I got one off EBay 6 months ago. It was one recommended by someone else on this forum. Just started out on a 3 month trip so have tried to use it. Cannot get it to record for more than a couple of minutes. I press the record button and it stops recording pretty quickly.
Instructions are written in Chinglish and are very poor. Would send it back for a refund but too much time has elapsed. '
DW thinks I should get a GoPro but I am now thinking this is merely a toy and not worth the aggravation.
a decent dash cam $52. a go pro $300. worth it only if you want a helmet mount for sky diving. several alternates much cheaper. will go pro overwrite and record in a loop? if not, worthless

This dash cam was $84 off EBay. With the 32 gig sd card, the GoPro will record for many hours (More than I will ever drive in a day) and I believe you can set it to loop. It also has WiFi capability so you can view videos on other WiFi devices like smart phones or PC's.
I am done buying cheap, no-name junk off Ebay. At least GoPro has thousands of users who give it excellent reviews. The GoPro Hero 3 is $199 and another $15 for the car charger.
