We have the Cobra drive Hd CDR840 1080FHD Dash Cam.
Works well and wide angle with 20 minute loop as well as freeze button and auto on in an accident with battery take over.
It can stick well to any window or dash etc and moved to any vehicle your want to use. ;D

I have this unit in my car.  It saves 1080p video in 1 to 20 minute clips.  Default is 3 minute clips.  With a 4GB SD card, the unit will save 2 hours of video, always rewriting over the oldest clip.

The video quality is very good.  I don't recommend going in and changing the factory default settings.  I did when I first got it and it didn't seem to like it.  After resetting back to factory, it's been good.

Garmin makes a nice large screen GPS with a dash cam built in. A lot of options on the setup too

Thanks for the input.  I was hoping someone had the unit and could comment on it directly.  2 hours on a 4gb card would equate to around 32 hours on a 64gb card.  Don't remember if it accepts that big of a card though ...  Will have to look.

   Brian  I bought the same one on Ebay for 69.00 US or for me 100.00 Canadian. It came from China and had free shipping and it came in the mail and I didn't have to pay any duty charges.  I have just used it once and don't you know I followed a drunk guy (I thought) for 50 kilometers swerving all over the road and I called 911. The guy finally went 100 feet off the road and didn't roll it. It turns out he had a medical condition of some kind, but who gives these guys a licence.  The only reason I caught up to him at one point was because he hit a van in a 80 kilometer zone. I only used it once and I want to put it in my 4 runner, motorcycle or my bus so I used velcro  so I can move it. It does have a small memory card and the video was very good. It also has a gps but I didn't hook that up yet. Hope that helps.

Ours is 32 GB max,my wife is into all the gadgets of all things that is what she wanted for Christmas I think it's more distraction myself.Her reasoning is you have a record if somebody causes you to a accident which is true,like I told her yea you have record if you cause a accident too.
I lost the battle anyway  ;D but I could do without one to answer the question Brian that is the one we have good or bad I have nothing to compare it with I only know it has very short battery life when not plugged in.
The grand kids hooked hers up through the overhead TV someway I like that she can sit or lay on couch and watch it   
Life is short drink the good wine first
