I had an old one which recorded 720p but you couldn't even make out a license plate at 12 feet, so I need something a lot better than that. I don't want to go down the go-pro route (I have two) since I want to hardwire it in so I never need to charge or forget to turn it on!
I was looking at this, but even the review of this aren't too great
I have their B1M model camera mounted on my Road Glide. Video quality is great and I have the wiring and unit mounted under my right side panel, under the ABS unit. I have no need for a screen, I just pull the card and download video. I made a rear mount out of stainless steel and I am going to french in the front camera into my headlight bezel; it is currently stuck onto the front of the bezel. I only have a few months using this camera, so I cannot comment on the longevity.
I know you already have the GoPro and want something else but they sure have nice image stabilization! I need a little nudge to get the Hero 8 black - amazing videos.
I just have a cheapo knockoff mounted on the front of my RGS wired to my cigarette lighter for power.
I have a Mobius action das cam stuck to windshield (Free wheeler) (no LCD screen) best i've found out of about 10 I've bough really good when the sun is not shinning into lens, can't find one with a LCD screen that is as good. pluged into power outlet, it loops, use a 32 gb mini sd card.
here is a snap shot from Video.
interesting...that might work. I don't need a screen to see anything on. I just want to record in case of accident, plus capture my journeys etc.
Maybe I could buy a couple of those and mount one at the front and one at the back, except they aren't waterproof

I have seen the Innovv unit...very pricey though at $340
yeah, I'd looked around and couldn't find a better system....folks here had recommended it as well
one of the first videos I remember looking for after a ride was a classic
the rear camera shows my boy comin up behind me on his DLR, distracted..... he notices the stop sign and locks his rear tire up as he stops
the front camera shows a nice looking girl in a pair of short shorts, fishing a wedgie out of the crack of her bottom, as she hears his screeching stop, she turns back briefly, smiles, and keeps walking
got some footage of a few close calls, one of my favorite was a group of about 12 metrics going the opposite way, when I dropped my hand and gave two fingers down, they all simultaneously lifted their hands and gave me the Forest Gump wave...that gave me a chuckle
The only problem with "capturing your journey's," is that you're the only one that wants to see them. And, you'll only want to see them, once. Otherwise, it's the same thing, over and over and over and....
But, if you must have a camera, then to illustrate the effects of "speed," you need to mount the camera as low as possible.
