I usually just leave my mounted but it's so small that you can't really see it from the outside. Also I hate having to perfectly mount it everytime I start driving since a little bit of tilt (up, down, left, right) can mean a feet or so of the image not in the perfect position.

I just mount it behind the rearview mirror.. the cars I have, nearly all of them have the big rain sensors (which is a blessing because it makes tapping into 12V much easier).. so an added piece is not too obtrusive (besides BMW's mirrors are rather bulky to start off with).. besides since I do bolt mine down around the neck of the rear view mirror(not suction cup).. so it is covered by ICBC just in case.

I would be more worried about crossing the border (since I don't think you are supposed to be filming border crossings).. than petty theft. Especially border guards can randomly ruin your day base on their whim.

an anyone recommend a good budget cam.. under $200.. less would be better with decent quality...

edit ^

so which bus will we see this on? :troll:

:pokerface: i hate you

I have been wanting to get one but never really searched. Had a few close calls that rekindled my interest lol

that eBay one came out to approx $30USD before taxes IIRC.

I see that it uses a cigarette lighter plug, so I'm assuming it's auto on/off. Question is, do you guys do a clean install (hidden wires etc) or just let the wires run down your dash in plain view?

DiiCii and Luder, does the camera have internal memory or do I have to get a sd card for it? just waiting for my order to come in

Read it has a 8GB memory card expandable up to 32GB

the internal memory card doesnt work for recording videos, u need to buy a SD card if u wanna record videos. i have 2 different cams.

ya you gotta buy your own sd card, that's what diicii did.. I still havent had time to go look for one and all that so my dash cam is currently just gonna sit in my closet haha but diicii bought a 32gb one

try it out in ur beater, post a few videos. i missed the group buy but ill start a new one if its descent

the cord is extra long so you can tuck it

Last question before ordering it, can it be mounted "upside down" as in the suction cup goes to the top. The videos will then have to be rotated with a computer software right?

yep that's how you're supposed to mount it. if the suction was at the bottom, video would be upside down!

as requested, here is my "review".. even though i didn't review on anything:lol you can be the judge!

anyone know how to embed facebook videos?

so how much did that thing cost?

i was going to do a group buy earlier, but no ones wanted to dip in =(

came out to $32.72 CDN shipped! spent another $40 on a 32gb sdhc card. total of $70 for a camera!

$70 is a solid deal.

how long can you record for with the 32 gb sdhc card ?
