Cheap little ebay "Key Chain" cameras
Been using this for about 2-3 months in th car & bike.Mostly for a video record to/from work, incase of an accident.There about $18, or less.Depending on the seller, but 99% are from an asian country.I got this one for $8, plus $5 for a 4GB card.Video quality is pretty damn good.Especially for a cheapo cam.Sound quality is ok.Overall, very pleased with it.
Also takes 2 min vids based on motion sensing.4GB card is good for about 60-65 minutes of video.Came w/ 2-3 mounts, silicone sleeve, usb cable & broken english instructions!I made my own little mounts though for the car & bike.

Re: Cheap little ebay "Key Chain" cameras
I for one for my dirtbike, I paid around $20 shipped for it, seems like they've gotten even cheaper since then. I was impressed with the video quality on my bike, I know in a car it'd be even better.

Re: Cheap little ebay "Key Chain" cameras
i would buy 4, one for the front, one for the rear, and one for left and right, you never know, you could catch some 90 year old dancing and make it a You tube sensation and get all your money back

Re: Cheap little ebay "Key Chain" cameras
I wouldnt mind an 2nd one either, facing back or incase one breaks.
Drawbacks:
Near impossible to set the time/date stamp.
Dont put too much faith on the mounts.My swivel one broke after 2 weeks.
You'll love the "engrish" instruction manual.

Re: Cheap little ebay "Key Chain" cameras
I've used a bunch of the ones that look like car alarm remotes but are basically the same as the one in the original post. The #3 is the best non-HD version and can be had on eBay delivered for $15 or less (then you need to get the memory card) The best HD one available now is the #16.
Here's a site that will tell you everything you need to know about all the versions of these things. It will also help you spot "fake" ones:

Re: Cheap little ebay "Key Chain" cameras
yep they are fascists. i have to ask a local court official or police officer what is officially legal in this matter . because also law states you need to notify anyone that your are recording them with an audio capture device

Re: Cheap little ebay "Key Chain" cameras
that can be easily remedied with a sticker or plaque that says "youre being recorded" in plain view on the car.
