So, I might have found the camera I want.

Monoprice MHD Sport Wifi Action Camera. I'm pretty sure its brand new, because its not for sale yet, and there are no mentions of it anywhere on the interwebs. I've seen reviews on their other Action Camera, and it seems good for the price (80 bucks at the moment), but I want something with wifi, and I want something that will let me start it remotely. This one seems to do both. It will be $176 once it goes on sale, and I can afford that. Sooooo as long as it doesn't have any terrible reviews once it comes out, I think I've found the one.

Crossing my fingers for dashcam capabilities...

Doubt it, but possible. I just use my old smartphone as a dashcam

I use my current smartphone, but would rather keep it all separate.

That's not a lot of $$$ for features. Will need to see video quality. For now can't see myself getting anything but a GoPro Hero3 once my Hero2 dies (or sinks, gets run over, etc)

Video/sound quality will kill this I bet. I don't know of any normal cameras for sub-$200 that have GoPro quality video and sound.

Here's to being optimistic and hoping someone actually brings a lower-priced option to the game though!

The video quality on their other cam isn't nearly as good as a GoPro but its not bad or anything. Still 1080p

Hmmm....promising.

Sound quality? If I put a camera on my car, it better pick up my supercharger whine or else it's useless lol.

I thought about going the Monoprice route, then I realized I can get a universal smartphone wide angle lens for less than $10 and a suction mount for half that. I'm sure there's some sort of app, maybe tasker, that will let you start video remotely.

It may be that I'm broke, but for me, $15 vs. $80 is an easy choice to make.
