Default Dash cams

Time have any suggestions for a good dash cam? Thinking of getting one for the 928 down here in Cali..... People just can't drive

Blackvues are popular but just put in dash cams in google or amazon. There's a plethora of choices.
In a pinch, Ive used my iPhone with an app on the windshield that works just fine as well.

Amazon.com : Black Box Original Quality Real Full HD 1080P 1920x1080 H.264 G1W 2.7" LCD Car DVR Camera Recorder Dashboard Dashcam Black Box Video Recorder With G-sensor Night Vision Motion Detection Wide Degree 120° 4X Zoom : Vehicle Backup Cameras : Car Electronics Amazon.com : Black Box Original Quality Real Full HD 1080P 1920x1080 H.264 G1W 2.7" LCD Car DVR Camera Recorder Dashboard Dashcam Black Box Video Recorder With G-sensor Night Vision Motion Detection Wide Degree 120° 4X Zoom : Vehicle Backup Cameras : Car Electronics

This is the one I bought. It's the second one I've owned, the first was even cheaper ~$30 and the power/usb connection broke after a couple months. I also bought a 32 gb SD memory chip. Here is a sample video: [URL="http://youtu.be/gX8XgIyZzUE"]
(around the 1:30 mark the cop bullies his way into traffic and turns his lights off).

It takes video in 3 minute segments so its easy to find a file with the time stamp. I have it set up for full HD and each three minute file is ~275 mb, so my 32 gig SD card fills up quickly. Easy to set up. I don't let it sit in the direct sun light for long periods, some camera video chips are prone to heat damage. Also, night video is pretty good, too.

BTW, this appears to be one of the Russian ones but works for me.
