do any of you guys have them?

What do you think about what you have?

Recommended Best Buy’s or deals?

Any limitations to your cam footage supporting your self as evidence? (Like a minimum of 720dpi required for law enforcement or something)?
 
I bought a cheap $35-720 years ago, a NewEgg special. Aside from the battery, it still works and I use it regularly these days. I can't get plate numbers at 55-60 mph though. IMHO, If your going to buy one, get the best clarity you can afford.
Fortunately I've not needed it for accident evidence. But I've come really close. Way back, I posted a video of this near miss while I was towing my boat back from MO. The two oncoming pickups are stopped waiting for me to pass so they can turn left. Date was not set and you can see the seconds are only 2 digit. A lot happened in those 3 seconds. The cam is just to the right of my rear view mirror post in the Ram. I remember thinking I'm gonna snag him with the trailer wheel. I was very fortunate that day.

Went to Best Buy with the money in my pocket to buy one but the salesperson totally confused me about the different features. I didn't know what I wanted so I left.
 
I put one with wifi in my wifes car, it work really nice and you can get to the video's from your cell phone without having to touch the camera.
 
Good question by the OP as I know I should have one too. For those that have them can you provide the model you have regardless if you’re happy with it or not? Lots of feedback so far but only two peeps have provided a model they use.
