This is the model I have. It doesn't have a battery at all, just a capacitor to give it enough power to save the video on shutdown. This accident was unusual because the entire electrical system is destroyed almost instantly, that's why it stops so quickly.

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.

The Look on her face is priceless.

Btw, This is the one I got. Nothing fancy, but it's a good quality camera. Aukey Dashcam

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.

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/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.

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

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

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

> 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.

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.

FYI, Amazon cites this one as the "newer version" for $39.99: https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Camera-6-Lane-Motion-Recording/dp/B07HVNCQF3 looks like form factor has changed a bit, but still has great reviews. Seems like a great value.

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

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!

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.

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.

I went with a Veckle Mini 0906 for the duel front + back cam coverage and a 64gb microSD, so about 8 hours of recording time. The original quality is actually better, but I had to mess around with converting it until Reddit would accept the upload, which lowered the quality.

posted a reply to op but thought you might want to look into this

> going to piggy back off this comment: This dash cam is currently $123.49 w/ free shipping on amazon https://www.amazon.com/Veckle-Channel-Dashboard-Recorder-Recording/dp/B0746BCFBF

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. :)

>Also it'd take just a moment to flip through some menus and delete the recordings.

The model of dashcam the cammer has here doesn't have a screen to flip through the menu system. It's wi-fi enabled so you'd typically use an app to do this:

https://www.amazon.com/Blackvue-DR650GW-2CH-Built-Wi-Fi-Recorder/dp/B00MC56AXM

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

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.


spor

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!

It's Veckle Mini 0906

At first, the quality was set to fine and it was a little blurry, but after switching it to Super Fine, the quality is awesome.

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.

Link You can find it for around $300. The power magic pro is what keeps it on 24/7, it will automatically turn off when it detects low battery in your car.

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

I have a Viofo A119 I’ve had for a few years now that I’ve had good luck with. There are a few different A119 variants but they all seem to do well. Here is a link to something similar to what I have.

There is a newer model that’s even cheaper.

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.

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.

Best $45 you'll spend.

Might I suggest

OR better yet, just get a dashcam. Less than $100 to give you peace of mind. So if this happens to you, and you were the Lexus driver, you would have your own proof. The one on my truck has a rear facing one as well. I've captured quite a bit of close calls on it, including almost t-boning an asshole that decided to make a left in front of me when I had a green light and he was supposed to be yielding.

There are a lot of models out there, but for anyone that's interested in one: Crosstour External GPS HDR Both 170°Wide Angle Motion Detection G-Sensor Loop Recording(CR900) it has worked pretty well for me.

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.

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.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071LPV7G6/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apap_RthTF8tPaEhHZ

Veckle mini 0906 - front and rear dashcam on a single power cable.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0746BCFBF/


The rear dash cam is key since the cops essentially blame all wrecks on the person in back.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DF8MQX1/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_ST3MDbYM247DT

Roav makes a line of affordable reliable models.

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

It's the DR650GW-2CH. I have one in my car. I really like it, the quality is awesome.

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

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 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

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.

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.

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.

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!

Check out Anker or Aukey brands on Amazon. Super cheap with a slew of great reviews. I got my Roav for about $60 on a Kinja Lightning Deal and can't imagine driving without one!

There's an Aukey dash cam for $29 with 10% off on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HVNCQF3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_L-YEDb3ZHCE7N

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

Been using this since March 2017 zero issues I like it because it has a 1080p 60 fps mode makes license plates very clear.

+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:

Don't be intimidated by hard wiring; as a complete novice, I had the dash cam wired and running in 30 minutes.

Just got this one. Quality is really good, and it has a lot of features.

If anyone's looking for a good dash cam, these are cheap and work well.

If anyone is looking for a good dashcam, this one is the one I have. I've been using it about 2 months and no complaints so far. Video quality is good, and also records audio.

Even though its hot in houston...i leave my dashcam on the windshield mount. Dont want to bother taking it off and on everytime. It's still intact and works fine. Only downside is the 3m tape..i would replace it..not good for the houston heat.

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.

