My dad wants me and my brothers to buy him a dash-cam for Fathers Day. I'm not sure what he wants to capture, though he did write off his last car hitting a cow and he loves the Russian crash compilations on Youtube.
Anyone got one, have some feedback on whats good, what not. There are so many different models out there I don't really know where to start.
Jaycar have some good models, some more features than others. . Office works has some that are good, but when we tested it, kept falling off holder.
Went the Jaycar model for around the $120 mark
Thanks Mineral, there is a Jaycar in Joondalup so I will pop in there and have a look.
A powered cradle and dashcam app might be a good idea if dad had a phone newer than the one technophobe Mark_Australia uses 
If he wishes to use it for legal purposes, make sure it time stamps the recording else it won't stand up to scrutiny.
I think the Navman sat nav's allow for camera integration as well

Well, you can swap the videos or your dash-cam now

I admit its a fair time ago that I risked melting my brain by reading all the fine print on a vehicle policy, but when I did, there was a bit that said not to admit any liability-or name your insurance company.
All you could say was "I am insured", and swap contact details and then let the insurance companies fight it out.
I can understand the idea behind not saying "its my fault", but never could work out the bit about naming your insurance company.

I would check the dunnies at work as well Chris 
Sell 'em here for about $40. Time-stamps and record a variety of G-forces.
There's an app for it too if you have the iPhones.
