Hello!
I work in research on people's driving behaviors, and we are looking to get dashcams that have GPS and OBDII readings integrated as our current set-up has so many wires all over the place it's a nuisance to our participants. I think we wouldn't mind say a Bluetooth-connected OBDII, but we certainly don't want a lot of wires. (We currently have a data logger, a GPS, and a camera, all of which are powered by the cigarette lighter, so we have to have a splitter - so four pieces of equipment!)
In reviewing what I could, I found only three that have all three pieces integrated - the Coby DC 8000, WASPcam POD 9401, and Shadow GT880S. I know there's the LK series where the OBDII can be an optional item, but I want to first explore the ones with everything in one piece if possible. My issue with the three listed is there is no information on whether the OBDII data is just displayed, or if it is recorded. These instruments will be in the participants' vehicles for about 2.5 weeks, so we need something that will be able to store all that data as well; these three are all capped at 32GB, and I'm not sure if that is sufficient. We are not looking to use phone apps, either, as that comes into big ethical issues we're not necessarily willing to handle.
Does anyone have any suggestions, feedback, comments, or advice?
Thank you!
