What with the rise in crash-for-cash and fake pedestrian hits at crossings etc, I keep thinking about a small camera for in the car.

Something that when requested can store the last minute or so of action.

Now Roadhawk is the benchmark but out of my price bracket. So what else is being used by the PH collective?

Looking at something under £100 ideally well under.

Cheers

Do a search there was a good thread recently linking to a guy who tests quite a few and posts his findings.

app for iphone and android called witness. 69p does all you want. You need to have a solid cradle though.

If you can stretch your budget a little, you can get a Blackvue DR400G series II - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180946755079 (I have one on the way from this guy).

Proper 1080p, parking mode (if someone bumps your car when it's parked, it records), GPS, etc. All hands off - if it's G-meter detects too large a shock it automatically keeps footage from before and after.

There's a more basic DR380 which is only 720p and no GPS for less:
