Autoguard for Android

I had installed Autoguard Blackbox on my S3 for almost 2 weeks and indeed is a useful and easy to use app.  Autoguard will turn your Smartphone into in car video recorder, with vehicle speed info, GPS coordinates, driving path on the Google Map and etc.  It works just like a standalone in car video recorder where you can manage the video recording resolutions (can support max Full HD format: 1920x1080 pixels at 30fps), video recording clip length, max storage size (i.e. once exceeded the size limit, it will automatically over-ride the older file.  This is a very useful feature if your phone storage size is limited) and many more.

At day time, the video recording quality is superb.  However at night time, the recording quality is just average (very difficult to see the car number in front of my vehicle).  I believe this is where the good dedicated in car video recorder like Blackvue 400G-HD stands out due to better lens quality.  Overall, I can't complain much as I got the app for free.  The Pro version (with some unlocked features) will cost US$2.47.

If you have an Android Smartphone, why not give it a try.  Is available on Google Play.
