Anyone here use a Dash-Cam?

After seeing this video:

The reason why you need a dash camera (scam foiled) - YouTube

I'm strongly erroring on the side of getting one. However they are pricey (around $300) for a camera and hardwire kit. Of course, this is better than lawsuits and false claims if someone hits you and tries to blame it on you.

Thoughts?

If you have a smart phone there are a number of apps that will do this along the lines of 'black box'

The problem is remembering to set it up and use it every time.

Would you mind listing some of the apps that do this?

Thanks!

Ployd looks to be the one with the best reviews. Think il give it a try.

Damn, think I'm gonna have to look into one of those. Talk about dishonest behaviour! Wow

Ployd has a trial version, I'm gonna give that a try.

Happens all the time!

in my searching...

you can buy an extra power connection and windshield mount to swap from one car to another.

also like the SD card slots.

Mercedes offers car cameras in the S class line as an option in Europe, but not in that states *that i've found*.

Wow!! I thought I was weird for wanting to do this a few months ago. I've been researching them as well. I think I will eventually get a dash cam.

People are such jerks. Maybe this guy was trying to pull a scam ($500 at the end of the day), but was it needed to put up his address, and the address of his sister who has 3 kids? I hate the internet...
