These cameras seem to be one of the hot items at the moment and I can see the benefits of having one if you are involved in an accident.

why worry about dash cams? My new mobile phone has a camera and can take 2 hours of video. I can even film with the phone in my shirt pocket as the lens is very near the top of the phone.
