Dash cam with LCD screen

[Barrett Dorner]

After checking out the other camera posts, I thought I'd pass this along.

It's at http://www.fc2camera.com/, then click "FC HD Dash Cam" (since I can't post a direct link).

I emailed them to see if the USB allows for streaming and I've yet to hear back. Still, after reading the GoPro HD posts, I thought some of you might be interested in it just for normal recording.

Edit: In case there's any question, I'm not recommending this product -- nor do I have any connection to the company -- just throwing it out there. Figured I'd clarify since it's my first post...

Looks interesting. Only issue I would have with it is the internal battery. Most small HD cams that have internal batteries drain them like there's no tomorrow.

Barrett have you heard anything back?

As a matter of fact, I was just going to post the update.

Their dash cam does not have the ability to work as a web cam -- but, apparently another one of their cameras does. Still, then you lose the LCD screen and, to me, that was the whole point.

I'm going back to the cheap consumer camera idea, but if any of you explore the fire helmet cams -- call their hotline, don't use the email if you have any questions. My email apparently never went through, so I called and had a response in just a few hours.
