I've been seeing some weird stuff on the road over the last two months and I want to buy a dash cam, something that's easy to use and not very expensive.. Amazon's variety is limited to a couple of thousand and I haven't a clue. Anybody have a suggestion?

Amazon's variety is limited to a couple of thousand and I haven't a clue. Anybody have a suggestion? I also purchased one from The Dashcam Store (online) for my 914 (car's in the shop, so I can't attach a picture). It's mounted just to the right of the mirror, aimed forward, and has a nice wide-angle lens with HD recording to a micro-SD card. I got the GPS option, so that when I take the card out and load it onto my computer, the included app shows a gps map alongside the video, syncing with the video and showing the route on Google Earth. I also got the installation kit because I have the JWest fuse block, so their kit will install with the newer spade fuse design and power is permanent (switched) without messing with a cigarette lighter cable. Here's a link to the unit: Mini0801 Dash Camera Not affiliated yada yada yada. |

I have a wink-mirror and curious whether that cam would fit between the glass and the front of the mirror... |
