This one. It works great. I have it set to loop so it's always on and if I need to review footage I just pop the card into my computer.

You might want to consider getting yourself a dashcam for your car just so you have a record if/when similar sorts of things happen in the future. About a year ago there was an incident in my hometown where an off duty police officer pulled a car over and proceeded to threaten to "put a hole right through" the drivers head. It was all caught on a dashcam and the officer eventually resigned as a result. Shortly after that I went out and bought one of these and it's been in my car ever since. I've not had to rely on it yet, but I'm glad that it's sitting unobtrusively on my windshield in case I ever do need it. I've also heard rumblings that some insurance agencies offer discounts on auto insurance if you have a dashcam, but mine doesn't and I haven't bothered to check with others to see if it's true or not.

The A118 is pretty cheap and shoots amazing video. It's also tiny, so it fits behind my rearview nicely. There's a capacitor version if you live somewhere with extreme temps. I've had mine for six months now and haven't had any problems.

The same type of scenario happened to me last week. I was sitting at a red light. The SUV in front of me started to reverse. Once I realized he was getting too close - it was too late...he hit my car. He was a driver for the company that owned the car. There were no witnesses. There was no damage to the SUV - only my car & no injuries. I didn't call the police because like the guy who hit you, he seemed cooperative & without witnesses, I really didn't think a police report would help.

I went to my appointment and got back to work an hour later. There was a voicemail from my insurance, which is GEICO, stating that the other guy filed a claim against me stating I rear-ended him. It's all up in the air right now; I am disputing what he said with GEICO and filed a claim with his company's insurance. The irony was I had a dash cam I had recently purchased in the car but had not mounted it yet. If that had been mounted, none of this would be an issue. I know it won't help what already happened, but if you are interested, here is what I am using: Black Box B40 A118 Stealth Dashboard Dash Cam

It's this cam. I got it about 3 years ago now though so I'm sure there are better ones out now.

Not that it helps you in your current situation, but I would 100% recommend getting a dashcam. It has saved me and is currently helping my sister out (I installed one in her car, check out my post history I just put the video up yesterday). Video footage resolves any doubts of fault AND insurance/police love having hard proof. I would point you towards this, it's fairly inexpensive and nearly invisible if you put it behind your mirror.

Either way, good luck with your current situation!

I really like mine. worth the price if you've got Prime, and comes with some cord holders so I can relatively-discreetly run the power cord around to the cigarette lighter.

It an A118C black box. It's $76 on Amazon. Good investment so far.

Front and back. I'm also going to get them wired with a toggle so I can leave them on in specific circumstances soon. (repairs, parking decks, mall parking lots)

be sure to get the biggest SD card the camera will hold.

Everyone ok?

I have one mounted in the front of my Wrangler just in front of the visor. I did not like the mirror attached versions. You probably want to get a capacitor powered version onstead of battery. Heat is not good for the batteries, plus with a capacitor, you wire it into the accessory circuit and it's always on when your vehicle is. Set and forget, front towards enemy.

I keep a G1W-C fixed in front of my rearview mirror. Anybody looking for it will notice it, and now I wish I had picked something easier to conceal. Something like this look much better, and I wish I had dished out the extra cash for it.

I live in a decent neighborhood, park on the street, and I keep my doors locked. Nothing else of value is kept in the car.

Maybe we could hide our dashcams somewhere under the hood, looking out the front grill!?

I ended up using two A118's like the OP. You have two independent SD cards and both front and rear shoot in great quality. The main problem I see with dual channel cameras is the poor quality of the rear facing camera which is partially limited by the ability to write two streams of videos to 1 SD card.

Here's a link to the A118 I bought a while back. They've been going strong for 3 years (front) and 2 years (back)

But now that the A119 is out with a similar stealth form factor and better sensors, I would go with that.

Also, avoid the mistake I made of buying a SanDisk card. SanDisk cards are notorious for not working well with dash cams.
