Re: OT but still about cameras. Dash Cameras.

Bruce, From what I understood, some have low-light (possibly IR?) sensitivity, while others rely on what shows in the headlights. Baby monitors and surveillance IP cams that are in a comparable price range have somewhat similar properties, and seem to provide similar quantity images. Igor

Darren, I use the same approach in researching item, but let me warn you about this product. Do not trust the reviews score, instead read a few negative reviews. It was introduce to Amazon less than half a month ago (July 22, 2015): http://camelcamelcamel.com/Vafru-NHD-1080P-170Degrees-dashbo

Bill, For the reasons similar to yours, I've been looking for a dash camera on and off. I couldn't single out any particular cam (and that probably prevented me from buying one). Also, I concluded that user reviews are important, as some cameras fall short on delivering the quality despite th
