How many use a dash-cam?

i use a G1W-C mounted to my windshield, behind the rear view mirror. "C" version because in california it gets too hot, dash cams with batteries will explode.

Thanks for the inputs!
The blackvue I showed you (not sure if case for all blackvue), memory consumption it overwrites the oldest file:

Lets say you have a max recording of 8 hours on a 32gb card.

Records hour 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8. When 9th hour is recorded, hour 1 gets deleted automatically and everything shifts up. so the position of memory become 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 and it is looped. Also you can cut up videos so when you review them, each video will be like 3 min long or w.e u want. Convenient for when you wonna look up something specific. Dont have to dig through 1 huge file like how you look for a certain scene in a movie file.

This might be asking for much....but any with connections to a rear view camera? :P

I won't have the backup until I install a new dash unit.

I have the G1W clamped to my rear view mirror. I got it for a x-mass preseant and like it a lot. It take clear videos and good audio. The camera looks decent but not super cheap. This reduces the chance of someone smashing the window to try and steal it. I took a sharpy and colored in the chrome part to make it a little more stealth. For the price, you can't beat it. It's also my anti fun device for when I valet the car. They see the camera on and recording so valet drivers tend not to do stupid things knowing that I can easily prove any mishaps.

When I got my dashcam I wanted the back too. "Why not go all the way" right? Too bad for me, i tinted my car at 5% rear so i dont think dashcam would work for me. As i suggested before tho, if you only get a front dashcam, just park your rear in and your front out.

Are you talking about a camera that is mounted in the front that records 2 directions or two separate cameras? I heard cameras that record front and back are not worth it. When you mount the camera for a clear view of the front, the rearward video quality is compromised. In a lot of cases, the rear video becomes almost useless because you can't make anything out.

my question is where does the recording go. is it sent to your phone/computer/etc. or does it go on a memory stick that's in the camera?

oh ok, so you have to take the card out and then upload it onto your computer. it would be nice if there was a wireless one that could stream directly to your phone or something like that.
