I have a DOD LS430W. Pretty decent, low light auto settings kinda blow. Having gps and speed info on video is helpful in case someone likes to lie about when, where and how an accident happened. If I had to buy again I might check out the blackvue models.
Sample vid *check volume levels, is kinda loud*

Dude I love your tunes. That's what cruising the z is all about!!!!!

Wire cutter does awesome reviews and has saved me some bad decisions over the years.

That works too.

I honestly would prefer a 360 degree camera in the event I get pulled over for something silly and it ends up becoming a bigger deal. Just for a peace of mind.

That G1W-C looks good but I would need two of them :P

Convinced. I just ordered this:
The Best Dash Cam | The Wirecutter

Ordered the same one for my wife's new car last week! We went with the G1W-C to avoid the battery issue.

Im saying if you only got 1 camera that records only the front, you SHOULD park the rear end of your car towards the wall. That way the rear end of your car Cannot be hit (So you dont need vision or dashcam for it), only your front can get hit if it if does, you will have it recorded.

I got a picture. If you park your car backwards. There's only two scenarios how a hit and run would occur. (Logically speaking).

Blue car takes GREEN path and hits a different random car. That car tanked the blow for you. Your car is safe. #worth.

Blue car takes BROWN path. Hit yours car where your dashcam records it. Safe.

Use a 0801 in my 2016 370z, small and can hardly see it. Been using dash cams for years in all my cars, there is quite a difference from the $30 ones and $300 ones.

Here's a video from my drive home from work yesterday that I pulled off my G1W (I was driving with the windows down). At about 3:00, you can see a truck pull out in front of me and then cut me off.
