here are acouple ones to consider

Dual cameras

single camera

Not Cheap

Try using this or this, with this to do this.

He's using the Falcon Zero F360 HD DVR drive cam. The left camera is suppose to face the driver. I use this when I drive for Lyft or Uber. I sometimes have both cameras face forward but line them up so it's a solid wide view. Not a bad price for a discreet drive cam.

That one was an A118. I now have an A119 in front and back which have much better night capability than the A118. It's $88 without GPS: https://www.amazon.com/VIOFO-Screen-Capacitor-Novatek-without/dp/B01IEQU9WK


$99 with GPS I believe.

As always, https://dashcamtalk.com/ is your friend.

Wait, I'm famous??? Lol

And I was recommended the Apeman Dash Cam. I'm just not sure if I want to spend the extra $50 to get the rear camera as well. But I'm a bit tight on budget and have been recommended this one as a good cheap dash cam. It has great reviews, as well.

what is the law on "right to record" in your place of existence?

if its legal to record someone without consent, i would get the cheapest security camera or dash cam and have it set up in the room. out of his sight and have it record 24/7 and just overwrite itself. then when an outburst happens, you have evidence

if i was you, i would buy https://www.amazon.com/Dash-Cam-Mirror-Mount-KDLINKS/dp/B0102CK1BS/ (It will run off of a usb wall brick) and whatever the cheapest 16gb sd card you can find is. so you will probably be in it for about $16.

This is the one I have:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M592J9C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

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.

I have both of these dashcams.

• They are both good but this one is a little better. A118 https://www.amazon.ca/AUTO-VOX-Dashboard-Capacitor-Internal-Recording/dp/B00UUQD9L6/ (Edit: There is an updated version A119, that I don't have any experience with https://www.amazon.ca/Official-VIOFO%C2%AE-A119-Car-Dashcam/dp/B01KARPKF2/ )
  
• This one is okay. https://www.amazon.ca/Vantrue-N2-Dual-Dash-Cam/dp/B01IHLKZ0I/

https://www.amazon.com/APEMAN-Recorder-170%C2%B0Wide-Recording-Detection/dp/B07DLG9GFG/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_sspa?keywords=dash+cam&qid=1555423420&s=gateway&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1&smid=A1FYYQ65E5PX24

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078B56BYJ

I've got one of these, $39.99 - works fine so far. SD card sold separately, get a class 10 to make sure. Already captured a close call of another driver not checking blindspot and moving into my lane.

I was only recording in 720p. It goes to 1080p but because it's a two-way dash cam it fills up the memory card pretty quick. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0147R9PDO

It's a GW1-C (link if curious: https://www.amazon.ca/Spy-Tec-G1W-C-Camera-Capacitor/dp/B00JJ3SQRI) )

Thats oddly specific...good luck haha

I'd also suggest buying a dashcam, literally plug and play (cigarette lighter) and turns on automatically when the car starts...also easy to hide cables behind trimming...this is the one I have and its hidden behind my rearview mirror, I dont even notice its there

Same, been looking at the A129 though my A119 has been great. (Get a High Endurance card also, I run a Transcend. Bought a couple Samsung EVOs because that was all that was available locally, died within 6 months. This has been going a year and a half).

Protip: As a first dashcam:

Low budget: Yi Dashcam

Mid: Viofo A119

High: Viofo A129

Highest: Some Streetguardian/Blackvue shit with park assist and beams info to your phone if someone breathes on your car, at that level you should probably do some research.

There's a LOT of them out there but they use mostly the same components rebranded (Rexing, et al). I like these, just my opinion.

Edit: /r/Dashcam /r/roadcam

https://www.amazon.com/FOCUSPOWER-Bluetooth-Smallest-Invisible-Headphone/dp/B01M2ZOLLP

Now you can listen to whatever you want in your office.

> There are some on eBay that claim 1080p and have night vision for as little as $15, are they all garbage?

Garbage, pure garbage.

> If so what's the cheapest one that's at least ok?

So it depends what you want, IR dash cams are like this:

There are Uber/Taxi cams in the dash cam build:

• Transcend 32GB Drive Pro 520 ($186.61 USD)
  
  This has an IR camera rear, so it can record the interior at night. It also shows you the weaknesses of an IR camera, limited IR light spread/brightness, distortion of color due to removing a filter (to be able to see IR light) ect.
  
  Examples of IR spread: Warning Uber drivers with bad customers: Uber driver #1 or Uber driver #2
  
  
• The BlackVue DR650S-2CH IR ($399.99 USD) has a much nicer spread
  
  
• Thinkware F770 2CH IR ($279.99 USD) + (IR cam $99.99 USD) is pretty great too.
  
  There are normal dash cams:
  
  Dashcam + Micro SD card + Hardwire kit = cost. Different vendors offer different things included/excluded.
  
  Discount code: Receive $10 off with "top5blackboxmycar" when shopping for a dash cam over $99.99 at BlackboxMyCar.com
  
  *Note: I pulled a lot of links from BlackboxMyCar.com, but look around for the best price, I just wanted you to be aware of the discount code.
  
  
  ----------------
  
  Excellent build quality, Excellent parking mode, Good/Fair video quality:
  
  1 ch systems: These don't have wifi/cellphone app:
  
  
• Thinkware F50 1-CH ($69.99 USD) - Fair video quality, Excellent build quality, Excellent parking mode. - Lacks a Wifi/cell phone app, but format free technology helps and reliability is top notch. - 1080P @ 30 FPS - ($69.99 USD) - 2nd vendor. ($90-110 USD) - 3rd vendor. - There is a coupon code for this one in the video description. Discount Code: blackboxmycarf50 to get $10 off from BlackboxMyCar.com
  
  
• BlackVue DR450-1CH ($119.99 USD) Excellent build quality, Excellent parking mode, lacks wifi, optional gps, lack of reviews. - 1080P @ 30 FPS Front
  
  -------------
  
  Lackluster parking mode, fair/poor build quality, Excellent video quality:
  
  
  
• Mobius ($80 USD) + USB Mini hardwire kit ($13 USD) + adhesive mount ($7.95 USD) + recommended but not required Super Capacitor ($7.95 USD) instead of lipo battery. - Good build quality, Good video quality, lackluster parking mode. - This dash cam comes from the RC/drone world, and it shows, it is almost endlessly modifiable, but you have to want to do all these things, and it is very hands on do it your self.
  
  
• A119 V2 ($80-100 USD) - V1 had minor flaws but is cheaper - V2 corrected some of those flaws and had firmware improvements. + Known problems of the A119 Excellent video quality day/good night/good shadow, good/fair build quality, lackluster parking mode. Discreet.
  
  
• A119S V2 ($100-120 USD) - This one has more potential but currently equal to the A119 due to lack of firmware improvements. - has parking mode now.
  
  True 4K:
  
  
• ThiEYE T5e 4K ($120 USD) - read the review on it, you give up a lot.
  
  So 4k has a lot of "marketing" around it, some are sold as 4k, but are not 4k dash cams. This one is one of the few actual 4k dash cams on the market, but you give up a lot, and you will require larger 128/256 GB MLC based High Endurance product Micro SD cards, that have error correction built in. They will eat up the cards quicker, and may not what you want in the end.
  
  -----------------
  
  Or you could pick these:
  
  Example of poor build quality:
  
  
• G1W-C(B) ($50-60 USD) - Good video quality, poor parking mode (lackluster), poor build quality. - Does strange things, doesn't keep date/time, LED light generally gets painted over, or sharpied, or taped over since it randomly turns on and gives the driver night blindness. - It is the best of the cheap/bad dash cams. I have one, I wouldn't purchase again.
  
  
• Xiaomi Yi ($45 USD) - Known Problems Excellent video quality Day/night/shadow - Ultra wide lens fish eyes. No parking mode. Heat tolerance problems. Build quality below average/poor.
  
  -------------------
  
  
  There is a huge amount of buyers remorse in dash cams. What I can say is fully research the dash cams you want, and the dash cams you don't, so at least you understand your decisions. Picking Excellent build quality, Excellent parking mode, and good/fair video quality dash cams is a lot less hassle, above I listed only Excellent build quality, Excellent parking mode, good/Fair video quality dash cams, but there are Excellent video quality, Fair/poor build quality, lackluster parking mode dash cams out there that is worth knowing about. Anyways good luck in your decisions.
  
  *Edit: Prices change rapidly in the dash cam market, however, the copy pasta does not. I have seen prices rise rapidly, and fall just as fast, for no apparent reason, even as newer models have been released.
  
  ------------
  
  So If I was going to spend money, I would pick: The Transcend 32GB Drive pro 520 or if I wanted a better IR spread, BlackVue DR650S 2CH IR, or Thinkware F770 CH IR.
  
  If I was going for price, I would pick: the Xiaomi Yi Dash cam, it doesn't have IR, it should be taken out of the vehicle when not in use: Lipo batteries crack/leak/swell/ect and lens can spin around causing out of focus problem. There is no lack of problems with the Yi, heat problem, 165 ultra wide angle lens is too wide, causes fish eye, motion blur, and distorts distance/speed, build quality issues, not discreet. However if you take it out of the car when not in use, it is a runner. -
  
  You can apply: Paint, or apply shelf liner - do not cover the vents. This extra step may void warranty, and may reduce the lifespan of the dash camera it self - Black heats up quicker than silver.
  
  If I were to pick a dash cam for normal use: pointing towards the road: Thinkware F50 1CH or BlackVue DR4501 CH.
  
  If I wanted a dual camera: well I would have to list them, and I haven't yet, and I am at 8000+ characters out of 10,000 for this post.

super glue it to one of these problem solved.

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

https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Dashboard-Camera-Recorder-6-Lane/dp/B01M592J9C

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

I used to recommend E-Prance Mini 0803 or 0805 but it looks like they're not making them anymore. They're great little guys that you could hide behind the mirror and they were available under $100. These days if you're trying to spend under $100 I'd say trying this one.

Some other general rules for dash cams that you should follow:

• Make sure that it has motion detection so that it saves/locks clips when you get into an accident or whatever.
  
  
• Make sure that it has a capacitor instead of a battery. A parked car in Los Angeles summer heat will get extremely hot and destroy a lithium ion battery. Meanwhile a capacitor will work fine. Dashcams with capacitors are generally made to withstand heat better than those without, they're made with this use case basically.
  
  
• If they don't have internal memory, make sure to get a high endurance memory card made for security purposes like this. A regular memory card will be dead within a year... All flash NAND has a certain number of writes before it's effectively useless, and stand SD cards can't withstand the constant writes of a dash cam.

I have this one in my truck that I drive with ride-sharing for the added benefit of monitoring passengers: Vantrue N2 Dual Dash Cam-1080P Front and Rear Dual Lens Dash Camera 1.5" Near 360° Wide Angle Car Dashboard Camera Video Recorder w/ Parking Mode, Motion Detection, Front Camera Night Vision Effects https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073WQ7K6C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_dLuYAb5W4DR4Z

And this one for my car as it has a rear mount camera: Rexing V1LG Dual Channel Car Dash Cam FHD 1080p 170° Wide Angle Dashboard Camera Recorder with HD Rear Camera, Built-in GPS Logger, 16GB Memory Card, G-Sensor, WDR, Loop Recording https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071LPV7G6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_9MuYAb0PX2AA1

WiFi dashcams range from $40 and up on Amazon. I picked up an Anker Roav C1 for $69 a couple weeks ago for this precise reason. Easy to install and works well enough.

https://www.amazon.com/Falcon-Zero-F360-HD-Mirror/dp/B00E56WY18

Getting a dashcam was the best investment I ever made. The security and peace of mind that comes with it are just great - if some asshole does me wrong on the road, I'll have video evidence of it so it'll never be my word against theirs, and I'll always be protected in that regard. I run it every time I drive, and use it in all of my cars.

