Recommendations for a permanently mounted bike cam?

[scracha]

Anyone mounted a camera recording system permanently on their bike?

Wondering what to use that will just come on and charge up with the ignition and just constantly record in a loop, say 1 or 2 hours of riding? Something that won't turn to crap after a year or two and that could be used to dispute a bullshit speeding charge or help refresh the memory of some cager that pulls out in front of me? . Don't particularly want it mounted on the tank (in case I've been a naughty boy) but hidden behind the fairing. Ideally with built in GPS or some other sort of speed recorder

just need some record software built for Win CE.......maybe you could steal the software off a cellphone or something.

Couple of ideas here:

Small bullet camera linked via AV cable to solid state DVR under the seat. Wire it to a 12v supply on the bike and you can record, delete, re-record as much as you like.

There are plenty of devices like this out there - in general they are activated by a hard braking or acceleration, and save video/audio/GPS whatever from 15 sec before the incident to 15 sec after.

Useful for proving who was at fault in an accident - yes, but for disputing speeding you'd only have the GPS data and that may count for nothing as "proof".

There was some video on the news a while ago about some rubbish trucks that had theses installed (not this particular one, but similar) and some of the near miss incidents they captured were gold!

Do I detect a hint of sarcasm? I had a little flycam that could be 12v powered and recorded over the oldest video (SD card) automagically but the quality was shit. There must be stuff out there that does it.

Now if the contour GPS cam could auto record with power on and record over oldest video automatically......

what's missing feature wise from what I linked to, and the first one you yourself linked to?

DVR + bulletcam based solution. Nearly $600. No GPS.

TBH, after wasting money on crap CMOS 1.3 megapixel glorified webcams that fade badly in sunlight and stop working after 7 months, if I'm gonna be spending that sort of money on a recording device then I'd be looking for at least 720p quality at minimum of 15fps.

The bulletcam with mini DVR solutions seem to be far better products. Get what ya pay for I guess.

If the 4Kam had GPS I'd probably go for it.
If the contour automagically recorded over oldest video I'd probably go for it.
