Seems to take good video. I have a 32gb card installed and setting the resolution at 720p it says I have close to 4 hours of recording time.

You don't need that much time. Only enough to capture incidents. Resolution counts more than footage.
It looks like a nice unit. I personally have a preference for the units that are a rearview mirror built in because it does not look like a dashcam and will discourage break-ins.
Yes, criminals will break your window to steal a dashcam or even a radar detector. I had my cousins car get broken into for a pack of Newport cigarettes he left on the dash. Turns out it was an empty pack :(
When it comes to these dashcams you get what you pay for so dont be afraid to buy a good unit for $80+ and something that has at least a 1 year warranty (being in your car with extreme temperatures will take its toll on the dashcam).
Also I am not a huge fan of suction cup mount because I feel that in an accident it will come flying off right when you need it the most.

Well, it was so cheap I thought what the heck. They have a bazillion different flavor of cams there on alixpress. This was more of experiment then anything else but strangely enough after mounting it my wife said: "You should get another one and have it facing the rear"
I thought about putting one in the rear but 95% of the time when you get rear ended the person that gets blamed is the one who did the rear-ending......And in that case the burden of proof would be on him to clear his name.
I dont have official statistics but I think less than 20% of people (Maybe the number is much lower than that) own a dashcam on their vehicle.
I think more people have a backing up camera installed since that is often a dealer installed accessory.
Not in mother russia.. at least judging by the youtube videos everyone has one. Makes for some entertaiment :)
A 17yo co-worker's son hit a red light runner, who admitted he did ran the light. Well the story was opposite in court room, and the judge blamed all on co-worker's son, b/c we all know teens are horrible drivers and pathological lairs, right?
since I couldn't find any other dashcam thread, if I plan to install a dashcam just like an sj4000 where do I plugit in so that it'll be turned on once I start the car?
