I have a Uniden Igo 300 windscreen camera only because it was included as a freebie as part of a package deal when I bought my CB. To be honest I find it’s image quality is a little disappointing & I wouldn’t recommend it.

I know a few people who have bought either this camera (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/360604544989?lpid=44&item_id=360604544989)

or this one with gps (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/HD-1080P-2-7-LCD-TFT-Vehicle-Car-DVR-Camera-Video-Recorder-GPS-G-Sensor-GS5000-/131039509609?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1e82903c69&_uhb=1) (not necessarily from these sellers) & the images are way better than the Uniden. Neither are up to GoPro standards, but not at GoPro prices either.

The still shot is a screen grab from the K5000 & the video link from the GS5000

What are you actually wanting a camera for, accident recording or recording while out wheeling or a combination of both???

My camera is just an Ebay job and is great for street and also driving 4x4 tracks, records to a micro SD card of 16gb I think
Audio could be better but picture is spot on

I've had several experiences with dash cams, and perhaps I've just had a bad run, but I've had several fail on me.

The one I have currently is from s.will (http://www.szswill.com) 2 months ago, so far so good.

There's some benefit to buying locally. I've found that the mounts for different cameras can make a huge difference in terms of how easily they mount in a specific vehicle. At least if you buy from JB or Harvey Norman, you've got the option of exchanging it for a different one, if you wanted to try a couple out.

Wish I found this when I was looking! Though I got one with a dual camera just as a cheap reverse camera for the work ute
