the guys in aussie have been using them for a while and they are super cheap so you can tape them on your car in all sorts of places.

heres a website about the keychain ones, you can also get a cigarette lighter sized one which would be easier to tape to something

IF YOU DO SOME GOOGLING ON "808 hd CAMERA" OR "MD80 clone camera" youll come up with them....
i think ill buy one of those key chain one and see what they are like.

if you are looking at them then try and get one that records in 720P, there are about 20 different revision versions of the 808 keychain camera and not all have HD recording, and some versions have better quality camera etc...

those are nice but 8x the price. theres another good one you can get for about 50 to 80 bucks i think its a carcam k2000 or something similar.

the mx5 racers in aus rave about them and how cheap they are (AU$45 each)

aint tekmanology great!

As a total side note that bottom vid in the jaycar site was a road i used to drive nearly every day when i lived in Australia. Pretty sure thats the road from silverwater to just east of parramatta. it was like de ja vu.
