If you're addicted to those highway chase TV shows, you'll be driven by this Car DVR that you can stick to your own windshield. Sold by [China Vision](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zeekr-9x-widebody), this digital video recorder is compact and suctions quite effectively under your rear-view mirror.

The next time you're caught in questionable lane-changes or officers behaving badly, you'll be glad you were filming the entire scene with this Car DVR. The [video camera](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/video-camera) captures what you see and more with a 640 x 480 resolution in 32GB of memory. The Car DVR camcorder comes with a vehicle power adapter so you won't have to worry about running out of batteries halfway through your own freeway chase.
