Dash Camera / Video recommendation

Hi, I would like some recommendation about installing a Dash camera to record video while traveling.

Is it possible to start / stop with a wireless remote?
How long can you record?
How is the record quality?
Connect and download into a computor?

Something like this

  • Better pass on this POS. Wife thought they were a good deal and bought 7 of them for the grandkids. lasted about two weeks and the sun shining on them they all threw *****.

    I have an old GoPro that works great but they ain't cheap. Sams have on called Monster for about $119 I think.
  • The market is saturated with a lot of junk. You would be well advised to seek out one of the many forums devoted to dash cameras and reading up before purchasing one.

    Oh yeah, and be wary of scam 'review' websites, there are tons of those as well.
  • The camera that you are looking at has a removable SD card so that can be read by any computer that will accept an SD card. The picture quality is 1080 which is high definition. You will probably find the night vision is poor. You can probably get 16 hours or so of continuous recording and then it will just record over itself. They make 12 volt wireless switches that you can use to turn it on and off with a wireless remote. I use one with a wireless camera that I have.
