I've been thinking about those small video cameras that had several threads running after a car driver cut right in front of me approaching traffic lights but when I had a look on the 7dayshop site they don't seem to be available now.
Can I ask if those who bought them if they sill work and are they still using them?
Has anyone bought or seen anything similar lately?
Thanks.

Do a search on ebay for mini dv car camera or if you prefer the camera built in to sunglasses do a search for mini dv spy sunglasses.

Make sure you get the 8gb sd card supplied or find a supplier for this. I've got both and they are OK (so far). I like the camera built in to the sunglasses even though my videos are mostly of the road 10 feeet ahead of me.

I'm still using the CAR DVR torch style camera. Its been excellent and survived all my tests! I looked last week and they were still available... I'll see if I can find it again ... I also bought some goggles but they failed a RAIN test! ... and I haven't been able to use them since! ..:( ...

found the CAR DVR - its 14:99! ... but you will have to get your own SD card. I use an 8gb card which easily records my 50 minute commute to work. I clear it down at work and charge it (for about an hour) and its ok for the journey home ...

Thanks!

I tried searching the site and although the search terms tried found some other video cameras I just couldn't find that one.

I also did a bit of a search and came up with one at dinodirect that comes with a handlebar mount too, a couple of batteries (which have less than 50% capacity of the 7dayshop one, and has 8 white leds around the lens so works down to 1 lux (not sure how useful that would be, but chances are the battery will get flat faster).

I've got a couple of 8Gb micro SD card that I used with a DS Lite that's no longer used, I just need to find it!

Yes. Thanks. Where did you mount it on your bike? Do you have any photos? .. Also, do you have any video clips that we can look at? ...
