I have been kicking around adding one myself. I found a few units that were combo GPS and Dashcam all in one.
I would like to find one that will write to my android phone as I drive around so I can just upload the video to google drive and not have to think about it.

So for these dashcams, do they usually come with a wire running straight down from the windshield into the cigarette power? i'm assuming you'll have to cut this if you want it hardwired?
I almost got into an accident like OP's 3rd video on a single lane road. Luckily, the car blocked only half of my lane and I was able to swerve off the road in time

cut the cigarette plug part off, take the black wire and put it to ground, red power wire to the "add a fuse" thing and tap onto an accessory fuse

if you get a blackvue you can also get the power magic pro which keeps the cam recording/standby while the car is off. it'll record when it "sees" somebody moving in the cameras view, or it senses a shock from the shock sensors.

and this video is really cool. i was at the search in the north bay for the missing 9 year old girl in samuel p taylor park two months ago, still in uniform, i had just left the sheriffs office on my way home when i saw a lot of cars backing up on my offramp which never happens, then i see this dog running down the side of the freeway! so i pull over to help get it, and just as i'm getting out of my car it was headed into fast moving traffic! this van slams on its brakes, clips the dog injuring one of its rear legs, the dog runs off into the dirt limping which is where i was able to get her to come to me. another person had stopped and had a leash to help, i thought it was the owner at first but it was a random girl. we got the dog in my car and i drove her back to the sheriffs office i just came from and left her with our animal shelter people.
she was fine other than the leg injury which wasn't bad. she could have been creamed by that fast moving van!!!
pic of the dog sitting in my car all happy-go-lucky

it didn't have a tracking ID, but the out of town owners had called the animal shelter just an hour after i dropped it off there and she was quickly picked up. her leg wasn't broken, but one of her toe nails got ripped off and was bleeding. very lucky dog. had that van not slammed on the brakes it would have been toast for sure.
[QUOTE=LxJLthr;3545942]Was there a 4-way stop at the intersection or just 2-way (looked like the intersecting street was 1-way)? It looked like the SUV did a California roll through the stop sign (or at least didn't wait for traffic to pass) right into the path of the Golf.
And this is why I hate SF cyclists, the dude just obliviously blew through the intersection without slowing or stopping (especially with his view obstructed by the SUV). He is supposed to slow down enough to touch the stop line with his foot. F*****s think they own the roads.
YOU ARE Wrong---- The Golf Blew the Stop Sign.....Look at the video from the youtube site for the timing of the video Also the cyclist was a friend of mine!!!!!!! Accident happened on Sutter & Steiner Streets 4way stop and that's not Downtown! Damn Everyone is always blaming the Cyclists and using the F*****

Yea that was a four way stop. But if your friend would have stopped too, he could have avoided it. How are they anyways? Hope he fully recovered.

Is it any wonder why Irrational is one of the only people on iclub I have ever put on ignore and blocked?
Anyways, still trying to find a unit that can stream bluetooth to an app on the phone rather than use its own memory card.

Golf definitely ran the stop sign. You can see the stop sign for the other direction on the right.
The CRV looks to have made a complete stop. It was super brief, but there is no amount of time legally.
Cyclist didn't stop though. They have to follow road rules, so he was supposed to stop, not just roll through.
Hope he's okay.

I would just write a program so you you can use the wifi signal to dump the media files from the card it self onto your preferred external data storage with a bugle board or something.
