They also have a cable where you can directly connect the power cable through a fused line. That wasn't included in my box, but i head its available.
Still waiting for more info from my friend...

very cool. On the way to work the other day I saw a guy in an S2000 with a recorder mounted on the top of the windshield. This would be cool to record yourself on the track or just a mountain drive

I installed this over the weekend and it's definitely no suction cup. It's a 3M double sided gel type of tape and once you put it on, it's hard to take it off. First time when I installed it, i missed the spot and had to use an old credit card to scrap it off and it still wouldn't come off.

Data acquisition systems (including video cameras) and the accom- panying sensors are allowed but may serve no purpose during the run other than real-time display and data recording.

The picture is pretty clear, but even after you stopped right behind the vehicle infront of you in traffic, I still can't make out its plate. What good would this do as far as catching the guy? It'd be cool for a joy ride on some mountainous roads, or tracking like others have posted, but I don't think it'll help you much with catching the guy. Your best bet is to step on it, and go after him. I know I wouldn't have let him get away. Good luck.

I agree with the the clearness of the images, but this unit has audio feature, so instead of trying to memorize the plate number or even jot it on a notepad, you can just yell out the license plate number. I'm sure the cops can match the car with the plate.

i do not know if saying out loud the license plate number would hold up in the court of law (which i assume would be used as evidence). but one thing for sure is not everyone is going to remember to say this out loud, because something can happen very fast and you may not have time or react fast enough to read off the plate number. but this recorder is better than nothing at all.

that's good. I did a quick check of SCCA stock class rules and it looks like they'd be permitted as long as they are not providing useful info to the driver during the run.
I bet you could sell a ton of these at track days, especially if you had a laptop setup to demo the playback and data aspect.

I think this device looks very cool for street use, and maybe even capturing some spirited driving in closed conditions but for track use all those extra sensors make the data much more useful. Even in my wife's fairly simple system (compared to the higher end stuff like Stack) she's got GPS location w/ 2 axis accelerometer, steering angle, water temp, oil pressure, brake pressure, RPM, speed, battery voltage, air/fuel ratio, fuel pressure. Hers is a Racepak G2x. Can overlay all that data on video from any source w/ different graphic dashboards (here is an older example from her car)
Sorry for the off topic

Good Question. I actually had the same question before I installed this device. I doubt this would be illegal unless it's blocking your view. The way I have this positioned, only 0.5 inch of the bottom will stick out below the review mirror.
I've been tied up with few things, but as soon as I have some time, I'm post new pictures.

I just installed Spy Tec K1S Dual Car Dash Camera , very good quality of video and you can see very easy license plates of other cars near you.
Also here is link of video about this product:
