How many use a dash-cam?

Okay, so here's a question...G1W for the front...does it record while the car is parked? over night? Also, what about interior-wise?

I just got this A118C (capacitor version) for about $80 online. Its pretty small but still has a screen where I can see the field of view and get a quick play back. I like it a little better than the G1 because of how it mounts (more secure) and size (smaller footprint). Still super easy to use/set up and looks like this by my Valentine 1:

Use the original 0801 in my Z, works great and has very small footprint.

I got one, I keep mine mounted on the rear window facing forward. Can see everything out the dash and my speedometer. Got pulled over for "speeding" one time when I wasn't, don't want to go through that again.

Do you have any footage for that? I want to see how that mount records in terms of outside visibility.

You can see a detailed review on youtube. Look for user name Techmoan or just go to his website Techmoan.com for reviews and footage of different dash cams.

So from all the reading and researching, it looks like there isn't really anything out there for a "motion detect" camera.

There are some with Sensors to detect impact then record, but nothing that will record on movement, plus I guess it is a drain on batteries.

I just want to look for something that will capture if I get rear ended in a parking lot or something when I am not around. I guess some sort of a security cam :-/

Yea, I think I saw a motion detection feature on my G1W when I was messing around with it, but I've never used it. I figured it would just end up draining the battery.

I have this: http://www.amazon.com/Angle-Mobius-A.../dp/B00GPXYVQU

Great quality camera that is small and cheap (1080p at 18MB/s, as good quality as a GoPro3)

hardwired into mirror, turns on with car, turns off 30s after car, 32GB card fits about 4hrs of looping video with my settings.

It has some motion detect feature, but I've never tried it
