CarCam Voyager Keeps an Eye on the Road So You Don't Have To

I wonder what the quality really is. I was rear-ended and pushed into another car. No witnesses and the guy in front of me said he was hit twice so I was assigned 50% fault by the cops. This would have been great. Watch what you say to cops or anyone else when your in an accident.

this does seem to be something i'd be interested.... if i hadn't already invested in a mini gorillapod... that thing is wonderful... just stick my decent res. camera on there and go have fun.. if only i hadn't had to replace the camera due to a 'bit too much fun' that ended in the whole thing breaking and losing the best videos :(

lesson learned: back yo shit up!

@MrEvil: yeah, i've always thought something like this could work well with the black-box system on some newer cars... of course, if the accident is your fault, it's not going to be helpful at all...

@TexanIdiot25: Yeah, at that sort of resolution the video would be like a more colorful version of "Secret Collect."

8 hours onto 2 gigs? You do want to be able to make out what is a car and what is a house on the video, right?

I cannot stress how bad video quality will be, if 8 hours fits into 2 gigs... Especially for an $80 camera.

I could see where this little guy might be useful.

Definitely useful to record all your driving in case of an accident where the other driver is at fault and blames you and lies to the police officer. It happened to me once.

If it were for dragons, wouldn't it be pointing the other way?

I'm sure some auteur will film Fassbinder-like hours of commuting, vacation driving, roads to nowhere, poignant road signs, roadside attractions...

Gee for a second I thought that title said CarCam Voyeur!

POLAЯ is taking his work underground. He can't let it fall into the wrong hands again!

Or parents could his this as an end-all to the "where-have-you-been" questions.

Can I trigger it when the car door gets slammed into by some 8-year old?