And you don't need an expensive one to get excellent-quality video! I have a G1W, which you can get on Amazon for about $53, give or take. It records in full 1080p HD. Check it out!

Hey, I got a dash-cam a couple of months ago and I had the same concern. I ended up getting this one because of its minimalist but functional design.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UUQD9L6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Its a capacitor style dashcam, so no worry of battery problems due to overheating (say if you live in a hot climate during summer) but the tradeoff is that it can't be set to record when you are gone.

The Rexing V1

Tremendous reliability and great customer service.

A new model is out, featuring an in-built GPS and a rear cam, but it doesn't ship to India.

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B01IEQU9WK/ref=sspa_mw_detail_6?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2E2D732KBQJI9

Russian dashcams are why I bought one. Hopefully we can spread awareness so we start seeing more pop up.

This is the one I got. Note that this is the capacitor version. The normal one has a battery. I got this one because it gets really hot here and that would damage the battery. Battery version is slightly cheaper. Overall good for the price. It's the one that I see recommended most.

For everyone asking about dash cams, here are a couple of links that I think will help. They're really not very expensive and can be installed for free by you if you don't mind a little effort (or a wire to your cigarette lighter), or you can get one hardwired (with the wire tucked away so it's barely noticeable) for $50-$100 from a local car stereo shop. The good thing is they're small and don't really stick out like a GPS, so they're not really going to raise the chances of someone breaking into your car to get at it.

This is a wonderful review site for those of you who like to research things before buying.
Dashcam Talk Forum/Blog

Here's their best value cam in all black from Amazon.

Here's the one I'm using which is just a little more money but also a tiny bit better in quality (you won't notice a huge difference, I just like the style better).

And here's a 32GB microSDHC memory card that you'll need.

To address the question that usually comes up, they record in loops. That means they record in segments of a few minutes (usually 3, 5, or 10 minute files) and then once the card fills up, they start recording over the oldest files first. 32GB is usually enough space for 5 hours of recording. Yes, you can usually click a button if you record something (or get into an accident) that will tag the last file to not ever get recorded over. They do record sound as well. Neither of those have GPS but you can get some more expensive ones that do.

I'd totally recommend getting a dashcam if you're a driver in Houston as if there's ever an accident you're involved in and not at fault, now you have a very good chance at having proof that it wasn't your fault, which can go a loooong way with insurance. Also, you can capture stuff like op here did, along with you know, russian dashcam worthy footage on occasion. :)

Yeah, they should be required for our protection. I've been using the transcend 520, works great inside and out. Has infrared lights for night vision inside - Transcend 520 drive pro

I really like this one. It's small, so that it's easy to tuck away out of your LoS, but still has a screen.

Price went up a few bucks to $86. http://amzn.com/B00TXR2P40

The Youtube video has been stabilized, but otherwise hasn't been altered.

At the time, the wirecutter review of dashcams liked the G1W the best. I bought this one from eBay for $45 with free shipping from China.

When it arrived the suction cup mount was defective. It was only $45 so I didn't bother reporting it as arriving damaged. Instead I bought this rear-view mirror mounting kit from Amazon for $12.

I also bought this 12 volt to USB power converter from Amazon for $8 so I could hard wire it into the car power. My rear-view mirror has switched 12 volts on it which I tapped into for camera power.

I used a normal microSD card for a while but it died pretty quickly due to the constant writing. I bought this heavy duty 16GB card for $11 on amazon.com and it's been working great for the last 9 months.

Pretty cheap insurance if you ask me. If I had it to do over again I would buy the version of the G1W that uses a capacitor instead of an internal battery or I would try out one of the cameras that the wirecutter now is suggesting.

Enjoy!

salut. nu stiu ce sa te sfatuiesc in privinta accidentului.


pot sa te ajut cu un sfat pentru viitor (desi iti doresc sa nu fie cazul). ia-ti camera de bord. gasesti ieftina si buna (ninja edit: de obicei mai e redusa la 40lire. ai gria ca exista si un model mai slab cu doar 1080p la 30p). cum filmeaza gasesti pe youtube multe clipuri cu filmari ale ei. o recomand pe asta deoarece are 1080p la 60fps si cand faci stopcadru pe un frame ai sanse mai mari sa vezi un detaliu sau nr de inmatriculare.


card iti mai trebuie. sandisk sau samsung recomand.

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.


https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Dashboard-Camera-Recorder-6-Lane/dp/B01M592J9C

They're all teens, so probably some program AAA did that had parents install both a dashcam and cabin cam to monitor the driving habits of teens. They also appear to have G-Sensors monitoring the vehicle, to show hard braking and/or crashes.

Edit: One thing I didn't think about, there are also dual-camera dashcams that record the road and the cabin in a single unit. You could also simply get a dual-channel (dual-camera) system and mount the second camera in the cabin facing back instead of in the rear window.

https://www.amazon.com/Black-Box-A118-Stealth-Dash/dp/B00NG84AT0/

EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE A DASH CAMERA INSTALLED IN THEIR VEHICLE.

There's no excuse anymore. People are freaking CRAZY. And, god forbid, if something like this happens and it's your word vs. theirs, it's nice to have video backing your story up.

They're CHEAP. They last. You can hook them up to either be on all the time or when the vehicle is running.

From Amazon:

1. SpyTec Dash Cam - comes with an internal capacitor, rather than a battery; that way you don't have a battery exploding in the Tulsa heat. $63
   
   
2. Hard wire/fuse kit for dash cam - the cam comes with a cigarette cord and a USB cord, but if you want to hard-wire it into your vehicle (like I did), you'll need this kit. Want it on all the time? Find a constant hot fuse. Just when your're traveling? Find a fuse that turns on when the vehicle is on. $13
   
   
3. 32GB mini SD card - gotta save those road rage videos onto something, don't we? $24
   
   A mere $100 brings a lot of peace of mind. I know it makes me feel a little safer. Plus, I tend to drive safer, because I know it's there, and, if something happens, I don't want to be the one at fault.
   
   EDIT - added hyperlinks to Amazon for the cam, wiring, and SD card. No need to PM me. I don't mind if you do, but...it was like I was hoarding the info to myself...and I thought it seemed kind of weird.

The VIOFO A119 is often recommended as the best budget dashcam. I have one myself, and it has worked well so far.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IEQU9WK/

Honestly, it's nothing too impressive.

• Raspberry Pi
  
• Some cameras to go with it
  
• Some extra cables
  
• A wireless dashcam
  
  Those aren't the products I used specifically, but that above combo should run you around or under $150 and will give you everything you need to wire up your car like mine.

Camera: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B078B56BYJ


SD Card: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B073JWXGNT/


My car was intentionally struck in a fit of road rage a month after getting this cheapo and the other driver sped off without leaving any info. This camera proved he was 100% at fault. This $50 camera got me a $1,700 check as opposed to being shit out of luck. If you want more info on the camera, feel free to DM me or just read the Amazon page. Absolutely worth the price. I bought it in late June and drive 1 hr+ every day, the memory card just got full and is overwriting the old videos automatically.

Might I suggest

Best $45 you'll spend.

Roav makes a line of affordable reliable models.

You're better off picking up a car "Rear view monitor" type deal for $36. It's probably the same thing, much much cheaper. Heck the buttons on the monitors look exactly identical. Note that these use the RCA connector so don't expect a hi-res display.

If there's one thing I've learned about the rpi, and other groups is that they're doing some serious price gouging on almost all of the accessories they sell.

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.

https://www.amazon.com/Black-Box-A118-Stealth-Dash/dp/B00NG84AT0

https://dashcamtalk.com/

Black Box B40 A118 Stealth Dashboard Dash Cam - Covert Versatile Mini Video Camera - 170° Super Wide Angle 6G Lens - 140°F Heat Resistant - Full HD 1080P Car DVR with G-Sensor WDR Night Vision Motion Detection - NT96650 + AR0330 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NG84AT0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_P1EBwb1F53HEC

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.

I leave it in and it's hooked up to the 12V socket. Most are designed to be pretty hard to notice, and it's only powered on when the power is turned on.

I have a B40C and an A119C.

They're easy to remove if you choose to take them out of your car when you leave it, usually just snapping onto the mount. Depending on the model, some need to be re-hooked up, but some are wired to a GPS mount and the camera itself can just snap in and out easily.

Get one!

Yes, there is a version with a rear camera, I have one. This particular model has a GPS logger so you can pinpoint the location of a collision.

Aukey Dash Cam

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DLG9GFG/

Got that one to put in the loaner for the time being.

In my cars I have the BlackSys CH100B hooked up to the battery for parking recording. Quality is good but not the best, but the functionality is great. I did some research and it seemed like it would be the best fit for me at the price point. Have 4 of them between all my family members for 2 years now and no complaints yet. Make sure to get the right SD card though if you’re in a hot climate. I tried using a regular one and the video would cut out intermittently. No issues after getting the SanDisk High Endurance cards.

I've had a couple uber drivers rocking one of these:

http://amzn.com/B00E56WY18

The nice thing is that it captures both the front and rear view. If you're looking for one that's not mounted on the mirror and more discreet, Innov makes a great system that's perfect for both motorcycles and cars but a wee bit pricier:

http://www.innovv.com/#!the-k1/c3r6

The one I've seen most often recommended is the G1W. The Wirecutter has a good review of it (link) and Techmoan has a review as well (link).

Techmoan also has a TON of reviews for other dashcams so go check out his channel. They're all interesting and quite informational, and surprisingly not boring to watch.

I personally have the G1W as well and quite like it.

EDIT: Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/G1W-Recorder-Dashboard-Dashcam-Authentic/dp/B00JJ3L84G

I got this one and it's been really great.

Rexing V1LG and a 128 microsd card are practically mandatory in this day and age.

I wasn't certain if we made contact or not.

Just in case, I wanted to pull over to make sure.

Dashcam is a Rexing V1LG.

Probably possible. Not sure if it would be worth it. A dash cam with motion detection and an additional battery might be enough to ease you worries. I had one installed and it makes me feel a little better.

Roav Dashcam S1

because its not 1080p. its 640x480 or 720x480 interpolated up to 1080p. it would be kind of like me pointing my actual 1080p camcorder at my 32" tube Television playing a VHS Tape of a movie and saying "see" its 1080p except my version would probably actually look better than what you would get from this camera.

as a dash cam its not bad. it does what it needs to do. but its not 1080p and that price is way too high.

if you want a cheap "ok" dashcam go with this one on amazon for $36

https://www.amazon.com/PRUVEEO-Support-Dashboard-Recorder-Vehicles/dp/B01KZWMGFY

I have 2 of these. so far over 8 months they are still going. the video is crap mediocre 720p video that is kind of crap but usable and serviceable at night.

the wifi download is nice and it actually CHANGES the file name to SAV when you hit the button to save a clip which makes it very easy to slurp all your saved clips off the camera now and then.

if you have a heavy angle windscreen you want to check this before stickying it down IE you might need to shim it to get a more ideal viewing angle.

otherwise its reliable (never failed to start and record on me yet which is a really critical feature of a dashcam WTH is the point if it just does not work when you really need it too)

ok sound. ok video. low profile. good unit for the price. I am seeking higher quality but so far all my higher quality units just DIE after a few weeks or months.

