in car camera

Has anyone fitted one of these! Like a nighthawk or blackvue or other?

If so - what do you think? I'm looking for a discrete permanent one. small is ideal.

Thanks

I have a blackvue (380 i think) but its not been put into the volvo yet. Worked well in my old car and although fairly big it's still discreet and even more so I think when it's in the volvo.

Yes had the chillibongo in since December would not be without it it is also excellent for reviewing service if you suspect anything....

I have a Blackvue 380HD installed with the additional power control unit for when parked up. Small, neat, unobtrusive (once you switch off the audible alarms).

I have the original Roadhawk Rh-1. Quality of the camera is poor compared to modern stuff (an issue which has been resolved with later models I believe) and it's very expensive but does a good job.

What's the maximum recording time (at decent resolution) on these things? I rather like one where I can record 2 hours of driving time, download the video to PC / store online somewhere, wiping the sdcard etc. ready for the next journey.

Video management features like this, as well as what sort of metadata (ie GPS position, speed, overlayed on video either in-video or in a separate stream) is of interest to me.

I'm also interested in Night/Evening (low light but with headlights and streetlights ruining the contrast ratios) capabilities of these various things

I do want to get one myself but don't know which one...
