I want one cause on the 30th of November a Merc chucked a u turn in front of me; right across double White lines and side swiped me. I was fortunate in that the woman accepted liability. I would have been out of pocket and would have lost my no claim bonus if she had just taken off or refused to accept that it was her fault.
Plus, with the road rage mania in Sydney it will help get a prosecution or even identify my killer
Yep I have one, DR400 as well with the PowerMagic Pro kit so it records while the car is off as well, when there is motion. Has speed, GPS, recording is good enough to catch plates night or day, records sound too (not really useful feature but hey) dunno what else to say really other than it has been through two extremely hot summers and is still flawless - most cheapies do not survive summer.
Install is also completely stealth, cable runs up into roof lining with the mirror and down pillar, is hidden perfectly behind the mirror. I have never needed it but it only needs to cover me for a single insurance incident and it has paid for itself as my excess is more than the value of the camera. They are useless for getting you out of speeding fines though, unless you can somehow use the footage to prove another car was captured or something - police will not care at all what your camera's speed readout says if it is not in line with their speed equipment. I know of someone who has one who got out of a fine when a cop said he saw him run an orange when he could have stopped, but he used the footage to prove when he went through he did not have sufficient time to stop and the fine was waived.
...also check for how long the cam records after you've locked your car. The PowerMagic box will only power the cam until the battery voltage drops to preset level.

It does it by time or voltage drop whichever comes first LOL
Havent had a flat battery in the two years I have had mine but I only have Park on for an hour. Voltage cutout is set at 12V
One must also be careful to set sensitivity low as mine will pick up someone walking along 50metres or more away

I recommend the blackvue. I currently have the 600hd front mounted only. My previous car I had the 550hd. Great tool. I had my auto electrician hard wire to the accessory switch. So the camera comes on with the ignition. My car is Mk7 Golf R, the camera mounts in the dark shadow above the mirror and looks down across the bonnet. Has 32G storage, which averages about a months driving. It can be viewed live with ipad or iPhone via Bluetooth.

A DR 600GW HD will record about 9.5 hours max at highest resolution. It then overwrites the oldest files.
When on holiday in the USA recently mine would only record one and a bit days driving before overwriting.
As far as I am aware they connect via WIFI. None of them have Bluetooth.
