The dashcam is a VIOFO B40 A118C Novatek 96650, pictured below. It comes under many names from China, the Viofo is the brand I chose because the reviewer I watched on Youtube bought that one. They are a Chinese vendor on eBay and with their own website and shipped this to me from their L.A. warehouse in 3 days for $79 delivered. It's much smaller than it appears, may 1" x 3" with a small 1.5" screen which is on the side facing away from the photo.
Since there are a 100 or more different brands and models, and most all are made in China. I studied them for about a week and decided on this model because of the feedback and reviews. One important fact is this uses a capacitor and not a battery, which can explode under the Florida sun since these units will sit just inside your windshield, but make sure you order the unit with A118C (capacitor). It uses a micro 32gb card which will store about 8 hours of video and then loops back and records over. If there is something you want to keep, just remove the card and download it. The videos are broken down into 5 minute increments, but playback seamless, that helps you find that section you want to see.
Most all of these different dashcams will have their share of negative feedback, but this one had the least. It was also cheap and smaller then most of the others. It attaches with adhesive and comes with the cable to run to your accessory or lighter socket. Took me about an hour to install, most running the wire and hiding it around the dash.
