I'm using a gopro as a dash cam currently. I chose the go-pro for several reasons:
1) I didn't want the dashcam to be in the car after I parked. I felt that the chances of me having someone break in to steal it were much higher than the chances of someone hitting my car and catching it on camera (plus, I always park nose in, so the camera wouldn't really record the accident) 2) I can use a gopro on a helmet and in other cars with pretty much no extra effort. I bought 2 extra batteries, so the battery life hasn't been much of an issue. |

This one if someone's interested in a apparently good quality 720p dashcam with IR LEDs for $60:

The dashcam looks very familiar... almost like the one I got off of Amazon for $25: [ame="http://www.amazon.com/2-5-inch-Vehicle-Recorder-Dashboard-Camcorder/dp/B0053DDNW6"]Amazon.com: 2.5-inch HD Car LED IR Vehicle DVR Road Dash Video Camera Recorder Traffic Dashboard Camcorder - LCD 270 degrees whirl: Car Electronics[/ame]
I don't know if mine has the motion detection feature though but I think i have the photocell too. FYI the 6 IR LEDS are practically useless.

Oh and have a good virus scanner installed on your PC when you first plug in the MicroSD card. Mine flagged an autorun virus when I went to install the software on my PC. A quick format of the card and letting the dashcam rebuild the files on the card fixed that right up. |

I'm still not convinced the IR LEDS do anything. The night videos posted were in fairly lit areas. 6 LEDS isn't going to be wide enough nor powerful enough, but that's what headlights are for. I'm eventually going to get a Blackvue soon though.
