Dash Cam Recommendations?
Thinking about adding a forward-looking dash cam to my truck. A search here reveals nothing related. Lotsa' "backup" cameras, but....
Has anyone got any experience with selecting a decent dash cam for fraud-prevention purposes, and the features it should have?

I've done a few Google searches for "dash cameras" and along with the numerous YouTube links have found quite a few. Most have been of the CYA variety, intended for use in commercial vehicles that might be subject to liability lawsuits. Some are used to watch their own drivers for violations too.
Not sure how well they'd for for loss prevention since most information is stored on-board (to the camera itself). If a thief steals the cam any proof he did so is gone too!

So, does anyone at FTE actually own one, and if so, what did you use as criteria for choosing the one you have, and would you do it again?

Here is an option: Top Dawg HD DVR Dash Cam at Galls
Would you buy it again if you had it to do over?

You'll find lots of reviews with their pricing and availability info. I am going to buy Urive brand's shoutgun model, which has 1080p front cam and 720p rear cam and records simultaneously. It's a bit pricey though at $300.
