that looks very cool and sleek, and would love to learn more.

but i'm concerned by a few things:
1. its use of a battery vs capacitor: although i see it has a cigarette-power socket cable, other posts have decried battery-based camera options for use in hot weather/high temps.
2. it seems to be marketed toward the action cam crowd: can this camera be set to automatically start recording when powered on? otherwise, if one has to constantly fiddle with controls etc, might as well use that GoPro that i'm sure many, including myself, already have.
3. i personally am a bit concerned by the speed/rpm overlay/logging. this information could potentially be damning. the information is likely received via the OBD adapter; will this work without being connected or paired to one?
