Anyone know the best price/performance dash cam?

 

Best one I have found so far is the Black Box G1W-CB which is fine but I want to know if it starts recording when I turn on my car so I don't have to worry about reaching over and pushing the button every time i get in the car lol

 

also does it automatically delete old video to make room for new ones?

 

 

 

trying to stay under $80 including SD/memory card.

Why have it turn off when you turn off the car? Many hit and runs happen when you're not in the car. I would have it running 24/7.

I didn't mean turn off when I turn off the car but that is what I said...

 

Not sure if it will matter much though because usually when I get out of my car it's in a place where it's highly unlikely to get bumped and also Im usually not in my car for long periods of time so the battery/capacitor will likely discharge

 

I really just want it to work if I get in my car 12+ hours later and not have to reach behind my mirror and press the button lol and to my surprise no one in any reviews says whether or not it does this or not...
