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

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.

I'm also looking for something like this as I've been a victim of having the tables turned on me during accidents where the other party hits me and they make it look like my fault.

Even better is a system that can record all views (front, rear, sides) just to be sure as I have also had vehicles swerve into me from the side.

The system can also double as security when the vehicle is parked.

I'm using my iphone mounted to my windshield as my trip recording tool when I'm not using GPS. If nothing much important recorded that day, I just delete the clips from iTunes

The P1,880 DV-R with camera offered by CD-R King is just enough for video recording, video quality is enough for viewing. The plate number of the moving vehicles is not readable in the recorded video. The video clip recording is selectable in 3, 5 & 15 minutes length.
