I want the cameras(front and rear (eventually)) for security, be able to indent a plate and for occasional posting videos like you. Thanks in advance, Double O
The rolling shutter issue on the Monoprice cam is horrible. If you are going to be on any sort of bumpy road (or a normal road at high speeds), the Monoprice camera quality goes to crap quickly. Here's an example of the rolling shutter issue:

Because of the poor quality of the Monoprice cam at speed or on bumps, I've missed a few license plates of drivers behaving badly (like this