I got a DDpai M6 and I freaking love it. it died 2 months in. Grrrr

G1W-C has good quality, full HD and you can read licence plates. In daylight you could read ones of the cars going the opposite way at city speeds. At night it's obviously a bit trickier due to headlights of other cars blinding the camera. Reading number plates of cars going the same way is not too hard.


It also has a capacitor instead of a battery, so no dangers of overheating.
The downside is that the capacitor has just enough charge to save the last file and shut down properly, so just a few seconds.

Amazon link is just an example, there are lots of stores selling this camera. I got mine from China via Ebay, paid $45 in total.

Dashcam for insurance purposes.

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.

Notes:

• Many of these parts go in and out of stock from domestic vendors. It is recommended that you shop around and find the best option for you.
  
  
• This build comes out below your budget by quite a bit. While you will have to pay for shipping and such, I would advise that you put some of those extra funds toward more props and batteries... you're going to need them.
  
  
• This kit will require some soldering. You can pick up a fairly cheap iron and some solder/flux (I recommend .03-.05) off amazon or from your local hardware store. I would advise practicing for a bit on some old electronics. Thrift stores are a great place to pick up an old motherboard if you don't have any laying around. Soldering is not very difficult and I was able to solder all my pins and other components after just an hour or so of practice!
  
  

Highly recommend this one.

I got this one and have been liking it. No problems with it yet and I can have it record 24/7 without having any battery issues.

I got this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DLG9GFG/

I spent hour doing research and came up with a camera that was out of budget, so I figured "Amazon's Choice" outta be good enough in a pinch. Some settings took some tinkering (the G-sensor had to be disabled because every moderate pothole would lock video files until the card was full) but finally got it fairly reliable. I'm happy. :)

The day after I installed the it, a woman's car was burglarized right in front of my camera but the motion detection didn't trigger or catch anything. I was bummed; I could have been a hero!

It's a CrossTour CR300! $38 on Amazon and one of the best dashcams I've ever owned. Highly recommend. I live in Florida and drive a black car, so in the summer it frequently gets over 100 degrees and inside my car probably gets to 120. Haven't had a single issue* with the camera getting overheated or falling from its suction mount.

*I guess the only "real" issue is when my 64gb SD card filled up, the camera would record for a few minutes and then automatically power off because it ran out of space to record. As soon as I deleted irrelevant clips and freed up space, it worked perfectly again.

Hopefully this link works. I believe this is the one I have. Be sure to get a reasonably sized SD card as well.

I have never had a dual cam setup so I would not know what to recommend. You can take a look at the options I've listed and decide for yourself. As you can see, most of them are rear view mirror type.

They exist.

Do it. I use a Falcon Zero F360. It has two cameras - one facing out, one in, and it fits over your existing rear-view mirror.

I have mine set to record over a loop. If something goes down, I swap out the memory card.

I live and do most of my work in a single-party consent state. However, for when I cross over to another state, I do have stickers in the back seat that say "smile - you're on camera!"

I've never had a pax refuse to be recorded. However, I have had some ask what I do with the footage. I simply tell them, "if something crazy happens, I'll pop the memory card out and hang onto that footage. Otherwise, it all gets deleted." After I explain why I have the camera, passengers are totally down with it. Even the drunkest people understand that it's there for my safety.

This one is really great for the price. There is also a black version without the chrome ring around the lense that is a little less eye catchy (FWIW I just leave the chrome one setup in both vehicles full time).

I would recommend the mirror mount but it does come with a suction cup mount. Just need to toss in a micro SD card. It's easy to hide the USB cable and run it to your 12v socket.

I just copy pasted the share link. It seems to come with every adapter possible to fit whatever dash cam you have. Easy to install too.

Another thing. If you haven't tried just smooshing your wire in between the windshield and top interior. Mine fits in between without anything holding it in there, all the way to the side panel which it fit inside and then behind the rubber lining of the door which just pulled out and pushed back in then under my dash.

Give the Transcend DP520 a look, it has both front and backwards pointing camera towards the driver. The CF-100 while it is a great dual cam, is meant to point from the rear window, and isn't meant to provide an interior view.

Grab one of these. Excellent quality and a steal at that price.

This earbud. It allows me to play a drone and a metronome at the same time while also protecting my left ear.

+1 on the A119. It is my first dash cam, and I have absolutely zero complaints after almost 1 year. For a clean look, you may want to consider hard wiring the cam to a fuse location that is active only when the car is powered, or always on. This is the hardwiring kit that is compatible with the A119:

• If you want to add FPV eventually, you need to have an amateur radio license (technician level at least) to operate legally.
  
  
• There are always additional little costs such as heat shrink, battery straps, etc.
  
  
• Try to supply all my parts from the US. Mainly for shipping speed reasons! ;) The parts on this list that aren't from the US are the Radio TX and the Camera. The Taranis radio can be bought in the US, and the boardcam probably can too for a bit of a premium.

How about? https://www.navdy.com/preorder

$25 budget is going to get you... shit.

This one is roughly the cheapest "decent" one, and it's still not perfect. It's suggested here all the time. I've got one, and I don't hate it, though it does occasionally still corrupt videos or skip a few minutes here and there, which makes it unreliable. I can't imagine spending less than $100 on one.

To the op, that sucks. I'm sorry. It's wrong.

But now I hope you and everyone reading this will protect yourself by recording a video of everything that happens in your car!

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!

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

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

May I ask what made you buy that specific model? Just wondering because I just bought my first dash-cam (waiting for Amazon to deliver), and I hope I got a good one.

There's so many out there that I didn't know which to get, so I settled on the Auto-Vox simply due to number and rate of reviews.

I've got this one and it's REALLY good quality, even at night, but I paid £31 for it in a sale.

A not so expensive Aukey -
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M592J9C/?tag=rhodge11-20

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

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

Option 1 (newer model, capacitor based, no battery)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07HVNCQF3/ref=dp_ob_neva_mobile

Option 2 (this is the older capacitor based model and what I use)
https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Dashboard-Camera-Recorder-6-Lane/dp/B01M592J9C

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

I bought a Y! dashcam a year or so ago. Thankfully the only use I've had for it was showing my friends the video of me hitting a deer earlier today (thankfully no damage to car and deer ran off). I've reviewed videos and to me it seems like it would be good enough to get a number plate if needed.

I bought this one here.

Ik heb net een yi dashcam gekocht. Het leek me qua specificaties en prijs een geweldige optie, en na hem te testen ben ik er best tevreden van! Mooi beeld en goede software. De kijkhoek is met 165 graden lekker groot dus je kan alles echt goed zien. Ook snachts is het beeld duidelijk.

Het ding kost rond de vijftig euro, maar je moet dan wel nog een sd kaartje kopen, best een class 10 of hoger, en 32 gb slaat 4 uur video op in 1080p 30fps. Je kan ook 60fps doen, of een hogere resolutie, maar dan neem je best een groter sd kaartje.

Als de camera stroom krijgt neemt hij meteen op, en als de stroom er vanaf gaat gaat hij nog even door. Als dr geheugenkaart vol staat, verwijdert hij de oudste video's. Echt nul interactie nodig dus met dat ding nadat je hem hebt geïnstalleerd.

De app werkt lekker: je start de app en dan verbindt je telefoon automatisch via wifi met de dashcam, en dan kan je de instelling veranderen (dat kan ook via de cam zelf maar de app werkt lekkerder), de camerafeed bekijken, en video's op de sd kaart bekijken en eventueel kopiëren. Handig is dat er een accelerometer in de dashcam zit, waarmee hij dus plotse versnelling en vertraging voelt. Hij geeft bij het overzicht van de opgenomen video aan wanneer hij een plotse versnelling of vertraging voelde, dus het is erg makkelijk zo te vinden waar er eventueel wat mis ging.

Hij heeft ook extra features, zoals waarschuwingen tijdens het rijden wanneer je te dicht komt bij een voorligger of van de rijstrook af gaat, maar die heb ik nog niet getest, en volgens reviews werken die niet erg goed.

Ik heb hem voorlopig nog niet nodig gehad en hopelijk blijft dat ook zo :)

Voor het monteren: probeer de kabel weg te werken langs de bovenkant van de voorruit! Vaak kan je daar de binnenbekleding makkelijk ren beetje los trekken en dr kabel er zo in proppen. Werkte erg makkelijk in mijn auto, dus nu is die kabel mooi weggewerkt, en loopt hij zo naar de zijkant bij de passagier en daar langs de deur naar beneden, en dan weer naar het midden waar de usb lader zit.

Edit: enige minpunt tot nu toe is de houder die erbij zit. Die is goed, maar er zit plakspul op dat maar 1 keer werkt. En ik wil mijn dashcam nu verhangen (hij hangt nogal naar rechts, midden is beter) en dat kan dus niet tenzij ik nieuw plakspul koop, of een andere houder. Tip dus voor hebben ophangt: in het midden, en niet te hoog, of je ziet bij regen enkel het stuk raam waar je ruitenwissers niet komen, en dan zie je dus een pak minder ;)

Tried several cams over the years and purchased three of these for my cars (including VoltForce1). Flawless tech, easy install and blends really nice with the Windshield/OnStar module. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KZWMGFY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_z13-Ab128FKKK

I've been happy with this one. I have one mounted on the rear windshield too since wannabe racers almost wrecked my car from behind trying to keep up.

I was skeptical at first of a single ear wireless earbud for listening to audiobooks, but since I'm not listening to full cast, sound-effect laden audiobooks on the regular, I figured I'd give it a try and if it was crap, I'd just return it.

But I gotta say that I listen a lot more than I did with a set of wired headphones. I just pop that little earbud in and I'm gone. It's got great sound for just audiobooks, I don't have to dink around with wires, it charges super fast and holds its charge for quite a while.

Here's the link to it in the UK, where apparently only one person bought it, reviewed it, and hated it. https://www.amazon.co.uk/FOCUSPOWER-Bluetooth-Smallest-Invisible-Headphone/dp/B01M2ZOLLP/ref=lp_13826562031_1_1?srs=13826562031&ie=UTF8&qid=1519335589&sr=8-1

I don't mind paying more, but I'm having a hard time finding something that works better than the $26 Focuspower F10. The battery life is surprisingly good (6+ hours), they are tiny and don't stick out much, and the audio quality is good enough for podcasts and not bad for music. If I shove them in and give them a twist they stay in place pretty well during a run, and they aren't uncomfortable.

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.

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

Sorry for the late response.

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

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!

If you’re interested, it’s a great beginner cam. If you get it, make sure you get no larger than a 32 gb micro SD.

This is the new model of what I bought last year. It's cheaper than I remember. Amazon has pages and pages of them if this doesn't suit your needs.

Check this one out. It's the one I have. It has both a front and rear camera. Apparently it takes a specific kind of SD card like this one. Definitely glad I got mine as I do a ton of driving for work.

The thing's saved me $1500 and at least one other innocent driver $$$$ (he would have been found at fault if not for me providing dash cam footage to the insurance companies) when some idiot sped through an intersection and totaled his car.

I use this one. I've had no trouble with it and I love the clarity. The wire is extra long so you can tuck it into the paneling of your car and wrap it around to a power source. It looks really nice with no exposed or dangling wires. I also like that it automatically turns on and off with the car ignition so I never have to touch the camera. Just drive and forget.

