Smile Dash/Windshield Cam
I put a dash cam (ATC-2K) in my CLK430.
It's made by Oregon Scientific.

This thing is really cool.


Here's a couple of pics of my ATC-2K installed in my CLK430.

That looks like a cool camera! I have a "helmet cam" that I use to tie into my video camera. It works really well at track days.

It records to a 2 GB SD card.

It will record 60 minutes in 640x480 resolution at 30fps.
At lower resolutions it could record I believe the manul said like 10-12 hours.

It takes only 2 AA batteries.They are supposed last for three hours of recording. So far I used it for about 2 hours total so far.

At only $100.00 this cam kicks ***.

Cool idea but, I'm curious why you want a dash cam though? Seems like it would get old watching your commute after having lived it...

Well you never know when the footage may come in handy.

My insurance company would appreciate some footage if some Jack A** pulled out in front of me.



Other youtube video examples.

Drivers now a day do what they want and it's good to have a little extra insurance just in case.


Safe driving people!
