You said in Post #7 above that you want a "stealthy" dashcam. The X550 isn't stealthy. Examples of stealthy cams include...

What cam is that?

Two cams. Upper is SGZC12RC. Lower is Mobius. Both are tiny / discreet / stealthy.

Upper is SGZC12RC

Thats the camera unit of that camera, it do have a main unit where the screen and memory card is, but its size is of little matter as you can stash it just about anywhere in your car.
The lower camera is the mobius camera, but it dont have usable parking guard.

Prebuffered parking guard mans you will have on record a few seconds ( 5 - 10 ) from before the triggering event, many other cameras just trigger and then start to record, so you might miss what triggered that event.

Prebuffered G-sensor or motion detect is really the only options for true worth while parking guard function.

SGZC12RC do have prebuffering of events, and it is the most stealthy camera around, and its footage day and night is also as good as it get with current hardware in use.

Some people have seen the JooVuu x as a viable competitor with good specs.

Based on my experience, the camera has quality issues, service from JooVuu is unreliable and undertakings made by their management can't be relied on.

Please contact me if additional or more detailed info is required.
