camera footage would prove the taxi driver's case and help transfer liability."