Roav DashCam S1, by Anker, Dash... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DF8MQX1?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I have that one in my Prius. I like the Roav the best. It has GPS so speed in tracked also in case you get a wrongful ticket or need that info. They both work well though.

I spent a little over $1000 for a phantom 2, a gopro 4 black, a 2 axis gimbal and a couple other random things like extra batteries and carrying case. The older model phantom 2 (I got mine on ebay) goes for a bout $550 with the remote and a battery but without the zenmuse gimbal. The gopro was $500. The gimbal was $50 from china and it works amazingly well. Just as good as the h3-2d imo. those three things are pretty much all you need to start getting some good shots. So for about $1100 you could have a very good aerial rig. If you're looking for fpv also you can find really god kits for around $300. I threw together a cheap FPV kit of my own with stuff I found on Amazon. $38 Transmitter/Receiver $26 Monitor $7 Antenna set $10 Gopro Video Cable $17 3s lipo

I dont know what your financial situation is, but this one(~$50) is the cheapest one recommended by DashCamTalk.

The one I have is a mini 0803 which has been updated to the mini 0805 (~$80).

If you can find an affordable option that has capacitors instead of a battery, go that route as the battery will fail after a few months of hot weather and leave you without accurate time/date stamps on your videos, and you'll lose any other settings, but the device will still continue to work.

I currently have a SpyTec A119 on the way, but there are so many different features you may be interested in, take a look at that DashCamTalk site, or at least that BestOf page.

When it comes to driving, having a camera is always nice, I wish I had bought a nicer one sooner. There has been footage that was useless due to the poor video quality of my current cam. Unreadable license plates, or SAPD car numbers like in this video. I had a video of a guy turning in front of me, he had a snake around his neck, but upon reviewing the video you cannot make out the snake.

If you can afford it, definitely get one.

Most people suggest this one here I am using this but the capacitor version is always suggested over the battery. I haven't run into any issues so far. I can only see the corner of it poking out of my mirror so it doesn't obstruct my view.

I was able to hard wire it with these:

Power adaptor

Fuse add-a-curcuit

G1W-H, or if you're in a place that gets really hot and you don't want to deal with batteries exploding, G1W-C.

I used to use a GoPro but it gets too hot and has too short a recording time. And you have to manually turn it on and off. Not to mention the theft factor since they're so popular.

Get a G1W-C on Amazon from SpyTec. Video quality is superior to GoPro, IMO, though audio is worse. You turn your car on, it turns on, turn your car off, it turns off. Automatic overwriting. Set it and forget it. You can even hard wire it for 24/7 recording.

I use this one works alright.

https://www.amazon.ca/Spy-Tec-G1W-C-Camera-Capacitor/dp/B00JJ3SQRI

Here's one from a known reputable seller.
http://www.amazon.com/Spy-Tec-STI_G1W-C-Capacitor-Dashcam/dp/B00JJ3SQRI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1453177131&sr=8-2&keywords=G1W-C
This model has the capacitor which is generally preferred over battery.

I have a [Spy Tec STI_G1W-C Full HD 1080P Capacitor Edition Dashcam] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JJ3SQRI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and it takes just a quick twist to point it at the drivers or passenger window. It will rotate 360°, the power doesn't run through the swivel fitting, it plugs directly into the camera body. On one of my cars the glass is more "steep" and you have to tilt it a bit to turn a 90° but it's good enough.

G1W-H $50

16GB Class 6 Card $10

I have this setup, works great. Terribly hard to beat for the price

60 bucks

Got one for my dad, and it saved him $1500 (and god knows what insurance premiums) within a month.

I'm looking at 2 budget dash cams: The mobius and the g1wh.

The Mobius fits neatly behind the rear-view mirror and seems like the most discreet option out there because of its small size. However it doesn't have an lcd screen if that's important to you.

I also like the G1WH because it's a bit cheaper but still has good reviews. It has a screen, however its not as discreet as the mobius and may not fit behind your rear-view mirror. But for 50+ bucks its a bargain.

Check out /r/dashcam or www.dashcamtalk.com for more dash cams. Theres many other options out there.

First you have to decide what type you want - battery or capacitor?
Capacitor ones are costlier but they work well under heat unlike the battery. (In Vancouver, I don't think I needed a capacitor based cam)
Then you can search for that type, I try wirecutter first: http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-dash-cam/
I bought this spy tec for 60$ from amazon.ca which is cheap but works great!

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00KZ0J452/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Price seems high atm. Bought twice little under $60 not too long ago

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NG84AT0?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00

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.

You've pretty much described the A118-C. I have one and I like it. It gets the job done.

http://www.amazon.com/Black-Box-Capacitor-GPS-Stealth/dp/B00TXR2P40/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1458922632&sr=8-2&keywords=a118c

I just replaced the G1W in my wife's car with a A118/B40 capacitor. $100 shipped from Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/AUTO-VOX-Dashboard-Capacitor-Internal-Recording/dp/B00UUQD9L6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1467903549&sr=8-3&keywords=A118

I was not a fan of the G1W, it looks awful, hangs really low and blinds the driver at night since the screen turns on at power-up and you can't tuck it behind the mirror with the giant suction cup mount.

I installed the A118 last night, so we'll see how it goes.

https://dashcamtalk.com/b40-a118/
http://www.techmoan.com/blog/2014/10/26/the-a118-b40-wedge-dashcam-review.html

I have an A118C; stuck it behind the review mirror next to the remote starter receiver, and it just looks like part of the mirror, if you even notice it at all.

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00UUQD9L6/

It's mid range for pricing & features but easy to setup / use.

A118C. Got it for x-mas. Comes with great reviews, and I love it so far! It's on the sidebar of /r/dashcam along with some other options, depending on what features you're looking for.

Not as nice as another person's GoPro though, but that's because the GoPro is a $500 camera, and the A118 is $70.

Here's the GoPro footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZfH6DHnGjw

I use a dash cam with audio, I have installed this in both my car and my wife's. I am not sure if it will help in every situation, especially with a criminal who knows how to manipulate the system but it's at least one more tool in the good guys tool chest.

I use this to attach it to the rearview mirror if you can...summers and cheap tape dont mix well

Vantrue N2 Pro, been solid in the year and a half I've had it. I got this mirror clamp mount to use instead of the usual suction cup thing, $9 well spent (if a little annoying to get situated at first). I tuck the power cable through the headliner, down the door seal, and to the 12v outlet. Came out really clean.

This looks like it: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0102CK1BS/

I wish I'd known about this when I bought the suction cup mount for mine.

I use the Transcend DP520 and it works great! Also has good night vision. It's a bit pricey, but WELL worth it.

Road incidents are part of why I decided to order a /r/dashcam . More evidence for liability, and gives me a personal incentive to be a better driver and not lose my shit at people since it's recording me too. I personally ordered this one since it has a front and rear cam.

Now, if only Amazon would ship the damn thing already; it's already in the delivery window.

https://www.amazon.com/Transcend-Drive-Recorder-Suction-TS32GDP520M/dp/B0147R9PDO/

Get a decent dashcam. I have two of these in my car.

Screw Lyft and whatever policy they may have about it (they don't) this is your vehicle and your security. You are a private contractor according to them, they can't tell you what kind of hammer to use.

I use this with a 128gb card and have been happy with it:
https://www.amazon.com/Transcend-Drive-Recorder-Suction-TS32GDP520M/dp/B0147R9PDO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1550783504&sr=8-3&keywords=transcend+520

I have a Transcend Drivepro 520. It has the "cabin" camera as well as the front facing one. Good if you want to drive rideshare. Also, the cabin camera rotates independent of the front facing camera so if you get pulled over, you just twist it and catch the interaction on video. It's not perfect (getting the video off the camera takes forever over wifi, for example, but you could pop the SD card out instead if you wanted) but it's done the job for me.

This is the one I got

Pretty awesome video, and my charger was just long enough to wire it around so it’s not in view. Nothing fancy like phone connectivity or anything, but definitely great value for money.

Edit: I just posted a video of footage you can see in my profile

I've got an extra one of these in the box collecting dust if you'd like to buy it off me. I have one in my car and it's been great.

Dashcams are great. I really like this one that I've been using. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DLG9GFG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Anker Roav C1
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DF8MQX1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ugQ1DbRFTWWW3

Looks like it's gone up in price, however. Looked at my order details and I bought mine a couple years ago for $50.99. I wouldn't be surprised if they have a new cheaper model.

The one I have now is the Roav:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07DF8MQX1?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_title


barely notice it’s there unless you’re looking for it. The cam-to-phone wifi sucks balls though.

Supposed to be able to review footage on your phone but it’s like trying to watch HD Netflix on an Earthlink dialup.

Likely due to the resolution of the video, but you have to record in hi-res in order to capture license plates or for nighttime driving.

Had to review some footage the other day and connected it directly to the computer. Works fine for that.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DLG9GFG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_AGQvCb8WHN63G
This is the one i use and i absolutely love it, has a mode for whem your car is parked and it monitors surrounding and the video quality is really good

Hey buddy. I'm fairly new here just started driving for uber. Take a look at the recommendations they make on the right side bar here at /dashcam. I've been looking for a good one since last night. The transcend seems to be my favorite (obviously most expensive)@ $200 but I firmly believe you get what you pay. I wish there was a physical location to pick it up from other than Walmart (two that I've gone to have been completely sold out of all dash cams, not sure if I'm just unlucky) If you do decide to go online amazon has it for the low @ $149 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0147R9PDO/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

Unfortunately next day shipping is $25 but that is still better than what reddit says and what Walmart is

Also, heres a review on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4HfYizRHiw. Please take into consideration that to upload the video the creator of the content had to sacrifice a little resolution, but it's still a very sharp image that you can expect to be even better when in your own personal use.

I use YI 2.7, as well as a few of my colleagues.

It's currently expensive but they go on sale every few months. You'll need a micro sd card with it but those are cheap enough and a 8 or 16gb is enough space for a few hours of recording.

Should be more like $90.

I have this one - https://www.amazon.com/Pruveeo-F5-WiFi-Discreet-Design/dp/B01KZWMGFY

My ex got it for me insisting it was really high quality for the price ... clearly that was not the case. Despite the fact that it was on and pointing at the accident, it somehow magically decided to not start recording until after the firefighters and police arrived.

Heh its funny you commented on the clarity, because I didn't configure the thing at all when I got this clip, it's only in 720p mode but it's capable of 1080p if you take the time to do a firmware upgrade.



I went cheapish but high reviews and landed on this guy:

Only real complaint so far is the power cable they send with it is mini usb straight into the power adapter. This meant it took up my outlet entirely with no options for powering other thing. I already had a dual usb power thing in my lighter outlet so I just opted to get the cabling from microcenter to be able to use the existing power setup I had and still keep one port open for my phone to charge, etc. Love the size, I tucked it behind my rear view mirror so I don't have to see the screen as I find it kinda annoying.

I'd say some kind of Mp3 player with Bluetooth if you don't want a smartphone. You could get a cheap android phone just for podcasts or a dedicated Mp3 player like this one. If you want to download things over wifi you'd be better to go with a cheap android. Then get some small Bluetooth headphones, something like this you can wear at work.

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.

This is the camera that's on my dash

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.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M592J9C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M592J9C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

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 bought the Rexing V1LG. I'm very happy with it, and it was a great value for a front & rear cam. This particular camera was recommended to me by someone who's had their Rexing for 2 years. Supposedly their customer service is also very good if you have questions or issues.

