• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

I've always had a mount with a mini video cam. It works ok but the field of view is pretty limited so I'm always making adjustments.

What do you have? I'm not looking to break the bank. This is strictly for chasing purposes.
 
So I made the upgrade this year I switched to a HDMI Capture card for my HD camcorder.

Pyle PHDRCB48 HDMI Video Capture Device

It is SUCH an improvement from a webcam as a dash cam.
 
I'm still running a chinese knockoff HD go-pro. Its not great, but it works. I can usually get 5 hours before switching 32GB micro-SD cards. It will run directly from my car's USB power so batteries not an issue. Next year I may upgrade to something hardwired with front and rear views, for chasing and just regular commute.
 
Thank you Bill for the plug :) Unfortunately I stopped doing reviews a couple of years ago - the dashcam field is evolving too fast to keep up with, plus the folks at http://dashcamtalk.com have been doing a great job of keeping up with all of the latest models and current recommendations. On my site I do have a couple of thoughts and experiences on using dashcams vs Gopros for chasing if that is of any interest.
