Dash cam anyone?

I bought a cheap one over a year ago. Well last month I’m on a narrow country road and a guy in a 3/4 ton pickup with his mirrors extended hit my pickup mirror and broke his glass and my chrome mirror cover. Well he comes up and said “You hit me, I said nope you hit me”, when He looked and saw that I had a dash cam he knew he was guilty. It showed that he had about 18” between his tire and the edge of the asphalt. I bought a much better cam the next day.

Only real caveat you have to deal with is the sd-cards. If you live down South, try to get a brand that offers resilient cards that withstand higher than normal temperatures.

I remembered to install my new Rove camera, and MOST interesting to me, they have a card in box severely warning against purchase of SD cards off eBay and similar Internet sites, as (they write) the packaging and cards look identical to the real McKoy, but the guts inside are totally different! Here's a scan of this card -- it may be the integrity of the card, rather than environmental parameters?

if I'm going to get one of these things I think one with a camera for front and rear window that are permanently or semi permanent mounted would be real good. my nephew got me into this GoPro thing and a case full of mounting accessories and those suction cups are not very good at all.

What about attaching Velcro on the windshield and the other half on the suction cup? That way it could be unplugged and hidden when not in use. YMMV
