Just get a cheap GoPro copy for under $40 and set it to record continuous loop.
can GoPro (genuine or copy) save files if there is an accident? some dedicated dash cams have a force/acceleration sensor that automatically save the files if you get into an accident.
Probably not, but I can say that I usually turn that feature off on my dash cams because even at the lowest setting, it would go off during normal driving and fill up the card with locked clips (could be due to our terrible L.A. roads...).
So with an action cam, that might be a problem since they usually have a 1 hr max loop. With a dash cam, I don't see it as a problem, since a 32GB or 64GB card will hold lots of footage and you're unlikely to overwrite the clip you want (since a dash cams internal battery won't last for more than a few minutes, and the car would have to be on for several hours to overwrite the clip).
