Just buy it !
I bought one a year ago or so and have it in my Rav4.
I thought I'd do the Russian thing and catch all kinds of crashes and crap,
but so far NaDa. It's surprisingly good quality for the price....of course
I paid less. Mine was $17.97 direct from some province in China postage
included.
Top quality!

Now Matt....
I'll have you know I caught the look of panic on a small face today as I
approached my driveway...I could print the pic and send you a copy if
you're into squirrels !

Walmart has the SD card. I suggest that you buy the micro SD card that comes with an adapter case for standard SD. That way you will be able to use it in the new camera or device that you will eventually buy.

Mine came yesterday and did include the USB cable, but no other cables. You won't have to crank up your torsion bars because of its weight. Now to find that extra 32 gig card....

32 gig SD card with adapter 24.25 incl. tax at Walmart.
I can't get it to shut down and still charge the battery. Power button only works when charger or USB cable is not energized. Anybody figure out a way to charge the battery without having the unit on?

Mine came today and while I haven't set it up yet, it appears to be a decent build.
I already have a similar camera (a Mobius) but, for $20, I could leave this installed permanently. I video'd my entire drive through Italy last Spring with my Mobius.
I like the monitor as I Think it will allow me to place it more accurately and get the GPS in the frame.
BTW: Here's a Dash Cam Forum -
https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/
Haven't checked yet but, I'm hoping there are tricks and tips there.

Dan, I get advertisements for those about every two weeks from somewhere or other. Most of them are Chinese knockoffs with very poor video quality.
Current model dash cams use micro SD cards and H.264 encoding. Most of these are old design using full size SD cards. For the price they are something to play with but they are not great picture quality.
If you want an interesting very small one, take a look at this guy.

Yup, that's the one I have.
The video quality is remarkable (and there's actually good user forum and developer support on the internet).
The thing is hardly bigger than a Tic-Tac container.

Anybody else get theirs?
Ken, thanks for the tip about the micro card and adapter, going to Wally World later today to check them out. My high dollar camera (high dollars years ago) uses an XD card so I am out of luck in sharing the cards as long as that camera keeps working. About a year ago my friends I-phone took a better close up picture than my $300 camera, but then again, that phone cost him several hundred and at least 2 years of hundred-plus monthly bills, so I wasn't really too miffed about it.
