Any recommendations for a low cost dash cam?

@kainic Here's what I've been using for a few years. It just stays plugged in and provides piece of mind in case my Mrs. needs to prove the other guy took me out! 😉

Thanks!  Looks like a cost effective solution.  How's the clarity of the video through the front screen?

@kainic Clarity is fine, just keep the windscreen reasonably clean and you'll have no issues. Audio on the other hand is terrible,  it picks up vibration and is basically unusable for posting videos unless you lay down a separate sound track.  For it's intended purpose as a dash cam, it works fine.

Updating this, I've put my camera in a waterproof GoPro case and filed a hole to allow a charging cord a path to keep it running whenever the key is on. A USB adapter in the accessory plug handles that duty along with providing a port to charge my TPMS.   Utilizing the BT app " FinalCamX" allows video downloads without having to remove the windscreen and case to access the SD card.
