I wondered if anyone thinks this cam would make do for use mounted in a vehicle as a driving recorder? Has anyone done this?

get a go pro. much easier to mount and deal with. this camera isn't sturdy enough for a race car. if you're mounting it in a daily driver it should work but not bumpin' around a track.

This camcorder is light and small enough for you to use it for that purpose.However, battery life is so short, you might need to carry extra 7-8 batteries to get that done.I would not get this camcorder for that purpose.

Absolutely! That is exactly why I got this baby. Works really well. It records in 15 min increments so if you need to use the footage you don't need a ton of editing. Mine came with the attachment to mount it to the dash, along with the belt clip and headband mount. Mine also came with waterproof case too.

Not really. It is designed as a flexible and good recording/webcam. There is nothing that activates it through motion. It is very good at what it does but I think you may be better served with something designed to a surveillance camera's specific job...

don't worry about it just send the recorder back if it only works in optimum conditions anything over70 degrees and it over heats so if it is in the windshield of your vehicle it will work very seldom... if you decide to keep it I am not sure where to get the right manual I was lucky enough to get one with the English version

I do not think so. I tried it in my car and it won't record but that was a car cord. I see below others are saying yes so maybe I am wrong. Good luck.

not recommended to do constant recording... really not the camera for this. I love vuezone - have them everywhere but not good for that purpose

I presume you are using while driving? Probably not the best idea if so. Regardless, tell me where you have mounted it, and at what angle are you viewing it?

I have mine set as continuous loop, but when night driving the camera doesn't notice anything on dark highways, then stops recording only to start again when lights brighten the lens. I guess it thinks the vehicle isn't moving. I don't know. Just my observation, in which I don't care for. I would rather have the thing recording on the loop until I turn it off. So far I have not found that button.

This actually has nothing to do with your car. This is a stand-alone 'spy' camera that is in a case that looks like a car remote. So you can put it on your key-chain and use it to record video without it looking like you have a camera. I don't use mine for that - I actually just wanted a very small video camera to put on a remote control helicopter. I removed the insides from the car remote case and velco'ed them to my helicopter. It takes reasonable video and is very small/light.

I turned mine on and drove to my destination, turned the car off and exited leaving the camera hooked up. I found out later that it recorded for over an hour while the car was off and unoccupied.

It works for large or small phones. Yes you can record from the windshield mount. It's all about the placement of the phone.

Yes it can record even the car is not on. But it only has a short time as the battery drains fast.

I have only used mine from cabin to tailgate on my crew cab pick up which is less than 20 feet. The video is sometimes a little grainy but good enough to see my hitch and ball. There are better ones out there for more money. I would first make sure you have a fresh battery in the camera. If that doesn't help, contact the company. My first one was terrible. I contacted the company and they were very cooperative. Sent me a new one that worked much better and I sent the first one back.

My camera has a very good recording quality and wide angle, good match for semi truck perfect for cars, the recording mode pre wired on the camera is by movent change such as hard breaking or going over a bump and as far as memory card I haven't used a 32 gb yet but as far as I know it takes, I use a 16 gb and it record all day and once is full it records over. The only down side to the camera is that the part that comes to attach on windshield is a glue based and with weather change can fall like it happen to, I have been using Valcro to keep camera up.

Unfortunately I'm having the same issue. It continually records but it breaks as a 2 minutes video clips. I just got this cam not too long ago so I will have to figure out how to fix this problem and I'll let you know.

Yes. It will also zoom in or out and can take still pics as well. I drive a lot on bad roads and the video is much better than you think. Is a great tool to have in ur car for an outstanding price. The only draw back is a 32 bit memory card will only record for about 3 to 4 hours before it is full. Try a 64 bit card for 6 to 8 hours of continues recording. Hope this helps!

Yes, that is a big problem with this dash cam. I am changing this cam out and replacing it with a Blackvue model. I have a Blackvue in another truck and it's very easy to use and set up.
