Reddit reviews AUKEY Dash Cam FHD 1080P Car Camera with Supercapacitor and 170 Degrees Wide Angle Dash Camera for Cars with 2 inches LCD, G-Sensor, Motion Detection and Dual-Port Car Charger

This is the one I have:

I haven't looked into them in a couple of years so there may be better options by now. I like this one though because it's fairly cheap (I don't care about the bells & whistles others have), and some of the parts are made by Sony. It's also lasted through a couple of GA summers, so it seems to be reliable.

Most dashcams record 24/7. I'd go on r/dashcam and find a good one. The one OP linked doesn't have the greatest reviews. This one

Seems good

Edit: or the ROAV A1 someone else posted is good too. Really, if it has 25+ reviews and it has above 4 stars it’s probably pretty good. Watch some YouTube videos of the video quality just to make sure though

AUKey DR01. Got it on an amazon deal day a few weeks ago. First clip I've saved. Was cheap, great 'first dashcam' option for me. Found a power kit that I tapped into the cigarette lighter wiring, ran cable around the windshield to hide. Wish I could do a rear camera easily, but it's a convertible and I'm not about to go crazy with my 2-month old Benz. Maybe when my debt ratio decreases.

Aukey Dash Cam

Always better to use amazon. Com more options better prices. Slightly longer shipping time

Option 1 (newer model, capacitor based, no battery)

Option 2 (this is the older capacitor based model and what I use)

The suction cup mount is useless and total junk. Stick to 3m tape mount option or find a rear view mirror mount.

A not so expensive Aukey -

Came with a great permanent 3m mount. Keeps it ultra stable and has never fallen off even in my lifted Jeep.

Sorry for the late response.

I got it a little cheaper, maybe $50. Make sure you buy the correct SD card. Needs to be at least a Class 10 and U1 is better. I need to get a polarizing filter for it. Only frustration so far is actually with the car. Because of the radar cruise control I can only mount it in the corners of the windshield, but I currently think it's in a decent spot.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

I've used this one for a year and a half and I've been very happy with it.

I just looked it up and I've got [this camera](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M592J9C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1), which I got on sale for about $45. I don't really worry about it getting stolen. Cameras are getting more and more common now. It sounds like you don't have one based on your questions.

​

I'd say when you're looking for one take a good look at the reviews and reliability for them from lots of people. You don't have to spend a lot (some you can get for $30 or less!) but it's mainly features and reliability. Some have shock sensors that will automatically record/save when it detects sudden, big movement (like a collision/knock), even when the car is off. Some have GPS with the ability to record speed, but I've read that it's smart to turn that off just in case it can be used against you.

​


My biggest learning moments were resolution and video failure/reliability. For resolution I mean how much detail you can make out in the video. For obvious reasons you may want to be able to get license plate details from your recordings. The quality in my gif is crap but the original is 1080p and I CANNOT read plates with it. So I got into the habit of audibly reading plates out loud so it can be captured by the audio in the video.

​

Video reliability: I don't always pull the memory card to grab a video file (like this incident) but twice now when I have the video was missing or damaged. It was frustrating because who knows how many other times it has happened but I never needed the video so I didn't know. And those incidents where I lost the videos or couldn't get them were small annoyances like the OP. If it was a serious incident and I found out after the fact that the cam had stopped recording or the file was corrupt or whatever else I'd be really upset. They could have been complete flukes but who knows. For that reason you may want to get a cam considered widely reliable by many and lessen that risk.

​

​

But bottom line is that I think everyone should get a dashcam. It is nice to know you've got proof of an incident if something happens and also makes you a little more cognizant of what you're doing behind the wheel. I'm not a super expert at these things but I believe dashcamtalk.com is THE place to go to learn and get answers/suggestions!

I have this one and I like it. Good FOV, good quality, decent in night time. Software seems pretty sane too, with hit detection, lots of configurable options.

Comes with USB power adapter with spare port for phone charger, also comes with two different mounts and mounting clips to run the wire around the top/side of windshield down to the front console for power.

