So what are the things you do look for then? I have no idea of what half of the descriptions they say these things do. I just want one that you turn on while travelling and IF something happens then it is there recorded.

So what are the things you do look for ... IF something happens then it is there recorded.

What I deem imperative is the ability to read number plates at 30m. I prefer not to travel at night, but also use the units in the passenger car where night time use is more frequent. I believe this will put the price threshold somewhere in the vicinity of $500. If this seems excessive, then my feeling is, why bother? Remember, "IF" somethings happens, you will want the best visual image for support and I cover my butt both front and rear - two units. The rear unit is just as important as the front when those impatient large commercial vehicles are trying to hurry you up.

I will be looking at the GoPro range next, but only if they deliver the goods as above.

Did not come with a micro SD Card, you can get cheaper ones on the Net I ended up getting a Class 10 ( Fast record?) 32GB from Office works for from memory at around $39.

Unit seems to work OK have yet to review video.

Unit could be a liability if you are in an accident and you are at fault, but........... that will never happen..

I bought a "Navig[8]r" at the Post Office for $79.99.
Works OK, night vision with IR LEDS, bought a Class 5 Micro-SD 32GB for it for $29.99 @ K-Mart.
Supposedly only speaks Windoze, but Mac's Image Capture s/w works OK.
Thinking about getting another one for the rear view...
Even Girt (rolling weight - incl toad on trailer - about 10t) gets nervous when the big Kenny drivers come sniffing up her bum!
