Dash cam for Android that loops endlessly in five or ten minuteloops?

A friend told me of a road-rage incident he witnessed
where we discussed that it might be nice to set up
our Android phones as dash cams.

All it would need is a looping mechanism, where the
video file size is fixed at a user-set level, say,
100MB (or whatever).

Does this dash-cam video looping Android app exist?

 

I suggest you add misc.phone.mobile.android to your NG search for this
information and drop rec.photo.digital.

Then this might help.

Per Eddie Powalski:

Yes. Several exist, but when I tried a few the real-world usability
fell short of a relatively-cheap dedicated cam. The hassle of bringing
up the app and aiming the phone, for instance.

AFIK, all dedicated dashcams automagically recycle SD card space and
most have a provision for moving selected clips to a folder whose
contents is not part of the recycle process.

There are some quite-good dedicated devices tested on TechMoan.com. He's
got a favorite that's less than a hundred bucks, although I cannot cite.

I've got two: a higher-end cam (as in $250) facing forward and an
el-cheapo (as <$80) in facing rearward.

Lower-end dashcams take some researching. The market is full of
look-alike/ripoff/clones of the real deals. Expect to pay 20% more to
buy from somebody with a reputation and have some assurance that you get
what you expect.

Higher-end cams allow the user to mark the currently-recorded clip and,
with my front-facing cam, all I have to do is tilt the recorder part of
the cam to trip the g-sensor and the clip is marked. Most cams with
this feature have a button on the camera... mine has a separate body for
the recording apparatus.

However I still have the feeling that when the big one happens, I'll be
left falling short in terms of recorded coverage.

My own take is that the real solution is a sort of micro-DVR with maybe
a half-dozen cams recording simultaneously. Such devices exist, but
all the ones I've seen so far are CCTV - and the rez of CCTV is, IMHO,
inadequate.
