Dash Cam
I'm considering a G1W-H Hidden Dashboard Dash Cam for $61 ON Amazon. Any feedback on these or better suggestions for this price range?

Shit. Sorry for posting in the wrong area. Please move to the electronics section.

I prefer the all in one, DVR in rear view mirror. I have it running when parked because I have been victim of two hit and runs. Gouged and cracked bumpers. Dual cameras, the rear one I use all the time to display what's behind me (blind spot)
And I run a gopro hero 4 on the dash as well.

i understand, the one i have clips onto the oem, not a huge fan of this approach, but it works. And main thing is no one would suspect the mirror is also a dvr with a camera. so i keep my front two windows, (hatchback) cracked to get outside audio. only thing i need is a camera inside.
few years ago, my car got broken into, and only thing i found missing was a friggin rubik cube....wtf. so im happy to pay $100 total with sd card to catch stuff.

I have the older G1W in my Yaris. Works great. Nice clear 1080p video, works pretty well at night also. I've got an old 4gb micro SD card in it. It holds about 40 minutes of video. I have mine set to cycle every 10 minutes and delete files as the card fills up.

I would like to buy a couple for better coverage and be able to record while parked at places too.

I've thought about running mine directly off the battery so it was on all the time, I've just not done it. Mine's got a 120 degree lens, so it easily picks up all 6+ lanes and some to the side of an interstate. I think the newer ones have 140 degree.

Indeed. I'd like to get a rear facing one as well. Do you have any ideas for a better permanent mounting solution than the suction cups? I hate suction cups.

Think so. Lemme hit up my machinist. I plan on buying at least one of the cameras within the next week so then that way I have it for my trip down to Texas the middle of June. that way I will have something for him to be able to create a template off of.
