I recently bought two cams, one for each car, and had to return both.
I got the $65 DVR 027 720p, which is highly rated in the DashCamTalk review section, and I was careful to buy it from the recommended Ebay vendor.
Unfortunately, it didn't work very well. The video quality alternated between clear and blurry, every couple of seconds. I tried a couple of different memory cards and settings, emailed back and forth with the vendor, but could not get it to work.
I finally returned it. To be fair, they refunded me promptly and also paid my shipping costs.
The other one was a $29.99 "120° 720P Car Dash 2" TFT HD DVR Single Camera Cam Recorder IR Night Vision", also on Ebay. It seemed to get some good reviews. But unfortunately, this one also had horrible video, blurry and missing some colors (all blue no red). These people also refunded the cost plus shipping.
I just don't understand how these vendors can make a profit when the quality control is this bad. Anyway, I'm at a loss for what camera to get. I am getting the idea that you need to spend upwards of $100 to get something decent, better yet $200, and these inexpensive cams are just a random kind of lottery; if you're lucky you get one that works.
