Dash Camera?

So like, does anyone have a dash camera setup? Needs to be pretty decent. I want to protect myself in case of assholes who run red lights or insurance scammers.

Needs to have good visibility and at least 30 FPS to get a nice fluid video. Has to be able to see lights clearly.

Ideas?

 

somewhat like this?:

 

Nice, what did you use?

 

GOPRO HD...<-click for link

I use em all the time for snowboarding and dirtbiking...you can get suction cup attachments to put on the exterior/windows of any vehicle...

Yes, but want it at the dash so I can get a wider viewing angle. Would like it to be small and compact. Have the option to run off cig lighter or batteries would be great.

Go with GoPro! PM Me for 5,987,405 reasons

 

yup , gopro

 

30fps or 60!

 

Go Pro is a good unit. I'm not sure how you would do it but the best would be a continuos loop recording. Then if there's an incident you just press stop.

 

Wow, that commute is worse than mine. Thanks!

 

I would worry about "go pro" type thing. You'd probably have to be unlucky, but round here, if you don't take it out of your car, there's a better than live-with-able chance of it breaking your window to get out of your car and run away.

Just being the devils advocate, but I just returned from dropping a friend off at the glass shop to pick up his FJ after his GPS leapt through the window to freedom the other day.

 

I can't believe I watched a video of someones commute.....

Good quality though

 

I would say go pro as well. They are coming out with a new skeleton fram for it so you will be able to charge it while it is in the case
