Dash Cam Info. Needed

[larryinnewyork]

Good morning all,

By this coming Summer, I want to have a Dash Cam mounted in my vehicle.

It appears no major camera company makes them.
Only unknown Companies in China & Korea.
That can make purchasing one more difficult.

AND

Question: Anyone have experience buying / using one ? ? ?

My Criteria is:
1) High Definition video quality
2) Auto Loop / Cyclic recording
3) Hard Wired
4) Good mounting system ........ suction cup =

5) Set it and forget it
6) Price - Mid range $60.00 - 100.00

Any advise will be helpful.
Thank you.

Larry

I have been thinking about an old android phone.

How about an Emerson Action Camera? Its a cheap version of a GOPRO...>$50. comes with a mount

That looks like a nice option.

I drive enough, I really should have a dash cam.

goto ebay

estore009 is one of the GOOD sellers no fakes

tons of fakes or cheapo models on ebay

THE G1W from that seller is the best camera in your price range.

the 207GS is good too if you like the shape of that one better.

MAKE SURE you buy from that seller.

you have at least a 50% chance of getting a counterfeit cheapo model with different chips in it if you randomly purchase.

Amazon.com is horrible with counterfeits right now also.

Estore009 on ebay is the real deal.
