Potato cam!
I must have their nano cam then, because that one does 1080p. They look identical
Will still get you out of trouble for an insurance claim etc I rekon
if you want a brick and mortar shop then the Harvey Norman Laser Navig8r 720p HD Sports Camera for $35 would be better -Video Size HD 1280 x 720
Don't even bother with anything less than 1080p with 30fps. Ideally 60fps. Anything less just doesn't show enough detail or the it is only a very narrow view. I have found even with 1080p @ 30fps things like number plates can be moving too fast in the frame by the time they are readable to be read. Sure if all you want to know "it was a blue car that came out of nowhere" then a lesser camera will be fine.
I'd rather have something that did 5Mpixel (or greater) stills, a few times a second. More likely you'll be able to read numberplate details.
Stills are good enough for red-light cameras, so why are dashcams using video? Unless it's for the ability to post to youtube afterwards.
Do you have any specific brand/model you want to share?
I wouldn't say I want to share it, but I saw this one yesterday, and the description is so vague that I'm not sure it actually does video. AFAICT it does do repeated stills at up to 12 megapixels (probably interpolated, not actual camera resolution):
http://www.buyincoins.com/item/66309.htmlIt made me wonder whether video is the best option, as usually people complain that dashcams can't read number plates well.
Red light cameras are triggered by very distinct timings in a very defined location.
From a car you have many things happening even within 1 second. Trying to take even five still images per second is very hard. Video encoding relies on looking for the changes between frames, thus using less storage space.
In the age of 4k and FHD, VGA should be a banned and punishable acronym.
