Hi all, we just moved to a new town that gets hammered in the winter. I would like to put a dash cam in my wifes car in case something happens on the icy roads.
I've kind of been looking around online and on ebay, there are so many options it's a bit overwhelming. Here are my basic requirements.
1. It needs to turn on and start recording when the car is turned on. If my wife has to start the record action she will never use it.
2. It needs to be cheap as possible (best bang for buck.) Money is a bit tight right now so looking in the <$100 range
3. Auto-recycle feature so memory card doesn't have to be cleared manualy. Only want the camera to catch incidents, dont need 300hrs of driving around town.
4. Doesnt need an intigrated LCD but ok if it does have
5. Expandable SD card slot
6. 720P is fine as long as image quality is good. I film all my gopro footage in 720 and it's more then adaquate and eaier to edit.
7. Wide angle is OK as long as it's not too drastic.
8. Mic to capture audio (such as witness statement at scene.) "He / she ran that stop sign, etc."
That's it. Absolutely most important is it turns on when the car is started and auto-records and auto-recycles.
Thanks fella's!
