No. First off, you need to have this attached to an Escort detector to work. Second it records no data, none. No GPS, no speed, no g's. You need to go get a "SmartyCam" or "Waylens" or "Garmin Virb" since Vbox and Race Navigator units are several thousand dollars. I think the app "Torque" has a plugin for combining data from the phone and OBDII port, maybe with video, I seem to remember something like that.

As a trackrat myself, I will say that the feeble suction cup on the Escort units will become a projectile at high-G turns.

Yes you can, there are very few buttons on this camera but everything can be done within the M1 app.

No it is an accessory dash cam to use with escort radar detectors. It only operates when powered using the hard wired smart cord or the cigarette lighter adapter. It doesn't have a built in battery.
