I guess I'll try and save all the juicy footage off my dash cam and upload it somewhere for your few seconds of glory once in a while, or the few seconds of my near-"code brown" moments. Whichever you choose to call it.
I know I need to fix the date/time on my dash cam, but that's a little besides the point. Driving home last night I saw something that didn't look right ahead of me, so I slowed down, got around the turn, and bam, a damn deer herd. I'm no stranger to hitting deer, so we'll just say I'm glad I was already going somewhat slow, and had more than enough time to stop. I'll have to try and get the dash cam back on the windshield though, the perspective is a little wonky on the dash, so it does look considerably farther away than it actually is (I was only about 30 or so feet away when I stopped, from 35 to 25 to 0, rather quickly. Thanks snow tires!).

I have the same dash cam! I just started using it yesterday, quite impressed so far.

I got it for it's cheapness mainly, and because I just absolutely needed one . Can't say I'm disappointed by it. Obviously it's better in daylight, but it's also better than no cam at all. I'm looking to probably get another one just for the SL, and a third for the rear of the HEMIWagon. But just like you, I'm very impressed by it's capability for the price. Night vision is iffy, but still good enough.
I'm tempted to get a 1080p cam, but at the same time, it just needs to capture what's going on, I certainly don't need massive files or anything else. The camera already paid for itself, so there's that too. I have a 32gb Samsung Evo weatherproof MicroSD card in it, in the hopes that it's immune to the heat, cold and humidity of basically living in the car 24/7. Well worth the purchase for a decently good cam.
I also know that many people that work for my old insurance company bought them after seeing my footage. You can run, you can hide, but you can't escape the dash cam.
