Windshield camera

That thing looks awesome!!

 

I found some apps that will do it with your smartphone:
Dailyroads Voyager for Android and DriveMate Rec Mini for IOS:

Ive used dailyroads voyager before. It worked well one you figure out the UI. I find it annoying though because you then have to mount your phone, plug it in (cuz constant recording will drain a battery super fast) and press the record button every time. Doesnt seem too hard, but I guarantee that nobody is going to do this for short trips like right down the street to go to the market or get gas. But those are the times when an accident is most likely. You might be consistent for a few weeks, but eventually every one of us would get lazy with it. That's why a dedicated cam is better IMO because it does everything for you 24/7 and can even record while the truck is off and parked as a surveillance camera. Well worth the money. Plus no worrying about using all your phones memory in a few hours of recording.
