I purchased my camera from thebohemianfnm on ebay on 08/Nov/12.
I paid $178 USD. The price was not the lowest but that seller advertised free warranty so I opted for that.
Now I see that the price has dropped to $170.99 and the "Free Warranty" has been replaced with "60 day guarantee". I will contact the seller for clarification.
The camera arrived on 23/Nov/12. It was well packed and the package appeared un-tampered with, although the seals are not the kind that really prevent tampering.
Everything was in the box.
I installed the camera (pictures of installation to come later) and tested it out at 1080p during the evening and night.
The video quality is very good (evening and night) but I can't make out the license plate numbers of the parked cars I pass. My wife was very impressed with the quality as she was expecting something like the online crash videos I show her but she was less impressed when I told her how much I paid for the camera.
The sound is very muffled. I need to test it out some more. I had planned to not record sound anyway but now I think it's good to have.
I was unaware that it records multiple clips instead of a continuous one. That makes sense but is slightly annoying.
I'm a little worried that that the camera itself will attract vandals/thieves. I may cover the "Full HD 1080P" sticker on the front of it.
I'll post pics and more thoughts later.