Blackvue cams are very nice. I run a Rexing V1LG and have no complaints.

Interesting, I'm using the hardwire kit directly into my fusebox with the V1LG. Might just be a Rexing thing after all. And thanks! My first submission after having this for a few months.

I am happy with my Rexing V1LG. The camera is stuck to the plastic frame behind the rearview mirror and I placed the rear camera under the wiper.

It is a little bulky by today's standards, but it's discreet from the outside and doesn't impede vision. I have the hardwire kit, ran the line down to the A-pillar and used a fuse tap in the footwell fuse box. The front-to-rear wire runs behind the headliner and passenger side pillars.

I had some bad luck with the SD card. It ate through two of them pretty quickly, but the third card has stuck around for well over a year without issue.

Rexing V1LG Dual Channel Car Dash Cam FHD 1080p 170° Wide Angle Dashboard Camera Recorder with HD Rear Camera, Built-in GPS Logger, G-Sensor, WDR, Loop Recording https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071LPV7G6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_wx30DbMAG8KXZ

Are you shitting me? For $200 it better have gps. There are plenty of dash cams out there with mini cams meant for reversing that you could use for inside the car, if you are looking for a dual lens cam. This Dashcam by Roav/Anker is a great product. Comes with the right 32gb micro sd card you need for recording and it has WiFi to connect to your phone to display what it sees, as well as other info, in the app. It also has GPS built in, great feature for tracking your trips. Shock sensor, etc. I really like that you mount it and take it off the mount when you want, unlike others where you end up ruining the suction cup. One of my favorite features is how Anker really does look out for you by providing not only the MicroSD card but a 2-Port charger and a cable. This is by the same company but it’s a cheaper, A1. This one doesn’t come with the micro SD but if found a nice one for $7-10. It also has WiFi so it syncs with an app on your phone but no gps. They also give you a charger but only a 1 port. IMO you can spend a ton on some random dash cam or buy quality and from a company with great customer service aka Anker. If it’s dual lens you’re looking for, I’m currently shopping around as well finding draw backs with each one. If only Roav made one...

I want one so bad. My friend has one that saved her when someone backed into her at a light and they tried to say she rear ended them. The one she has is here: Dash Cam, Crosstour 1080P Car DVR Dashboard Camera Full HD with 3" LCD Screen 170°Wide Angle, WDR, G-Sensor, Loop Recording and Motion Detection (CR300) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078B56BYJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_yOaACbX55C092

Ah gotcha. I think I've settled with the A119S v2, hopefully firmware lets it get the full potential of the sensor change. So to hardware that, all I would need then is this? I'd be buying from Amazon since its cheaper than on BlackBoxMyCar as well

Looks like Mazda's power socket is a crappy design. Pair that with the slightly crappy design of the A119's 12V plug and you have your issue.

Some choices of solution:

• Replace the A119's 12V adapter with another one, like this one as a quick example.
  
• Get some sort of twin socket or extension cord to plug the A119 plug through.
  
• Hardwire the dashcam to your fuse box rather than plugging it into the lighter socket.

I run them through the headliner and use a kit similar to this one: https://www.amazon.com/Spy-Tec-Hardwire-Fuse-A119S/dp/B01N0GR4ON/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1492709800&sr=8-2&keywords=dash+cam+install

My wife's jeep doesn't have a fuse box in the passenger cabin, so I tapped into the rear view mirror's power wires.

Oh sure I was honest in saying you will eventually spend a heck of a lot more. Yet my point is that too many people think it's too expensive.

Fpv shopping list for one on a budget:
(Do your own research next time)
Monitor
7" TFT LCD Color https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007SLDF7O/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_NxCXub0G1JF6N
$27 hook you TX and a 12th source and you have video.

Now for the good stuff...
700 TVL Surveillance Camera https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004GMAAJY/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_zACXub1JMVWMM
$30 strip the camera out and hook it up to a 3S battery. Your video. This is your basic over priced $60 Sony board camera.

Now for your TX/RX:
1.2G 8ch video transmitter and receiver https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M7TBAZG/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_3FCXub0RC8NSF
$65

I'm at $120 here. All prime and definitely not the absolute cheapest solution.

If you don't have a soldering iron go to harbor freight and pick one up for $10. Get flux and solder for another $10.

Build your own antennas, I did. Lazy people spend $60 on a pair of antennas.

My point is this hobby can be a cheap or expensive as you make it. I'm tired of the misconceptions with "drones", the media portrays us as idiots. Yet many of us are genius.

Use your creativity and build something cheap or buy something expensive but make the hobby what you want to make it. If you lack the technical skill to build, there are plenty of alternatives just be willing to pay.

This is the monitor for anyone who cares

I'm trying to be able to display a grayscale picture stored on my Arduino mega 2560. The monitor takes a composite video signal. How should I start? What library could I use if any exists? Do I need to use an SD card?
Thanks!

This is what I will be using. It can run on a 3S battery and is only $26 bucks. Has 2 inputs too. Cant go wrong: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007SLDF7O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I used This monitor mounted on a pvc frame. I used a lipo 5000mah 11.1v battery. I use the GoPro combo cable (because I already had it for external mic/power) and connect it to the RCA on the TV. You can get a mini USB to RCA adapter on ebay for a few bucks. Hope this helps!

EDIT: I thought you said Hero 3... sorry! I don't know what kind of connectors the camera has on it. I use hero 3 cameras with my setup.

it's possible, but the amount of extra equipment you'd need would outweigh and outprice the cheaper LCD option i mentioned earlier. You can get a 7" lcd on amazon prime for like <$25 like this http://amzn.com/B007SLDF7O and hook it up to the boscam reciever. Power everything with a 3s lipo.

whats the difference between that and http://www.amazon.com/Falcon-Zero-F360-HD-Mirror/dp/B00E56WY18/ref=pd_sim_107_2?ie=UTF8&dpID=41HcYxHvzcL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=1Z3CBN2XWR860M1A012Q

other than the SD card and $50?

I run a Falcon Zero F360, but use their provided USB plugin. I don't notice the camera or plugin at all. Ran the wire through my roofliner, side column and inside the dash, until I got to the USB port (only 6-8 inches of cord showing at the bottom and top)

(comes with a 3 USB plug in, so you dont loose a port.)

I love this one. It plugs into your cigarette lighter and because it goes over your rear view mirror, you won't get an obstruction of view ticket from a cop if ever pulled over. It's also super easy to use and has two cameras (front facing and rear facing or you can both front facing) it uses an SD card and overwrites itself when it runs out of space so unless you want to save something off of it you never have to deal with the memory.
Edit: it also records audio, but you can turn that off if you sing in your car like me

OP said it what this one in the other thread.

Yo compré la mía en Amazon: Falcon Zero F360

Con esta, lo único que tienes que hacer es clippearla encima de tu retrovisor, y conectar la vaina al encendedor. Super fácil de instalar y de mantener.

This was the very first time I used it. On the freeway for 5 seconds and bam!

$50 on Amazon.

EDIT: This is the one I have. You can also get it in a "capacitor" version that works better in hot climates. I've never had an issue here, but if you park in the sun a lot you might want the capacitor version.

and they aren't even expensive. You can get cheap ones, but you can also get really decent ones for $60.

$50 for probably the most popular dashcam our there right now.

[G1W?] (http://www.amazon.com/G1W-Recorder-Dashboard-Dashcam-Authentic/dp/B00JJ3L84G)

Seems good enough. I have an old car, and mostly just want it for "fun". I want something small I can take out of my car while I'm not in it so it doesn't get stolen.

Hope you find some info. You should get one of these. I got one recently and it works very well. Even in high temps.

Last updated Sept 28, 2015. The Wirecutter "best of" articles seem to be very well researched and very thorough. They select the G1W as the best, with the reminder to be careful not to buy a fake.

I'd recommend looking at /r/dashcam for advice. I have this one but there are probably better, newer models available now.

Good ones can be had for less. Its hard to beat the G1w-c.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JJ3SQRI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Paid around $70, decent IMO wish it recorded speed and other GPS info

So basically it's this bundle here? http://www.amazon.com/Recorder-Dashboard-Dashcam-Authentic-NT96650/dp/B00KZ0J452/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=undefined&sr=8-3&keywords=Novatek+96650+g1wh

I 100% AGREE.

Ive used this cam the G1WH for 3 years.



It has recorded 60,000km of driving in temperatures ranging from +40 to -40. ZERO issues. I get 4 hours on a 32gig card. Its self records/deletes on 10min clips.



Here are examples of my G1WH in action

Dash Cams GTA



Kavens World - Dash Cams

I've bought this for myself and family members. It's pretty basic as far as camera's go. Meaning it doesn't have gps functionality, wireless or bluetooth connectivity, or speed recognition. It's just a camera. It can display the date and time when you set it too and it records footage at a decent quality.

It records in good quality, has basic functionality and will automatically record over old footage unless you tell it not too so you don't need to worry about clearing the video. Just make sure you pull your clip before it overwrites, depending on the quality and framerate you might get like 20-40 hours of footage on a 32 gb sd card. You need to buy that separately. I'm not sure if you can change this but it will record clips and save them in 5 minute increments. It automatically starts and stops when you power on and power off your vehicle.

It's a capacitor based camera, not a battery. A battery camera will tend to last ~5 minutes or so after it loses power, which means that if you're in an accident where it loses power it will continue to record. A capacitor will last much shorter after it loses power. Capacitors tend to do better/safer in extreme weather. If you have a garage and park indoors at work or you're vehicle is always sheltered a battery might be better. Extreme heat and cold will both affect the battery.

It also records sound, you can turn that on or off if you don't want recordings to have you singing in the background.

Take a gander at various youtube reviews. The people who review this shit do it for a living and can really point out the high and low points of cameras and guide you to what's suitable for your situation.

Been using it since March and the camera has frozen probably 3 times in total, I just unplug to let it die and it restarts fine.

Good point!

Looks like it's the G1WH.

I got a GW1H a couple of years ago, and like it. There have been a lot of new entrants over the past couple of years though.

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)

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

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TXR2P40/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_54hoxbHN6NYG4

After researching I think I've settled on this one

I'd like to put them in all my cars, but the one I have, Black Box B40-C, occasionally doesn't power on when I start the car if it is a couple days between starting. I love the camera and I'm fine with just pushing the power button. But I know no one else would notice in the other cars... I need a camera that reliably will record without any interaction for months.

Is this normal for them to occasionally need to be manually powered on?

Got this one with GPS last April and it's awesome for what I need it to do.

Night video leaves a lot of be desired, but it gets the basic job done fine.

Haven't used it myself but I bought this for a family member recently.

Two very solid dashcams. /r/dashcam can be of help too! :)

I would not get one that cheap with some of the reviews indicating it stopped working so quickly. Below is a link to what I've been using for almost a year (purchased last June), in Texas where it is about as hot as Florida. It has worked great for me so far and it keeps the date & settings saved even if I don't use my car for a few days (losing the date and settings was a problem with other capacitor based cameras I'd used). It is less expensive than the Guardian brand models, night footage might not be as good as those but it is adequate for me. I feel this one was a good deal. But there are plenty of good cameras out there.

http://www.amazon.com/AUTO-VOX-Dashboard-Capacitor-Internal-Recording/dp/B00UUQD9L6?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage

EDIT: So, while that above link is what I am using in one of my cars and I've been happy with it so far, there are also other options such as this one just under 100 bucks that seem to have overall better reviews and more reviews. So, this might be even better, but I have no experience with it: http://www.amazon.com/Rexing-Dashboard-Recorder-G-Sensor-Recording/dp/B00X528FNE/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_sims?ie=UTF8

AUTO-VOX A118C Dash Cam. Nothing fancy. It was affordable and gets the job done.

