Video recording device on windshield?

[Texas_Ranger]

I've been thinking about adding a video recording device on the windshield to record while I'm driving. Driving through Dallas everyday, I see some crazy stuff on the roads and think it might be in my best interest in case I witness a wreck or if I'm involved in one. Without doing much research on the devices that are out there, I just wanted to see if any of you have researched this or have one that works well.

Yes I have on hanging right behind the rear mirror and a long power cable to the port in the armrest. Mine is two years old from Costco so probably not available any more.

What's your price range? If you don't want to spend a ton look at the Anker Roav. Anker makes good stuff and I have been happy with their dash cam.

Here's a good thread on the subject:

And here's my latest feedback on the garmin 55 in that thread. I wish it were positive, because I really like the size and mounting of this unit. And the features are amazing.

Ha ha, yeah I was having a brain fart when posting this, I couldn't for the life of me remember 'dash cam' so I had to go into descriptive mode. I bought one last night on a lightning deal from amazon. Thanks guys for the responses.

I picked up a rexing dashcam a few months back and hung it on the windshield in front of the rear view mirror. Can even see it when sitting in the driver seat. They make a hardwire kit that I ran down cross the headliner and then down the a pillar and it comes on with the key in run and off at shut off. Nice to have knowing the crazy crap on the roads nowadays.
