Just checked and found the identical one on there again now here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Car-DVR-Camera-Full-HD-1080P-Video-Recorder-Dash-Cam-G-Sensor-Night-Vision-2017-/162614519339?epid=2121191223&hash=item25dc94a62b:g:yB8AAOSwC9VZgd0q - but I got it from China with no postage charge.
Quality is very good - here's a video I shot with it driving from my house to the beach at Guardamar - speeded up!: https://www.facebook.com/studio17/videos/10210257154168044/

If you’re looking for a dash cam then I’d suggest you avoid the ones that have infrared LEDs to give you ‘night vision’. The problem with these LED illuminators I’d that you get a lot of reflection of the infrared light from the inside of the windscreen, meaning that you can’t see very much at night.
You’re better-off using a higher quality camera that has good low light sensitivity and doesn’t need IR illumination.
I use a Mobius camera that doesn’t have a screen (you need to pop the card out and out it in your computer to view the footage) but this makes it nice and small and easy to mount.
One other piece of advice - buy a decent quality SD (or microSD) card. Many cameras work okay for a while with a cheap card, but once they start overwriting the old files on the card they start to struggle. You’ll eventually find that nothing is being recorded on the card, which isn’t the news you want when you have a prang.
