What are the merits of using an in-car video camera?

I am thinking of buying an in-car 'dashcam' video camera. Could you advise me on the merits or otherwise of doing so please?

You can record what goes on in front of the car on a loop, the length of which depends on the capacity of the SD card. It's evidential in case of an incident, but of course it could be evidential against you. Addison Lee is now in the process of fitting its 4,200 Ford Galaxys with camera systems. There's a list of links in this directory: www.honestjohn.co.uk/useful-websites/parts-accesso.../