Had it a few weeks or better no issues yet...

I've been using this one for a few months now. I really like, it's been pretty good. I recorded a crash on it within 2 weeks of having it lol

This is the one I bought recently. I'm on my 3rd in about 4 years. So far, no complaints except sometimes in warmer weather, the suction fails and it falls off my windshield. I should probably just take it down every day - but I'm too lazy to put it up and take it down every day.

This is the camera that's on my dash

https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Degrees-G-Sensor-Detection-Dual-Port/dp/B01M592J9C/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?keywords=aukey+dr01&qid=1574745644&sr=8-1

Btw, forgot to mention this, but the dash cam is: AUKEY Dash Cam https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M592J9C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_BhKLDbX0NBQ26

That’s a decent budget cam. Definitely worth it if that’s what your looking for. The other one in this category is the Aukey dashcam, but either one is good. Not sure if they have parking mode though. For that you’re looking at the A119.

It's still 4.1/5 with an adjusted score: https://reviewmeta.com/amazon/B01M592J9C

But after browsing through banter on here and Slickdeals, it does seem to have more returns than it should. Viofo is still king in this price range.

I have this one, luckily I have not had the need to review the footage yet, but it works well and seems easy to use

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M592J9C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Same! I got one of these AUKEY.

For some reason ever since I gotten it everyone's been nice and safe about driving

this is the one I got, I really like it.

Don't forget to fakespot the reviews too, especially on electronics.

https://www.fakespot.com/

the one on the bottom line of the video, Aukey DR01 - https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Dashboard-Camera-Recorder-6-Lane/dp/B01M592J9C/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=aukey+dr01&qid=1556555708&s=gateway&sr=8-3

Just a recommendation but, if this happens as often as you say, both should get dash cams, you can get good ones from $50 to $100 and it will avoid things like this.

If you live in a hot are get a capacitor one, if not, a regular battery camera should be good

I recommend this ones

I have the Viofo and so far so good, I believe the aukey is down to $50 right now with code W82APPUN

Just my two cents

https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Dashboard-Camera-Recorder-Vision/dp/B01M592J9C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1500867199&sr=8-1&keywords=aukey+dash+cam

This is one with a capacitor and not a battery. Better for folks that live in hotter areas because batteries will swell up in hotter conditions.

Not the same person, but after reading around a bit I bought an Aukey DR01. It has really good quality, even in low light/night (no "night vision" infrared mode though). It has most of the basic features and is only like $60 on Amazon. You'll still need to buy an SD card, but really 16/32GB is good enough, just make sure it's class 10 minimum.

Amazon Link

Bought this one for that exact reason.

AUKEY Dash Cam, Dashboard Camera Recorder with Full HD 1080P, 6-Lane 170° Wide Angle Lens, 2" LCD and Night Vision https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M592J9C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_sS.JBbS04B18K

I've used this Aukey one for 14 months with absolutely no issues and where I live, summer days are at least 95° and winter nights get well below freezing. It's always continually recorded without issues and the mount has stayed on.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M592J9C?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

I use this one in all of my cars. After four months of use I don't have any complaints.

I have a couple of different models in our cars. This Aukey dash cam which already saved me having to pay my deductible when someone rear ended my Outback. I have this YI dash cam in my wife's CRV and my kids cars and it does nicely. I know there are better cams but these perform well for the money.

The exact model that I have is discontinued. I'd definitely go with the sidebar for /r/dashcams, their most basic suggestion is $60, and they're certainly a better judge of quality than I am.

not op but I got this cheap one from Amazon and haven't had any issues

I got this one and love it. I have it right behind my rear view mirror and always put my sunshade up to hide it.

I read the Yis have focus issues because of heat. if they sit in the sun and bake all day (so.. likely here in texas or anywhere in hawaii) the camera physically expands enough to mess with the focus.

it's a shame because i have their normal yi camera and like it. i picked up a camera from aukey for $50 ($80 now) which is a company known for ac chargers, car chargers and battery packs. i like it so far and it has some decent reviews.
