We have a Mini 801 in the TV, have had for about two years now, does a very good job.

Rr2254545, why you ask?
Unbiased witness to an crash! Best protection from the idiot that pulls right in front of you and slams on the brakes, then claims you were tailgating him!

The Mini 801 hides behind my mirror, and is not noticable from the outside.

To film the mistakes that others may make in front of you while on the road. As the article also mentions, some insurance companies are also starting to offer discounts to people that have them on their vehicle.
Cameras don't lie and can be a valuable resource after an accident.
Of course those that are accident prone may not want one in their vehicle so as not to incriminate themselves. :B

Last year after seeing a video of a car cutting in front of a MH and then slamming on the brakes for no reason causing the MH to hit it... I now run one and it's on all the time... even when away from the MH.
PS: The MH driver was not charged when he produced the video... without he would have been charged. They are also the source of some good videos such as the one of the DP blowing a tire and turning over that has been discussed on here.
Cheap insurance at $18 for camera plus $10 for a memory card.
