A recommended dash cam brand/model?
After being a witness to a three-car pileup (someone slid between two cars, rear-ended the car in front, and the car behind rear-ended him), it got me thinking about doing like people do in Russia, an...

My new dashcam arrived from China last Thursday (9-12-13).
I spent some time playing with it and installing it on Saturday. It works great and I am happy with its performance.
Based on your posts, I just ordered one from same source. :B
I've now had mine for some six weeks. Easy to set up and install. Works fine! Drove 10 hours to INDY and back from DC. Works just fine.
I am, however, investigating a possible issue. For a couple of years I have had a Radar Detector and a Garmin GPS plugged into the Cigarette Adapter in my car. I have now added the DVR-207 to the same power source.
Now when I shut the car off overnight, upon starting in the AM my GPS takes a few miles of driving in order to acquire the Sats. (Previously it required zero time to acquire.) It seems that if I unplug either the GPS or the DVR-207 for the night, this does not occur.
It almost seems if the DVR-207 is continuing to draw power from the GPS during the time thye lighter is switched off???
I know, sounds whacky! I'll continue to experiment and see what happens.
Anyone else heard of such a thing?
