Thank again all! @Ammunition: Pics would be awesome. Would love to get a feel for mounting options. Do the LEDS have some function? Are they needed for night recording?

Thanks!

As others have mentioned. I've heard nothing but great things about Blackvue series. I would have gone that route if I wasn't so damn cheap.

Personally, I went with Ojocam. They're... ok. Being in Florida, the heat really kills it. I had it for 7 months then the battery went to shit and wouldn't hold a charge (it would record still since it's connected on a base).

I finally recently opened it up and put a new lithium battery in it.

Street-Guardian-SG9665GC hands down. Unless You want front and rear cams. Don't really care about parking mode, since they sell add ons for it at Amazon, and don't care about WiFi either. Works well in the Vegas Heat. No issue so far. Very happy and its compact!

Damn you all, I kinda want to sell the Street Guardian and buy a Blackvue for the parking mode. :P

SG is consistently better... Though mine has parking mode. This assumes heat issues are a thing of these past for BV.

It is hilarious, as I've never seen cars drive so slow on a track.