For the best quality dual camera systems you will want one that records at 1080p both front and rear, and for that there doesn't seem to be anything presently available for under $200.

For under $200 and of lesser quality there are these:

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.

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.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01CXDP69G

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

I've been running that one for a while now. Two camera set up at a decent price. If you get hit while the car is off it will record and because it's front and rear you are almost 100% fur sure gonna get their plates while they run.

All in all probably the best bang for your buck dashcam that could save you thousands of dollars in the long run.

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.

Dude get a dash cam. You won't regret it.

Edit: here's a pretty popular low-cost one

I got this one just as a starter one basically. I heard good reviews for the price, and figured it would be a nice one to get me going. You have to make sure you get it from a real dealer because there are a lot fakes out there.

The ones I've seen are priced out of my reach but are definitely what a professional driver or trucker should have, dual camera, enough storage for almost a week of driving, and automatic upload to your own server when it comes into wifi range.

This would be the perfect setup for me, no need to deal with changing sd cards everyday, and ability to archive the records for however long I wanted.

blackvue dr650gw-2ch $399

Blackvue DR650GW-2CH Built-In Wi-Fi Full HD Car DVR Recorder, 64Gb With Power Magic Pro - Black

This one is the one I have. Hardwired to in, it can keep recording for 12 hours or so after you park- it has a voltage meter that keeps it from draining too much from the battery.

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.

This is the one I have: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071LPV7G6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_uzd5AbGV8Y8TQ

And buy the hard wire kit to go with it: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074PBPPPN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_gCd5AbM6Z35YK

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Both of those are decently liked here. The only one that I'd add to your list is the Crosstour, which I've seen a few users recommend as reliable and it seems to be within your price range.

https://www.amazon.ca/Recorder-Crosstour-170%C3%83%C2%B0Wide-Detection-Recording/dp/B07DVJ5DB9/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=crosstour+dash+cam&qid=1568853192&sr=8-1

That really stinks, I hope your insurance can help fight for you on this one, especially since the person left the scene.

I'd highly recommend getting a front/rear dash cam. They average $100 on Amazon, but it's totally worth it and will help with situations like this. Here's one I found with a quick search:

r/dashcams

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07DVJ5DB9/ref=psdcmw_2230642011_t1_B0746BCFBF

$100 for front and rear.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07DVJ5DB9?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Great investment for only $100. Front and back simultaneously recording.

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 ;)

Edit: link naar Amazon: https://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B01CXDP69G/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85Z%C3%95%C3%91&qid=1504387015&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=yi+dashcam&dpPl=1&dpID=41myF5eda-L&ref=plSrch

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.

The Black Box company line of G1W Dashcams is suppose to be from the official manufacturer in the USA. They have a full line of products that all show official packaging and manuals. Most legit company it seems with an actual support email and website -

I have a G1W and it's been good. Make sure you are getting one from a reputable buyer, though. Also don't forget the microSD card!

I got mine from Black Box.

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 $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

This might not answer all of your questions, but I've had a BlackVue 650GW-2CH for a couple of years now, and I've been very happy with it.

I bought a 64GB SanDisk Extreme card for the constant-overwriting durability, and use the smart power manager to make sure it turns itself off when my car battery reaches a certain level (so it doesn't kill it).

I know that they have some cloud-enabled versions out now, so I would recommend looking into that brand.

Hope that helps!

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.

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.

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

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.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071LPV7G6/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apap_BEamgQT9gZaxe

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

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.

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.

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

Take a look at the Mini 0906. I just picked one up on eBay to replace my FineVu CR2000G that is starting to get wonky, and it should arrive in a few weeks from China. http://mini0906.com/index.html

It has all the bells and whistles you would want or need such as a CPL filter, GPS, super capacitor, over temp protection, parking mode, etc. Most importantly, it has really good video quality, especially at night. It uses a a Novatek 96663 processor coupled with Sony Exmor lenses, so it can run both lenses at 1080p@30 fps. This is hardware you find in more expensive dashcams. Also, it costs between $100-140, so it is fairly replaceable if your first one breaks, although the quality of the Mini series is pretty good and always getting better.

