go pro 3+, set for continuous recording, it keeps recording but deletes the old as you record new. just hook it up so it plugs into your power outlet in your van and just turn it on when you drive.

Been wanting to do the same thing myself - Florida has has a unique breed of drivers. 1 in 5 non-insured as well.

Before investing in a Go Pro, try a cheap on first, see if it works for you.

John Olson has one in his truck but don't kno the brand as is fairly easy to use. Also has a view finder/screen right on the unit and comes ready to mount to windshield.

I got the one I use for under $100. Its a stealth cam. I love my gopros but not putting a $400 camera on the windshield. http://www.gsmoutdoors.com/shopping/stealth-cam/vehicle-cameras.aspx

John is it good enough for license plate Id. How's it night vision.

Well as for night vision its "ok" it really isn't night vision but night illumination. It shoots in 1080 so the play back is really crisp and with the right editing you can zoom in and read the tag on the drivers tee shirt if you wanted Ok maybe not quite that good but for $100 (I paid 60ish on a dvor.com special sale) it does what I wanted it to. I ordered it after lora got hit in the front sitting at the red turn signal.

I know the LEDs they put on them are useless at night but the right Camera setup could use the ambient light. I don't use the work truck at night much anyways but was just curious. Thanks
