[AT] OT - Dash cams

[William Powell]

I have a cheap one that i got off amazon. It works ok. I need to remember
do reformat my memory card from time to time. It fills up due to hard

motorcycle footage because my writeable memory was down to 15 minutes. I
should have bought a bigger sd card.

Check the reviews on amazon.
