Can you disable the "analytics" in the camera? Aside from those, a $50 dash cam with WiFi connectivity and a mobile app and decent image quality seems like a heck of a bargain.

After reading this article and then searching the archives for additional dashcam articles, I think a survey of what's being used would be very informative. We have been talking about installing them in our security trucks on property. Obvious concerns are ruggedness, mounting, accessibility, tampering, reliability, etc.
Plus, I've been keen to get a dashcam for my commute (lots to see on I-78) but just haven't made the time to do the research yet.

Agreed. Dashcams are a little off IPVM's raison d'etre, but they are useful and articles about them are a nice extra.

Does it phone home with geo-location??? Sorry, couldn't resist.

Of course not, that's what the NSA has your phone do! :)

Can the Wi-Fi be turned off? Since 99.9% of the time you won't be connected to the camera it will be nice to have an option to turn the Wi-Fi on/off.
From what I read online the camera records in a 3 min loop. So anything older than that can't be reviewed.

IPVM's foray into dashcams may broaden its subscribers and readers. IPVM might even have two tiers of subscriptions: 1) the usual, and 2) dashcams with a lower subscription fee.
IPVM is well poised to become the industry leader in dashcam evaluation.

If IPVM decides to review any other dashcams, I can comment that I am happy with my ROAV C1 Pro. A friend just bought an 'as seen on tv' rearview mirror with camera after being wrongly accused of a traffic violation and it was enough encouragement for me to pick up one for myself considering the mileage I drive.
Fun toy with GPS, WiFi, mph, and a gyro to trigger 'protect this recording'
My kids go to school at the school in this article, small world. If IPVM wants a recording from my dashcam feel free to pm me with what you'd like to see
