Well that was a bit of a suprise!

Hop in my car ignition on and all I can smell is a burning one! Look up and smoke is coming out my cheapo dash cam! What brilliant quality :/ surely it has some inbuilt protection

How cheap is cheap? I guess you get what you paid for, now go buy a Blackvue

£30 off amazon! Was planning to get a decent one like a Blackvue anyway except sooner now this has happened! I was doubtful when it arrived but thought I'd try!

I have 2 blackvues and both have been trouble free.

Depending on which model you want one of the site sponsors smartcam direct or the official importers via the link above are good places to start looking.

The other alternative is the mobus