Yeah, it's this one here. It's a few years old so there's probably better alternatives out now but it does the job

thx for the reply, from what i've been reading thats what a lot of people sugges for this price range is there any difference between this and this

I got tired of the suction cup failing, so I got this one and got it tucked behind my rear view better

It fit my G1W-C before I replaced it, and yours looks like it was based on that model

I bought this and it works fantastic. It also helped make the footage more clear than before, I noticed the suction cup mount that came with my G1W-C was doing exactly what you described. (I live nearby, and this 112 degrees weather is just brutal!)

I use this Dash Cam Mirror Mount - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0102CK1BS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ZJ1zCb8FK7H89

I bought this. You don't have to worry about that coming off, and you don't have to buy a new one to swap it to a new vehicle. It has a bracket that fits the Yi dashcam. I have this exact setup and have 0 complaints.

I take it this is the one you bought?

I have a Transcend Drive Pro 520 and like it quite a bit.

Hmm, what about http://www.amazon.com/RearView-Headrest-Monitor-Support-Rotating/dp/B007SLDF7O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1404768541&sr=8-1&keywords=fpv+monitor ?

I actually found that Boscam I linked to earlier on Amazon for a little cheaper and it comes with free 2 day shipping. I try to avoid HobbyKing when I can find an alternative. I mainly just search HobbyKing for reviews and discussion on products I can find elsewhere.

Would that monitor be okay? I see it has the required AV inputs, though my confusion would be powering it. I still haven't looked into it a whole lot yet, because I'm on break at work right now and about to go back in but will read up more later.

The whole laptop idea seemed simpler to me, though I did not take into account issues when streaming. My main goal was to just have an easy, portable, battery powered 'monitor' to haul with me.

There's lots to choose from:
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=7%20inch%20tft

these are the ones I used.

We've just installed a system with a monochrome CCTV camera (£10) from eBay, lots of coax and a load of £25 7'' monitors (http://www.amazon.co.uk/ePathChina%C2%AE-Camera-Monitor-Support-Rotating/dp/B007SLDF7O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396316279&sr=8-1&keywords=tft+colour+monitor) and a big TV for the green room.

Worked out very cheap and is a lot easier to 'make work' than an IP camera system for the less technical types.

not really, the built in FPV on the vision is crap, and the camera isn't that great, you made the right choice setting up your own rig and getting a go pro that you can actually use without your phantom. this is the monitor and i have it wired up to this battery pack. I spent about 170 total and have 3x the range and better quality than a vision or vision+

You would be better off to use seperate fpv cam.The video he only uses temporary connections but this gives an idea of setup.You may be able to get all these parts at banggood if thats better,and transmitter receiver from hobbyking.This is about as cheap and good as it gets.This is just my opinion with little knowledge about fpv.BTW I have that monitor and quite impressed.The tripod I linked is pretty good aswell.

You'll want to look for a low-cost/low-spec 7" LCD TV, although sometimes it may be a 7" video display with no TV tuner. If you're in the US, this one on Amazon looks similar/identical to the one OP has for $26.20. It has a mounting/rotating assembly intended for car installation, although it looks like it should be able to stand on its own (similar to OP's photo).

Keep in mind that these are also low-res too, and you'll have to use the composite output of the Raspberry Pi for video. If you want sound, that might be possible too by connecting a 3.5mm to RCA jack cable to the Pi's headphone connector. Some of these have batteries too, although the one I linked to designed for car use may not. If it does have a battery and TV tuner though, it might also be useful as a battery-powered "emergency TV".

I have one of these that I bought on clearance for around US$25 a few years ago (from CVS of all places) sitting around. Previously I've given thought to using in a Pi project, but this post gave me a little bit of inspiration to give it a shot. Thanks OP!

this is a decent screen for 25 bucks. if you want to order from china you can get it for under 20.

I use the Falcon F360. Dual 1080P Cameras, decent night vision, easy to setup and use, and supports up to a 64GB memory card. Mounts on the mirror, and has a long power cable so it can be hidden.

I've had them in both my vehicles for 2 summers now and they are still going strong.

I'm looking at getting rid of my current dash cam the Falcon Zero 360 because it is a giant piece of shit. Whatever you do, stay away from this model or the other copycat crappy Chinese models, from what i found this is sold under a bunch of different names with the same hardware.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E56WY18/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have this one, Two swivel cams, one can see in the cab, the other the front of the vehicle. Super easy to install. Highly recommend. Be warned though that the instructions are very difficult to understand (unless you read Chinese or Russian).

It is a little pricier than when I bought it, but there are similar models by different brands out there.

This is what I have my eye on.

So recordings from something like this can be converted to a 360° video?

Amazon. I got one that slips over my rear view mirror and shows inside the cab (I have it pointed at the center and half of the passenger seat, as well as the front of my car.

I love it! Had to get a different memory card, the one it came with didn’t work. Bought in August 2016, still works. I drive Uber sometimes and I don’t want to take chances.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E56WY18/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yeah I need to test it out and also take it out of the car when I am not using it since its been horribly hot here.

I do IT for a living so I know my toys. We will see when I get it how well it works.

Except it is of a previous Gen. The rearview doesnt work as well as you would think for my car during the daytime. Too much sun wont allow for viewing outside of the car.

I got this on sale for $100.

It's ok, but I know there are some much, much better ones out there. The cameras aren't very high quality and the rear facing camera is pretty much useless for seeing things outside of the car

I actually just bought one off amazon for like $120.

I plan on getting this one... And it has capacitor to handle the heat.

I use this dashcam.
https://www.amazon.com/Spy-Tec-STI_G1W-C-Capacitor-Dashcam/dp/B00JJ3SQRI

It is working perfectly fine. I don't backup the footage everyday, will do it only when any incident happens.

A decent dashcam is much cheaper than you might think.

The G1W-C dashcam is awesome.

I use G1W-c (capacitor), it is generic and was on sale when I bought it for $50ish. https://www.amazon.ca/Spy-Tec-G1W-C-Camera-Capacitor/dp/B00JJ3SQRI you can play around with the firmware too. Takes decent video and most important thing for me is the capacitor, so I will never need to replace the battery in it and won't run out from depleted battery.

I got this'n, I got the capacitor-based one because it's supposed to hold up to high temperatures better, because Texas. So far it's worked pretty well, sometimes the loop recording doesn't work and it just stops recording when the memory card fills up. Just have to wipe it manually and then it's fine again. I use a 32gb card so it takes a while to fill up.

Look into a dashcam, i just bought this one and it works perfect for the price, here is a video that somebody recorded using it and i got my cellphone if they ask me to get out.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00JJ3SQRI/ref=aw_wl_ov_dp_1_2?colid=1K48IXV3NSZLN&coliid=I1LZLLWDC00MIA is the one I always see recommended this is the C model that uses a capacitor instead of battery to deal with direct heat. Drop the C to find the normal model. Its about $70. I'm saving to buy one

Here is the amazon link for the camera I purchased

not the exact one but, along the same lines.

G1WH in my Honda, A119c in my dads Jeep.

This is the one I guess?

Simple, cheap, and effective.

Mine isn't made anymore but here is it's updated replacement:

www.amazon.com/Spy-Tec-Recorder-Dashboard-Authentic/dp/B00KZ0J452

It says 64GB microSD like mine did, but I never could find a 64GB SD that worked with mine. Maybe they fixed it in the update.

Chipset: Novatek NT96650 Chipset + Aptina AR0330 Lens
Lens Angle: 140° wide angle lens
Decode Format: H.264
Video Resolution: 1080P HD (1920 x 1080) 30fps, 720P (1280 x 720) 30fps,
720P 60fps/WVGA (848 x 480) 30fps, VGA (640 x 480) 30fps

Do you happen to know if the 2 a linked to are the real ones?

For example, Spy Tec: http://www.amazon.com/Spy-Tec-G1WH-Dashboard-140%C2%B0/dp/B00KZ0J452

And Black Box: http://www.amazon.com/Black-Box-G1W-H-Hidden-Dashboard/dp/B00HMNFWYW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1452932558&sr=8-1&keywords=G1WH

Spy Tec G1WH. Capable of wide angle, and 1080p/30fps recording. The way it works is that it records in 5 minute blocks - once it runs out of room in the memory card, it overwrites the oldest block. The caveat is that it doesn't play well with Class 10 micro sd cards, so I use a 32GB Class 6. I believe I have an 8-10 hour window of current 1080p footage, which should be more than sufficient.

I also purchased a dashcam hard-wire kit, in conjunction with an add-a-fuse kit. It might sound daunting to a layman, but it was actually incredibly simple to wire up. With it, the dashcam turns on when I turn the car on (I wired it in to the car stereo), and turns off when I turn the car off. This was necessary for me because one alternative, using a power adapter plugged into the cigarette lighter, wouldn't work due to my cigarette lighter always being powered, even when the truck is turned off. Also, my install is clean as hell - the only things visible are the cam itself, and about four inches of power wire running up to the headliner.

Here are the specific items I purchased, on Amazon:

Dashcam, $53 Prime
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KZ0J452

Hardwire kit, $15 shipped
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00S73FE8A

Add-A-Fuse, $11 Prime
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GKEXK2

Rearview mirror mount, $9 Prime
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JWGC29U

Class 6 32GB MicroSDHC + adapter if you don't already have one, $16 Prime
www.amazon.com/dp/B00IVPU7DQ

Running total for everything above, to your door, about $105. Install takes about ten-fifteen minutes by yourself. You can probably get a local shop to do it if you prefer, for a cost. Hell, I'd even lend a hand if you wanted, so long as you promise you aren't a total fucking weirdo.

Edit to answer your second question: Yeah, I like it. For $100, it's probably the best quality you'll find. With it installed, I often forget it's even there; it's tucked away behind my mirror. The peace of mind that it adds, should I ever need it myself, is great. Also, catching stuff like what's in the video is a huge bonus!

I bought spytec, cost around $60, records HD, works well.
https://www.amazon.ca/Spy-Tec-Recorder-Dashboard-Authentic/dp/B00KZ0J452

Thank you thank you thank you! Feel silly not knowing what it was called (ends up in a lot of wasted google searches)

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.

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!?

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.

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

So this misses your dual channel key feature, but I got it a year ago and it held up to the heat in Phoenix, AZ nicely.

http://www.amazon.com/Black-Box-Capacitor-GPS-Stealth/dp/B00TXR2P40?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00

I've had this one for a little over a year now and it's been great. I hardwired it to a switched fuse so it turns on and off with the car, and the two sided tape has made sure it stays put on the windshield. It was small enough that I was able to mount it in front of my rear view mirror, so most of the time I forget it's even there.

I have this one in my Prius...works pretty well. I haven't installed one in my Lexus yet.

It doesn't get as hot as that here but I was also interested in a capacitor based cam.

I got the Black Box B40-C from amazon for less than $80. I believe this is a 118 cam.

One thing I liked about this cam is that the cables attach from the top rather than the side. It makes for a very stealthy install.

