Can you elaborate, please?

In short there's no way for you to get your money back if it's faulty. Do a search online for chinavasion scam or similar terms and you'll turn up plenty of discussions about them.

Thanks.

Found the post I made about them on here.

In summary, they never admit any of their products are faulty, so if you want it back you need to pay have it sent back again and you have to incur any customs charges a 2nd time. But why would you want it back if YOU know it's faulty anyway? You wouldn't. So you ask for refund, but they don't offer refunds if in their opinion there is no fault with the product. And even if they don't admit there is a fault (which they won't), you still can't get your money back because they don't offer monetary refunds, only credit notes to purchase additional products from them. BUT.. they charge a restocking fee on top of that, and guess how much the restocking fee is....

Also, according to other forums, they have a habit of not receiving items back. No problem you say? Just send it via a trackable method right? No.. They won't accept any items returned to them this way because they charged customs fees. You must send them back via a non-trackable means.

Basically they have it completely sown up. Regardless of what happens to your product, you ain't ever seeing a penny of your money back.

Personally I don't know why motorists or cyclists want cams

The reason I have a dash cam is because of the increasing number of times insurance companies seem to settle for "knock for knock" because both drivers claim they were the innocent party. I just let my dash cam record over previous footage and I'll only keep any if I have an accident.

Ignoring price. Is there anything better than the roadhawk hd?

I'd say the Blackvue 400.

I've got two Roadhawk RH-1's (Previous version to the current HD model.) but would go with the Blackvue next purely on Dog Cam Sports (The RH supplier.) terrible "whatever" attitude to customer support.
I just glad my cameras have been relatively trouble free.

Do they have a built in hardrive?

I am also considering a mid-priced dash cam, rearview mirror camera like this:

It all depends on how much you want to spend on one?

Good morning, everybody.I'm new here and now looking for a decent dash camera for my younger cousin's car. As some of you said above, I have no idea how to make a choice. Since you all discussed it several months ago, I'm sure you got the right cameras. So could you give me some good suggestions? Thank you in advance.

Read the link a few posts above - it's all there. Not spoon feeding you, sorry.

[cherryyi]

Aha, spoon feeding is out of date. I'll read them as you advise me to. Thank you!
