In car video - fraud prevention

[stigmundfreud]

All, I am getting more and more paranoid about drivers fraudulently causing accidents. In the past few weeks several drivers have performed stunts that could only have been aimed for me to crash into them and then claim from me. I am also a bit paranoid about over eager bib so would like recommendations for a good quality recording kit that turns on with the ignition, records without too much shake and has a big enough recording capacity to cover long distance drives, potentially automatically going back and over writing as it runs out of memory. Solid state would be the best option to prevent head crashes in a crash.

Any ideas?

Bullet cam in the sun visor linked to a solid state drive maybe? Dogcam Sport did a decent kit that had audio as well if you wanted to capture the moment in all it's glory and I think it was SD card based

Should be simple enough?

Something like this:

connected to a HDD video cam would be easy.

thanks guys! Thinking that mounting in the front air dam might be the best option? Like the idea of the night vision too. I presume all I would need to do is hook it to a cam corder and it would start recording as soon as I press the button?

I'd be hoping it could be all wired into the cars power source so I do not have to worry about batteries and charging etc. As for microphone location where would be good? I was thinking perhaps in the air box/engine bay

This is a closer fit to your description but maybe you're not paranoid to the tune of £280

Depends how much his excess is really

While I like the idea. Don't forget that it may also be used as evidence against you should you do something silly.
