I leave it in the car even though it's not hardwired. My dashcam is too difficult to take out, you have to take off the mount before unscrewing the dashcam off.

wow this threads been dead for awhile eh... guess everyone just uses the dangerous drivers thread 
Anyway
I'll be buying dashcams as christmas gifts...or hoping too anyway time is running out
got any suggestions on brands? its been a long time since i recall reading about dash cams last i recall Blackvues fail under the sun, don't know if that's changed
have any of you heard of Lukas? Full HD 
they seem nice and small, which is one of my concerns i dont want to be giving out cams which seem too large for the windshield
how about the Thinkware products that are sold at FS et al? Thinkware F550 Full HD Dashcam With GPS (F550) : Back Up Cameras & Dash Cams - Future Shop 
reminds me of the blackvue (same company?) apparently its won a Red Dot award (and others) but im reading about poor QC :/

I have lukas.. works fine. Read them up at Dashcamtalk. If you don't get ones with Sony CMOS, they will be ones made by Samsung.
If you give away dashcams.. help the owners put in the system too.

Don't get the thinkware stuff. Although the technology is there - it's really great hardwired. The quality lacks a ton, you can barely read the license plate of the car next to you.

Personlly, I don't really like Lukas cameras. The video quality for the two cameras that I've tested before were both horrible (for it's price), the LK7300 and LK7900. I don't know if they've stepped up their game now with their newer cams, but I would rather not take the risk and spend the same amount of money and get a Blackvue or Finevu.

Anyone have experience getting a G1W/G1WH locally?
a site called www.whatcams.ca has them, but i'd feel better about going to a sponsor or shop where people have had experience.

Yeah Alex is a good guy. Highly recommend him.
Whatcams is also run by a fellow RS member so can't go wrong with them either.

Question for those running a dashcam with power magic pro.
Is your dash cam running >8 hours a day due to you being parked outdoors during your regular work/school hours? If so, did you find your car battery life to be much shorter than usual?
TIA

I think I'll have to replace my dashcam soon. It sometimes doesn't turn on or freezes. Also the battery life is horrible.

TIA | If you drive your car everyday, the car battery will charge and you should be okay. My friend sometimes doesn't drive his car for a week, dashcam with pmp turned off and he car wouldn't even start. Mind you his car is only one year old.

I drive my car everyday without running a power magic pro and haven't had issues with my battery being discharged. Took about a few days for it to drain when I parked my MR2 last winter

Got a Garmin Dash Cam 20 from my parents for my birthday last week, but I wasn't sure if I wanted GPS/speed sensor capability. Dad took it back, bought a Dash Cam 10 (exact same camera but without GPS/speed sensor) and I'm installing the updates and stuff right now. Reviews on this thing are pretty favourable, and I'm excited to see what it'll catch. I'll probably need a larger microSD card though, don't think 4GB will cut it.