That is the same shape I was looking at but the price is way better, plus this one comes with GPS stuff and a capacitor. Thanks for your recommendation! https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00TXR2P40/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?qid=1464315100&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=B40%2FA118&dpPl=1&dpID=41m3ffJV8RL&ref=plSrch

There is a custom shop by me, I might see of I can get them to put power in the back of my car so I can put my g1w on the back window.

This guy right here, Black Box B40-C

I'm pretty sure this is it. I like how I can hide it behind my mirror. The quality is decent, and it has a battery that allows the camera to continue to record for a certain amount of time after the engine is shut off.

Most of the time I forget it's there until something fun happens on the road. Have had it for over a year and the peace of mind is worth way more than the cost of the camera.

Edit: Looks like for $15 more you can get one of a similar format that is more favorably reviewed. Rexing.

Here is the link It is nice and sleek, not too noticeable in the vehicle. Great Quality!!!

Edited* You can also purchase a hard wiring kit, I wired mine into my mirror.

I have an A118C & like it. Good picture & fits all requirements you listed.
EDIT: Although, the rear cam is of lower quality come to think of it.
I may spend 29 bucks on amazon for a replacement= hd cam for the rear

In case you don't want to do what is often suggested here (wire into the fuse box), maybe I have something for you.

I got this for my 2017 hatch. The cord it came with was long enough. With camera mounted just to the passenger side of rear view mirror, the cord runs along top of windshield to the passenger door frame, tucked along the trim down the front of the door frame to the bottom, under the passenger seat, and into the center console. It really only has maybe a few inches of slack, it's actually quite ideal length. The only spot it's really visible is where it crosses from the upper corner of the windshield to the door frame. There's a seam in the interior there so I'm sure it could be hidden but I didn't want to start taking pieces of my interior off in order to get the cord behind without causing damage (I mean, at that point you may as well go the fusebox route).

Is this the model you went with? I see several on Amazon but it seems there's half a dozen "A118C" with minor differences and all of the lower priced ones have about 3 stars. This one seemed to rank a bit better and have more info
https://www.amazon.com/AUTO-VOX-Dashboard-Capacitor-Internal-Recording/dp/B00UUQD9L6/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1502665119&sr=8-8&keywords=A118C+dash+cam

Since 2016 - it was this one - out of production now but it's newer A119 versions are available. It's been parked in the Phoenix sun for about a year now and where I moved from before was quite toasty too.

I also use a Roav in my jeep
higher quality video but it has a battery - I do keep that car garaged and out of the sun.

Why not a dashcam with a ball-joint, like this one?

Transcend 520.

There are cheaper cams for sure, but most don't have the in-car video. I actually bought a more expensive one than this Transcend, but it doesn't do in car video so looking to replace it with this one...

Thank you again for your time and help with this. It looks like I will have to compromise some features. The car is sometimes left in the garage days at a time. Perhaps a dual camera setup like cabs/ubers have would catch the sides of the cars so at least I could identify the vehicle type.

The Transcend DP520 that is recommended at the right looks almost perfect, but the interior facing camera is only 110 degrees, so it might not capture what I want. https://www.amazon.com/Transcend-Drive-Recorder-Suction-TS32GDP520M/dp/B0147R9PDO/

I bought the Transcend DP520 and tried it for the first time last night. Worked way better than expected. I normally tend to drive at night and the video inside and out looked pretty good.

I’ve had this one for 3 weeks; can’t work out why they’re so cheap, it’s very easy to set up and the image quality of amazing.

Can clearly see number plates in the day and he night quality is superb too - don’t even need to remove the memory card (had to buy separate) as you use the mobile app to download footage.

I fully expected to return this thinking it would be crap, but it’s miles better than something you’d get from Halfords at twice the price.

Jeg har endelig taget mig sammen og bestilt et dashcam.

Jeg kiggede rundt på internettet anbefalinger til et ordentligt dashcam til en overkommelig pris.

Mine krav var;

op til 64GB SD kort.

nemt aftageligt

Billedkvalitet der gør det muligt at se en nummerplade, også om natten.

Det viste sig at være besværligt. Alle de som var anbefalet på nettet, til omkring 60-80USD var ikke tilgængelige i EU. For slet ikke at snakke om at det danske marked er opbygget udelukkende af 1k+ modeller.

Jeg var så heldig nok til at finde dette på den engelske amazon, til 400kr inklusiv fragt.

Så nu glæder jeg mig bare til det kommer.

I've got a Yi Dashcam, for forty quid you really can't go wrong. You'll need a micro SD if you don't already have one laying around.

This won't solve the issue of your car being vandalised - it only works when the engine is on. However, there is a pretty good in-home security cam from the same manufacturer. Pointing this out the window at the car should be more than sufficient, it has motion detection which reliably works through a window.

Keep your eye on this Xiaomi one - there are regularly offer codes to bring it down to £30 and it's very good quality. Best feature is that you can connect wirelessly from your phone to download videos, so no faffing around with the SD card!

Edit: in fact there's a lightning deal coming up at 6:30pm tonight of this, which will probably bring it down to the £30 mark.

Noi siamo stati fortunati com l'incidente perché ci hanno tamponato da davanti, quindi la camera ha registrato quasi tutto

Comunque il modello è questo ;YI Dash Cam Telecamera per Auto 1080P Alta Risoluzione HD, WiFi Integrata, Grandangolo di 165° - Registrazione di Guida DVR con Visione Notturna https://www.amazon.it/dp/B01CXDP69G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_rNf-Bb49TMS0D

Se proprio vuoi provare e non hai esigenze particolari io mi sono trovato bene con le action cam Yi. Fanno anche dash cam tipo questa, leggermente meno della metà del centello che volevi spendere.

Ninja edit: c'è anche questa, ma non so la differenza tra le due.

Io ad esempio sono ancora indeciso se prendere due Yi o andare di questa e tagliare la testa al toro. Anzi, qua a Napoli me ne servirebbero una ventina.

I bought two of these Yi Dash cams. One for the front and one for the rear. https://www.amazon.co.uk/YI-1080P60-Dashboard-G-Sensor-Recording-grey/dp/B01CXDP69G

Extras I had to buy were memory cards and a 5m extension USB cable

That’s the first two of the 4-5 listed on the YouTube link.

Not the BlackVue but it decided to go with this one due to a hot climate here in Florida (capacitor instead of battery). I highly recommend it.

VIOFO A119 Car Dash Cam HD 1440P 2.0 Inch TFT LCD Screen Capacitor Novatek 96660 H.264 2K (without GPS mount) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IEQU9WK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_kPTGAbBGSTSEM

I got you

Should be the same one I have, Viofo A119

A119 no GPS https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IEQU9WK V45SWVI3 for a month 10%discount; A119+GPS https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IEQUABA I56TDYFM for a month 10%discount; A119+GPS+Hard wire https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KHC3I2M 4ZUK432I for a month 10%discount; A119+GPS+64GB https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KHC3I6S PLYVXHJR for a month 10%discount; A119+GPS+64GB+Hard wire https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KHC3I9A WVZ7S75V for a month 10%discount

Late to this party, but I recommend the Viofo A119 with the gps mount. GPS mount makes it easier to remove the camera if need-be as well as makes routing the USB cable easier. Its wedge shape keeps it pretty well hidden at the top of the windshield, especially if your windshield has those black dots or the gradient. Has SD card alert, shoots up to 1440p or 1080p @ 60fps, and the lens can be moved up and down as well as left and right- makes it easy to adjust if you didn't mount it perfectly.

The only thing that might not make it worth it to some is that it has a capacitor instead of a battery, so when you turn the car off the camera turns off (very) shortly after.

The versions are very similar at a glance. I just purchased this one with the polarized filter. Excellent image quality.

checked out some reviews/videos, and i'm looking at the same model you have:

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01IEQU9WK/

or this one, the Yi (couldn't find one that wasn't li-ion though?)

https://www.amazon.ca/YI-Compact-Dashboard-G-Sensor-Recording/dp/B01CW4BEP6/

plus this fuse kit

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01N686R48/

question: is this a DIY job? or can you recommend a local installer?

> Viofo A119

This guy?

WOW !! I have never been "summoned" before. 8 years I've been on Reddit. Feels pretty cool.

Ok, here's MY situation with the camera. I got the
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IEQU9WK/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_13?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2E2D732KBQJI9

as recommended by the fine folks here at r/dashcam.

I've only come close to needing it once...and didn't wind up needing it. (Delivery truck driver ran a stop sign right in front of my bus while dicking with his phone.... annnd there was cop ahead I just slowed down, popped the door open,pointed and said "get'em !")

BUT, after that incident my boss filled me in (we watched the bus cameras..which i found out had a front facing camera..but it can't read plates.)

Our D.A. absolutely will NOT prosecute without video and a plate number. And a plate number is too hard to get because (as you know) I need to focus on the kids.

So yeah the A119 gets that plate number for me, with zero effort on my part.
It's solid, it's cheap and it get's the job done.

Mine is actually behind me and to the left it has a low deflection shot of that license plate and there's no mistaking that somebody is running my stop sign.

FORTUNATELY, I have a semi-rural route in Wisconsin...and hardly anybody runs my stop sign. I've really only had that one bad incident. (and a cop just happened to be close by)

Don't know the exact model, but it's a Pruveeo.

I've used this since may of last year

Close call

I bought this.

pruveeo F5

I already started the refund process with amazon.

What's your budget? A good entry level one for super cheap is this Pruveeo one. I put this one in my wife's car. Works great!

So, I have one of these and it works well but I've only had it since December.

I bought this kit to hook it into my fuse panel. Works great.

My only complaint is that the settings don't stick all of the time and the company's response was to send me a second one (which they let me keep the first) and when that did the same they just told me to "use the default settings."

I didn't but it still works :P

$37; it's not that hard: https://amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01KZWMGFY

Save your money and get this, $29 and we use it in every vehicle. Worked great for insurance purposes in a previous accident.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KZWMGFY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

About $50 canadian. Uses wifi to download the video onto your phone. Works like a charm.

OK I have a question about bluetooth earbuds. I want a model I can wear in one ear (mono?) to listen to music/podcasts while running outside while still being aware of what's going on around me. I already know about bone conduction headphones .

I bought this one and technically it works fine but it doesn't stay in/on my ear that well (the earbud part is too big to really stick in my ear securely, and the over-ear part is a little too big for my ears).

Has anyone bought something similar that they like and that fits really securely? I'm also looking at something smaller like this but can't find any that have a fin attachment, so again I'm worried it would fall out. I know there are "truly wireless" sport earbuds that have the fun but I would only ever wear one at a time.

Another maybe dumb question which could totally change what I'm looking for -- are these single-ear models only good for podcasts and phone calls? Am I only getting one ear's worth of stereo music sound?

Thanks

They make bluetooth single earbuds.

https://www.amazon.com/FOCUSPOWER-Bluetooth-Smallest-Invisible-Headphone/dp/B01M2ZOLLP/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1541817442&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=earbuds+bluetooth+wireless&dpPl=1&dpID=31IHC%2B5oi-L&ref=plSrch

You could even buy air pods and use one at a time while the other charges in the case.

I am not sure if Bluetooth transmitters also receive microphone input, but I use a Bluetooth earbud and this transmitter. The latency is low and the quality is good. If you have a Bluetooth headset already it saves some money, otherwise I also use this headset. This one is only one ear, but any headset should work.

I am also uncertain, but I think must USB headsets, even wireless, should work with the study regardless of if it says "Switch compatible," but I have no evidence to back my claim.

