I inadvertently turned to mother Russia for this.
If you hunt around on Google Play, roughly 100% of Android dashcam apps are Russian.

Unfortunately my phone is pretty low end so I can't try half the apps, but I did get a couple and am going to give them a go. I got the second highest tier 16gb Sandisk micro SD card today ($36 :cry:) and I'm going to shove my phone in the surprisingly well made for its price ($9) cheap shop phone holder and go for a drive.

Not expecting miracles but it should be interesting because the apps offer things like velocity and looped recording. There's one that record the route as you are driving but my lovely phone isn't compatible.

I'll try to upload a little footage. It won't be interesting but it'll be indicative of how these free apps fare.

Just on that SD card thing. The cardboard blister pack thing was covered in claims that it was great for Android phones. The cheaper one was sold out and the more expensive one (Sandisk Extreme) while probably awesome like the SSD in this computer, was unnecessary. Good micro/SD cards are worth it. Don't cheap out.

Is there any chance the first post can be updated with the current cams to buy or whatever?

Pretty dull here but I travel pretty often. I've seen things. So many things. I really want to share them, and in a few cases upload them to the Police's service for this kind of thing. Some people shouldn't be allowed near a tricycle on an abandoned airstrip let alone a vehicle in the same postcode as other living organisms.
