I plan to get one of the Visiondrive models in the new year. The website is a whole lot of awful, but the equipment seems pretty good and is being used by truck drivers apparently.

Hi I have the same camera as you link, paid $40.00 for it from eBay, good pic quality etc, the only neg I have about it is, it takes as long to down load vision as to record, I.e 2 hrs of recording takes as long to down load..I have. $90.00 huge sd card in mine will do over 11 hrs hd vision ..Gary

Bit expensive (I recall in the order of $400) but?
BlackVUE DR400G HD II - In-car Full HD Camcorder - GPS Version - Taxi Security Camera - Vehicle Security Camera

New laws have been introduced making it illegal to have anything on the dash, IF in the opinion of a police officer that may have pulled you over that it obstructs your view or interferes with your driving. So fit at your own peril, Regards Frank.

Which link Gary ?

I've seen Blackvue mentioned a couple of times on here and they seem very good. I'm planning on getting one or two for exactly the situation the thread is about.

have done a bit of research and the newer papago P3 has GPS, full HD video recording and turn by turn navigation in the one unit - not bad really....

it doesn't help with respect to the rear view though, but I did find one Korean brand that is two channel, front and rear cams with GPS and time stamping on the video, plus motion sensors that auto start recording during the time you are parked.

Lastly, I find it hard to believe any copper is going to defect you for having a device that you can legally use to defend yourself in court? especially if the only part of your windscreen it is blocking is behind your rear view mirror? Any serving members willing to comment on this?