I really like [this one] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M2ZOLLP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_37dMzbW0R6ZGM) when I still want to hear what's going on around me.

Mini most reviews - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M2ZOLLP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_USu3DbGD9TN1T

Nude color - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MQVMFUN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_7Uu3DbC53ZS41

Ask your boss to use headphones or something. I use one of these to listen to podcasts all day, and it's awesome.

I couldn't work in a place where I didn't have control over what I'm listening to all day. Hell is other people.

I've recently (as in, this past Sunday) got this off Amazon, and they're coming in tomorrow. I'll make sure to edit the comment in case they're absolute trash (or if they're really great).

I find I end up not listening to podcasts a whole lot but I do have a handful I like listening to pretty often and I think this might be good to help with that when I'm out and about.

Given the reviews, the slight link increase over the other ones posted in the thread (that I had also seen) looked like an alright sacrifice.

I used this for a while, it actually sounds really good and the battery lasts quite a while if you follow the charging instructions (don't charge overnight) https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M2ZOLLP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

bluetooth earbud + NHL app + radio = party at work

EDIT - this is what I have, but there are lots of similar choices

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.

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

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.

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.

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

https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Dashboard-Camera-Recorder-6-Lane/dp/B01M592J9C

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M592J9C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06__o00_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

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

https://www.fakespot.com/

Same! I got one of these AUKEY.

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

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

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.

Have you looked at a "fuse tap"? I've seen them recommended a couple times in this sub.

EDIT: Found this one on amazon.

I bought the Spytec Hardwire Kit that came with an add a fuse to have it hardwired to your fuse box. It was cheap and I have no complaints with it.

Get this in micro or mini-USB depending on what comes with your dash cam. Open up the fuse box cover on your dash, take out a fuse, put the add-a-fuse in its place, replace fuse you took out, run wire. Use popsicle sticks or something to stuff the cord behind the plastic and run the wire to your dashcam. Pretty simple!

Spytec sells fuse-tap kits for micro and mini-USB on Amazon for pretty cheap.

https://www.amazon.com/Spy-Tec-Hardwire-Fuse-A119S/dp/B01N0GR4ON?th=1&psc=1

This one is similar to the one I have .

That was my philosophy too, the only ticket i got was that aforementioned one I got out of, thankfully my father just randomly bought me mine for christmas one year.

Here's the one i've used for the past few years. It's cheap for sure (and worked well enough to save my butt).
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078B56BYJ/ref=cm_sw_r_other_taa_pt2yCbM560YTR

No worries! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DF8MQX1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_t8R5Cb7Z6PXQT

That’s the closest model to mine I could find on their site. Mine is like that but also has 4K quality. I know they’ve released a new gen since I’ve gotten mine, so I’d recommend comparing between those two.

Dash Cam, Crosstour 1080P Car DVR Dashboard Camera Full HD with 3" LCD Screen 170°Wide Angle, WDR, G-Sensor, Loop Recording and Motion Detection (CR300)

Crosstour 1080P Car Cam Full HD with 3" LCD Screen - best $40 you’ll ever spend. Had this one about a year, (my third). https://www.amazon.com/Crosstour-Dashboard-Recording-Detection-CR300/dp/B078B56BYJ

7 IMPORTANT FUNCTIONS AND EASY TO USE - Loop recording, motion detection, on/off audio, license plate stamp, time stamp, auto power off, screen saver, burst photo. All of these functions basically cover what you need for daily driving. Comes with 1 suction cup, easy to use.

BUILT-IN G-SENSOR CAR DASH CAMERA - Automatically detect a sudden shake/collision and lock the footage to prevent the video from being overwritten even in loop recording. Accident scene can be truly restored.
170° WIDE-ANGLE 6G LENS CAR CAMERA - Larger viewing angle to be recorded, captures 4 lanes of traffic.

Read the reviews, but I’m happy with it.

Here's the one I bought. It's not a dual cam, obviously, but those tend to run a bit more expensive. You should be able to get some good recommendations from a quick Google search; there are lots of reviews and comparisons out there.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DF8MQX1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_a1G9BbSH3J2V3

The Roav S1. I bought them for $90 each on September 17th so I'm not sure why the price went up by $20. I've also had the Goluk T2 dashcam which I also really liked but the app for it is trash, quality is pretty good even at night. I'd take the Roav over the T2 though but the T2 does mount a lot more discretely.

https://smile.amazon.com/Roav-DashCam-Resolution-NightHawk-Wide-Angle/dp/B07DF8MQX1/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1539531473&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=roav+s1&psc=1

I have this camera on my car and my parents' cars. Been working fine for a year now.

I have an Anker ROAV, it works well.

https://www.amazon.com/Dashcam-Dashboard-Resolution-Nighthawk-Wide-Angle/dp/B07DF8MQX1/

No worries, i'll give you a little notice and maybe we can meet if you are not at your shop on that day, as for a solid date/time, I don't know yet, I was there last Friday, so it should be inside of the next two weeks.

I have an A119S with the GPS mount, the hardwire kit is the Spytec kit like this.

This is the reason why I purchased this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01N0GR4ON/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I was told it that if I connect my dashcam using this to a permanent live fuse (on even when engine is off), it would cut power to my dashcam if my car battery is getting to low.

Is this correct? Or have I missed something?

Going to hardwire it on the weekend, so fed up of plugging it in and out of the cig lighter already.

When it gets maybe 25/30 at night it won't come on in the morning, or even after the defrost has been blowing on it for 30 minutes.

I use this, which I suppose I should consider to be the likely culprit.

I used this: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01N0GR4ON/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Just make sure to have an extra 5A mini fuse because you need it to complete the circuit and it is not included for some reason. Then you just add it to an existing fuse that is active only when the vehicle is on and you're good to go.

Agree with others, removable is best even though there's a chance you'll forget to put it back on. I recently got a Viofo A119 off Amazon with an add-a-fuse and hardwire kit to make installation clean and simple. Here's a short 1080p30 sample video doing some semi-successful crawling in our TJ (download for full quality). It has a permanent base that the camera plugs into. The lens adjusts nicely for the flat windshield. The reflections can get a little bad in some light, but not sure any other dashcam would be better in that regard. I like it and it's cheap in comparison to other options.

I used this kit with a different add a fuse since mine are smaller. It goes into the fuse slot that runs the AC.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078B56BYJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Whj8CbH6Q136R

This one. For the price, it's pretty good. Very basic features on it though.

And as I continue to browse, I see this deal https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071LPV7G6 which includes a rear camera. Not a capacitor though. Didn't look like much of a deal at first then I saw it was 55 off in cart.

​

So... many... choices...

I have been using the Rexing V1 for a couple of years now. I like it pretty well. I am currently considering upgrading to the V1LG which has front and rear camera. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071LPV7G6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_tPFLAb9B7JB48

A Rexing. It’s alright.

A story as old as time, very shitty though.

Ideas for next time:

• Dual camera dash cam like this one with parking mode (on hit detection it saves video).
  
• Ring doorbell. Black Friday is coming up!!!!
  
• $50 WiFi cam. Point it out your window, set to record on motion, record to large SD card.

I have the Rexing V1LG Dual Channel and it works great!

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071LPV7G6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_iZSPCbT0YANVX

I use [This] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071LPV7G6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) version of Rexing and it hasn't failed me yet.

I'm not certain since he deleted the comment for some reason but I think it might have been this one: Dash Cam, Crosstour 1080P Car DVR Dashboard Camera Full HD with 3" LCD Screen 170°Wide Angle, WDR, G-Sensor, Loop Recording and Motion Detection (CR300) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078B56BYJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_LtlkDbJC7VAPE . If not then I just don't know, sorry!

Any camera is better than no camera.

I bought one of these:

​

Under $40, the cord can be routed up around the trim, and the images are pretty nice.

Generally pretty satisfied with this one:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076GYGVY5/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_u1YTDbD6X6EWW

Bought this one first and was dissatisfied with the image quality so I returned it:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DLG9GFG/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_U2YTDbM3D46BQ

Highly recommend this one. I use it in my pickup and the suction cup one in my truck. Both are great but this one makes me very happy. Speed. Gps. 1080p at 60fps. It even has pitch and yaw. Very good. And sound is great. Though i turn off sound in truck because if im listening to a podcast a lawyer will say i was distracted when the drunk ran a red light and hit my trailer. It can also take a 128gb sd card so you can get almost 3 days with 720p at 30 fps. Roav DashCam S1, by Anker, Dash Cam, Dashboard Camera, Full HD 1080p Resolution @60 fps, Nighthawk Vision, Sony Starvis Sensor, Built-in GPS, Wi-Fi, Wide-Angle Lens, 2-Port Charger, 32GB microSD Card https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DF8MQX1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ISsUCb4GMYH7W

I personally like my Roav Dash cam. Roav S1

The cheap cam was not worth the $30 i paid for it. I got a refund and upgraded to the Roav S1 for $89. Amazing cam! Does everything a dash cam should do, and more. Been solid for the past ~2 weeks that i have had it. I mounted it in the same spot since it's a wedge cam. Going to install one in the wife's car too.

https://www.amazon.com/Dashcam-Dashboard-Resolution-Nighthawk-Wide-Angle/dp/B07DF8MQX1/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_1?keywords=roav+s1&link_code=qs&qid=1554945355&s=gateway&sourceid=Mozilla-search&sr=8-1-fkmrnull

​

r/Dashcam has a popular competitor, the Viofo A119 V2. Seems like a solid cam and i almost went for it, but i didn't want the cost to go over $100 and the roav included a 32gb card. https://www.amazon.com/VIOFO-Compact-A119-Optional-included/dp/B01M28B92C

​

BTW, all these cams come with either suction cups or double sided sticky tape. I prefer black velcro so it's a bit hidden with the black and i can easily remove the cam when needed: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JJPPNHM/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

this should work because it is 60 frames per second, right?

yeah! as for a dash cam, i have a $40 one from amazon that works amazing. maybe something like this drones are a little more pricey, but i’m sure this would be a good price range.

Yes absolutely. Highly doubt they would believe I hit a couch on the highway haha.

Best part is that it locks the 5 minutes if it detects a collision, using vibration I think.

Alright, thanks again.

Can you see what the difference in this $120 A119S and this $100 A119S is? They seem nearly identical to me. They both have GPS, and they're even sold by the same company. The only difference I can see is that the cheaper one has "compact" in the title and looks curved near the camera.

A few more (hopefully final) questions: should I go for the CPL? Is this a good hardwire kit?

Hey, sorry for the late reply to your post. For parking mode, I was just wondering if it's safe to hardwire the a119 into a fuse that is always on? I've heard that it was unsafe to do so because it can drain out your battery overnight, resulting in the car not starting. Is that true? I currently have this one. I currently have mine hardwired into my cigarrete lighter, so I can't use parking mode.

G1W is the best, most all-round dashcam and it's only ~$60

http://www.amazon.ca/Spy-Tec-G1W-Dashboard-120%C2%B0/dp/B00JJ3L84G

Actually go with the G1W-C. It has a capacitor instead of a battery.

Here is a test footage.

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.

You have no fucking idea what you're talking about.

Here's a $36 dash cam that, when paired with a $20 SD card, will go back 4+ hours with audio.

EDIT: Here, I found an explanation for all you ignorant motherfuckers downvoting me since I'm apparently the first person in Columbus to hear of a dash cam
