I purchased a Rexing V1 dash cam.
Recording max quality is 1080p @ 30 fps.
170' field of view
G-Sensor
For $100, this thing is pretty decent. Just add a micro-SD card.
Video at full quality is roughly 100 megabytes per minute in MOV format. I drove to Starbucks and back and wrote 2 gigs of video files.
I disabled audio recording since you don't need to hear me singing the Cranberries today, and I set recording size to 10 minutes per file. Options are 3, 5, and 10 minutes.
The oldest files will automatically be deleted when space is required.
A date/time stamp is applied to the video.
This model does not have any speed/gps sensor. I kind of prefer it that way.
It has a 2.4 inch screen to use for setup and video review. Along with a few buttons for navigating menus and
It has a G-Sensor which can detect shock (crash) and will automatically store and lock the current video file so it cannot be overwritten due to age.
I wired mine in to a switched power source, so it turns on and off automatically.
I set mine to record for an additional 20 seconds after power loss before shutting off.
Boot-up time is a couple seconds.
It mounts via an adhesive strip which is used to attach a small plastic clip to the windshield. The camera slides onto the clip.
Once mounted, the camera angle can be adjusted vertically by quite a bit (maybe 45 degrees).
Wiring went from the camera, to up in the head-liner, then down the A-pillar and trim by the door, and finally to the fuse box.
So far I am very happy with this. I want one for the wife. Heck, I want one for the rear window. It's peace of mind. If I'm ever in an accident, I'd rather have a video to tell my side of the story.
Sample video is below. I've got some glare from a speaker on my dashboard in the bright sun but it still looks good.
And here's the device on Amazon:
