Read that the young man driving had installed the system as he had been a victim of a biased and inept legal system in a previous accident. Thinking of doing the same and looking for easy to install recommendations that are not a lot of headache to maintain.

There are quite a few in dash cameras on sale on ebay. The most basic one, which does 1280x960 @30fps has a small angle of vision, about 80 degrees, but has a price tag that varies around $60-$70. There is a higher end model, which does 720p @ 30fps, as well as a 120 degree angle of view, for $110-$120.
I have the basic version(which seems to be similar to the one the OP's post has), example here:
I'm actually trying to sell it to get the 720p version :p_______________

Jan 22nd, 2011 02:07 PM #6I might pick up the second one. I don't understand one thing. On Canada Computer's websites, it says the first one records 720 x 480 @30fps and the second one records 640 x 480 @30fps even though the first one is less expensive? Originally Posted by everylittlecent

Jan 22nd, 2011 02:14 PM #7Just picked up the first one, with an 8GB Class 6 ADATA Micro SD card. It doesn't seem to work right.. just freezes up right after turning on. Works fine in USB mode though, lol. Originally Posted by tapanpatel88

Jan 22nd, 2011 02:20 PM #9Nope, it doesn't do anything while charging - can't switch modes or record.. can't even turn it off. Maybe it doesn't like my memory card, or is just a total POS. Originally Posted by tapanpatel88

Jan 22nd, 2011 02:22 PM #10Damn that's a waste of money then. I will pick up the second one since it can record while charging. Will post a video later on. Did yours come with a clip? and a car/comp mount? Originally Posted by Marx0r

Jan 22nd, 2011 02:26 PM #11Yep, it came with a magnetic clip, helmet clip, velcro and a basic clip (which I was just gonna clip onto the visor). I might just return it and buy this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/High-...item27b2c7bbaa Originally Posted by tapanpatel88

Jan 22nd, 2011 02:37 PM #12I don't know if I want to spend almost a 100 bucks for an in car camera. Try resetting yours and see if it works properly? I watched some youtube reviews and a few people experienced problems with memory cards. Maybe it doesn't like high class memory cards and might just have to settle with cheapo ones Originally Posted by Marx0r

Anyone worried about thieves breaking into your car to steal your in-car camera?

Jan 22nd, 2011 03:21 PM #15Good point but when you are getting out of the car, just take the detach the camera from its mount and put in your glove box or your center dash compartment if your car has one. I know some people are a bit concerned about even leaving empty (without camera/gps) mounts attached to the windshield while leaving their car in the parking lot. If that's the case then just take the mount out and store in your glove box or elsewhere. I am just going to end up buying that $25 camera from Canada Computers. Won't regret it if its stolen or lost. Originally Posted by carniver
