    I have the GoPro with a 64gig SD disk inside. I can record for 14 hours in high def before it loops. Here is a video from it. It was not uploaded as high def though

    What about dashcam from Love's? I've got boatload of points there. They've got Garmin and Cobra. Not sure what models. Which one would you recommend. I'm not looking to make movies, just to cover my assets.

    I bought one of the first ones from TA back in 2012, it is stone age compared to others now but it still works. Was contacted today from a major website who found a video of mine on youtube and they want to copyright it and share 60/40 with me all future ad revenue. Back of the envelope math says if the video earns $100 million dollars, I get $60 million bucks before taxes-- not too bad for a $149 dashcam.

    What good is the front view of your drivers side cam if you have it set on rear only? Does that mean that you basically are not recording anything in the front on your driver side? thanks

    It records both cams at the same time into different files

    Does the side vid seem backwards... Like looking in a mirror ? Or am I losing it....

    And how do you download the vids ( I've got the same system)

    Yes the mirror video was backwards in the settings. I fixed it though. In the settings I had it set for 'rearward' facing since the cam points to the rear. Turns out flipping it the other way makes it record the proper way. Haven't seen anything worth posting up since the CDN dude.
