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