Yep, that's what I've also read on the net, Luka.
Marc, are the 3 cameras for 3 cars?
Did you mount cameras so that recording light is in view for the driver? This is my big complaint with plugin dashcams. So easy to dislodge the cigarette lighter/usb connection and so camera does not turn on. Other reasons recording may not happen are due to card or camera glitches.
Having the recording light in view allows the driver to monitor camera operation.
Recording fail glitches can usually be fixed with camera restart or reformat card. If record fail happens again (and not due to heat) then consider replacing memory card. As said before, cards lose stability after many over-write cycles.
Possibly the glitches are due to most cameras are not high-end devices. But many cameras priced from $100 should be decent enough. The Mini 0805, which Marc bought, performs well enough - my mini has glitches twice since installed over 12 months ago. It has never suffered from heat in Adelaide.
Lastly, there are many sites that have dash cam reviews, including aussie sites.
