Not the best value dash cam out there.

Expensive for a dash cam really.

I use one of these:

http://www.e-prance.com/car-dvr/mini-0801-ambarella-a2s60-chip-car-dvr-blackbox-with-full-hd-1080p-30fps-ov2710-g-sensor-license-plate-gps-optional.html

It may be cheap but it will happily resolve registration numbers up to 10 - 20m even with oncoming traffic.

1080p @ 30 fps. Which it actually does quite well.

Another feature that seems to be quite rare it the fact that you can permanently power the stick on mount. This eliminates the need to have to plug a USB cable in each time. The device picks up it's power from the mount.

Also, the device is set by default to start recording when it detects power from the mount connection and to stop 30 seconds after you disconnect it.

A GPS logger is available and it takes standard MicroSD card up to 32GB.

I bought the version without an SD card (as I had a few spare) and with the GPS mount.

You can get them on Amazon for around £60.
