I use an old bit of network cable with an RJ45 plug, a push button and a two-colour LED to make my own dash on/off button for the Chasecam, and I use the firmware that causes it to start recording as soon as it's on. With tidy cable routing (and perhaps a bit of tape, but I never bother) I've found it to be ultra-reliable. In 2007 I had problems with the bullet camera itself, but that was all sorted, for free, by the beginning of last season.
The only spanner in the works is me - once or twice I still forget to press the button until several laps into a session, or forget to turn it off afterwards - but as I run on AA batteries and replace them for each session with freshly charged ones neither are big problems.
