The G1W from your link was in my top 3 choices, but a slightly different version, the G1W-CB. It's same unit but the 'CB' stands for capacitor black. The 'B' means the silver ring on the front around lens is black, making it harder to see from the outside looking in. The 'C' stands for capacitor, which I had an mentioned in an earlier post about why I bought the unit I did. In Florida you don't want a unit with a battery, the heat inside the windshield can make them explode. Here's a link to a G1W-CB [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Black-Box-G1W-CB-Capacitor-Dashboard/dp/B00P8F3LD0/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1427044016&sr=8-3&keywords=g1w-c+dashcam]Amazon.com : Black Box G1W-CB "Black Bezel" Capacitor Model Dashboard Dash Cam - Heat Resistant - Full HD 1080P H.264 2.7" LCD Car DVR Camera Video Recorder - WDR 140° Wide Angle 4x Zoom with Motion Detection Night Vision G-Sensor - NT96650 + AR0330 [/ame]


I decided against the G1W-CB because it's fairly good size, it's probably 3 times bigger than the one I have. The best way to judge for yourself is to go on Youtube. There are hundreds of dashcam reviews, comparisons and side-by-side video from the units. Also, on Amazon there are many good written reviews.

There is a fellow in England that goes by the screen name 'Techmoan', and his indepth review of the B40 A118 unit that I bought sold me on the product. Here is his review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3eD...01328&index=39

Techmoan also has many great reviews on just about everything electronic, on dashcams alone he has 42 video reviews. Check him out from the link above.

Thanks for sharing the info John W!! How did you mount the camera? Suction mount to the windshield or something else?

If you get one of those units like the G1W-BC mentioned above, the suction cup is the best way. The B40 A118 that I use, comes with adhensive and sticks to the inside of the windshield near the top, right behind the rearview mirror is best. See the Techmoan's review from the link above, he gives good visual info on how to mount it.
