I had the same issues when I first set up my camera, as I wanted as much 'useful' image as possible, but you soon realise that having half your video of the sky does nothing other than darken the road/traffic portion (bottom half) of the video. Try tilting the camera down a bit so you see more of your bonnet (try to position the camera so that on a straight road, the cars ahead of you, along with the oncoming traffic are as close to the centre of the screen as possible). You will see more bonnet, (and nothing happens on the bonnet), but I would rather see some bonnet with a good light balance, than no bonnet and a bright sky with everything else in the image very dark. the only downside is you might get more screen reflection if the camera is pointed downwards, but a cpl filter will take care of that.

No company name, no building name, nothing. Luckily the security dude saw my mobile number on the package and gave me a ring. For those that have the cam already, anyway to turn off the beeps when you press a button? Holy hell they're annoying!

Not sure what's going, but the quality definitely seems poorer than examples I've seen online, I had it set to 1920x1080 at 30fps, perhaps the online examples are the higher 2304x1296 at 30fps setting? (which I thought i had already set). YouTube seems to have heavily pixilated the footage, it might be still processing but even the original file isn't as clear as Techmoan's YouTube rendering. The pixilation starts to disappear around the halfway mark, but it still seems a bit grainy.
