See <http://www.skycraftsurplus.com/0280-6803dvrledflashlightli-ion.aspx>

Well not a Go-Pro camera, but may be sufficient for a "dash-cam" for a
bicycle. Only VGA resolution.

A 1080p version is at <http://www.dx.com/351975> but is much more expensive.

NOTHING I do is worthy of imaging.

sms, when I access utube ( with SOUND OFF) then after viewing move into relted material, and leave the utube channel running unseed, am I accumulating download time with that unseen screen still running ?

I know I'm not sms, but I thought I'd jump in:

Yes. For the video to display on your screen, it still has to be transmitted (downloaded) to your computer / handheld, whether you're looking at it or not.

300k pixel sensor - probably would not catch the license plate on the
car that ran you off the road.

Sensor unknown. 180 degree field - probably poor resolution picture.
Many of these are low-res sensors that do upsampling for fake
high-res.

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn


or, the video transmission from utube runs forward in time into my PC. The running connection is evidence the download continues, seen on screen, or unturned off in a tab and not seen on screen ????

yes ?

Skycraft has been around for ages. Used to buy stuff from them when I
lived in Florida. They used to get a lot of surplus from aerospace
companies. They have expanded to selling stuff from China.
