Product/Service Name
Dashboard/windshield/ceiling-mounted camera for capturing events on the road while driving.

Complete Description
A dashboard-mounted video camera with at least 720p capability at 30fps (or 15/24/25 fps) capable of capturing plate numbers, wide angle capability (at least 90 degrees, preferably 120 degrees or more) preferably with night-vision/low light capability, autoexposure (when filming against the light), and uses either standard batteries and with the ability to tap on a cigarette lighter. It should be mountable on a flexible, vari-angle stand and could be taken off its mount when needing to film off car (say, in a road accident).

Average Market Retail Price / Street Price
Php 4,000 to Php 12,000

Pictures if applicable
Photos below are to give an idea of what I'm looking for

============

Hello to all! I am interested in acquiring a good-quality, camera that I can mount on my car to record events while I drive. I've seen a couple of offerings from Sulit, but, I think it's an understatement to say that I would trust a Tsikot offering a hundredfold more. I don't have a particular model in mind, though I've seen different candidate models, none of which gave all the features I am looking for at the price point I've indicated. If anybody has an idea of what would be a good model, I'm all ears.

Bottomline, I'd like to protect myself while driving (crazy motorists, maniacal riders, clueless pedestrians, preying traffic enforcers, nuisance street urchins, potential carjackers, among others). It'll also make a good tool for posting videos on the Goon Squad HQ

Go pro HD is the best in the market. Kahit saan mo I mount, sa front bar, sa roof,sa windscreen. Rain or shine, back ground such as wind noise is non existent, I've had it at 200 km/h + and picture quality is perfect..

I'm leaning towards getting the GoPro but the only local distributor I've come across says that they don't have stocks at the moment. Would you guys know of other dostros? The one I found was a shop called Glorious Ride Bike Shop in Sikatuna. Would appreciate feedback.

Am still open to other comparable brands also. Thanks!

*GH: yup, I've actually searched in Sulit first... That's where I found the link to Glorious. As for the other sellers, I'm a bit wary of dealing with individuals with no shops as I've been burned in the past by unsavory sellers.
