★★★★★ PAPAGO GS272-US GoSafe 272 Ultra Slim Full HD 1080P Dashcam - Amazon

Here's the exact same product on Amazon: http://amzn.to/2tSL9f5 How it works: Turn on your car and it auto-starts recording. It captures full HD and audio. As it records, it records over the older footage first ("loop recording"). If you get in an accident, simply pop out the SD card to save the recording, or if you forget to save the recording, there's a G-forces function that auto-locks that footage so it won't erase over it. Summary: I've tested a lot of dash cams and this is my favorite thus far. I use this dash cam on my Toyota Tundra whilst navigating the awful Seattle traffic. (it's BAD here, especially when it rains) After witnessing 3 car accident within the past couple months, I finally am equipping my vehicle with something so I can upload these awesome videos to YouTube. ("Oh Beau, have you no shame?") But really the main wife-giving reason is to keep me accountable when someone hits me and I need police proof. Odds are if they're stupid enough to hit you, they're stupid enough to deny it was their fault. There are a ton of features, which you may sift through but allow me to offer a few of my personal favorites. Pros: - Minimalist design. Hides completely behind my review mirror (unlike other dash cams I've tested). - Very easy menu interface (again, unlike other dash cams I've tested!). - HD resolution: 1080p means you can zoom in on the footage later and grab license plates. - 60fps option (at 720p only). If you're looking for slow-motion, 60fps will make your slow motion more smooth. - Handy "auto-dim" feature. I have the LCD screen go black after 15 seconds so the bright light won't distract. - Huge field of vision: 140 degree field of vision (viewing angle) is one of the widest I've ever seen in a dash cam. - Tiny, non-obtrusive timestamp, which can be turned off. Some dash cams have HUGE timestamps, which are annoying. Cons: - Doesn't come with a Micro SD card. Note: The size 2gb (Micro SD Card) does NOT work. I had to use my 32gb MicroSD card, which works perfectly... it's just I didn't really need 5 hours of solid footage. 32gbs is a ton of memory. Just be aware that you'll have to spend another couple bucks buying a Micro SD Card when buying this dash cam, unless you have a spare card laying around the house. Video format: It records to .AVI, which isn't my favorite. I wish is was MP4 or MOV or even some other compressed format. Granted AVI *should* be a universal codec, however it takes up a lot of space (5 hours on my 32gb card), plus you'll have trouble playing it on your Macbook Pro (I've never had trouble with AVI before on my Mac, but this codec takes the cake. Althought VLC plays it.). If you're a Windows user, you should be fine. You will need to either upload the video directly to YouTube (which it uploads and plays perfectly), or if you want to edit it first say in Final Cut, you'll have to convert the footage (Example: AVI -- MPEG4). Also I did receive a sample in exchange for a thorough test and review. Every driver should have this dash cam. Honestly I think insurance companies should give these out for free or give people discounts for having them.