Hope this helps.

I went with this mini 0906. A note about the the fuses: even though the fuse box is designed for mini low profile fuses, I'd recommend not using those, and just use mini fuses (not low profile). This is because there is plastic housing on the fuse box that prevents the fuse from being inserted completely. So the choice between not going in enough with the low profile and sticking out a bit with the non-low profile was easy, as at least the non-low profile felt secure. I used 2 empty fuses for both to make things work, one for the constant and one for the ACC (to enable parking mode). On my 2017 6 GT there were enough open slots to do so, not sure if things are the same with the 2018.

The cx-5 is very similar in the front, so the video is accurate enough for us. Obviously the back will be different, but it's basically just the same as the front for us. You'll need to avoid the airbag in the back too, in the same way as the front. I fished the wire around the air bags first, then routed them through the headliner/pillars (giving plenty of slack to play with). I was about to do things with only popping the a/b/c pillars off ~1 inch at the top edge.

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

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...

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

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

It's a little more expensive than other dashcams but it's worth it, I think

There's a lot on the market that claims to be 360, but by that they mean after installation you can rotate the device as-needed. It looks like the cheapest ACTUAL 360-recording cameras are around $400. I'm kind of a cheap-ass, so I'm planning on getting something a little more low-tech... A camera SET that has one front and one rear camera.

In the "Too little, too late" category - this is why I bought myself one of these a few months ago: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DVJ5DB9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I bought a super cheap one on Amazon. I didn't buy it for Shipt, but just because everyone in my city drives like shit. It was easy to put in by myself. It isn't super fancy or advanced but it records everything, stays in place, and has a pretty decent picture quality for the price. Here's a link to the one I have if you're interested.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HVNCQF3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I got this one. It works pretty well, it turns on and off automatically which is the only feature I really care about. If you want fancy options like GPS, accelerometer, etc. there are better cameras out there. The picture could be a little better too. Basically you can read licence plates and road signs while stopped, but one you get moving the vibrations make them impossible to read. Again, fancier cameras with image stabilization are out there, but they cost a lot more.

I mounted it with a ram mount. the mount cost as much as the camera, but it works really well. I would highly recommend this mount. I can not think of a single improvement that could be made to it.

http://www.amazon.com/Black-Box-320mAh-Battery-Dashboard/dp/B00J2OVN74

This is one of the ones I see recommended quite often, I bought mine almost two years ago (June 2014) and attached it behind my mirror, ran the wire up around the edge of the headliner, down through the A-pillar trim, under the dash, and to the cigarette lighter via the edge of the glove compartment. I also bought an add-a-fuse that I was planning on adding a hardwired cigarette lighter outlet for it but I never seem to get around to it.

Still works like new, gets great footage

I work with a few police officers and detectives at my job - they're mostly at lunch right now so I'll ask them for more advice when they get back. Off the top of my head, I could tell you the following:

• I know you said that you drove in front of them so they could see your face, so this doesn't really apply to you - but I'll say it anyway for anyone else who's reading. Determining someone's race at night in a car is very difficult! Unless you pass directly in front of their headlights without your headlights pointing at them, they can't determine your race.
  
  
• Even if you suspect that it's because of your race, don't say that to them. Follow their instructions, be polite, and don't give them any hassle. Giving them trouble is just going to make them give YOU more trouble. In the majority of these situations, it's best to cooperate and file a complaint later.
  
  
• Get a dashcam! Seriously, you'll spend 50 bucks on the thing and it will serve as irrefutable evidence if you do get harassed. That, and it's wonderful for insurance claims. I did LOTS of research to find the best one. I ended up getting this guy and absolutely love it. Also, remember that it is 100% legal to film interactions with police officers in almost every jurisdiction. Make sure it's legal in yours. If he asks you to turn it off tell him, "for my own record keeping and personal safety, I would prefer not to. It's entirely within my rights for me to record this interaction."
  
  
• It's easy to mistake race prejudice with age prejudice. I'm biracial and live in a very white part of town (I have my whole life). When I was a teenager I'd get harassed a lot more. I'd get followed by shopkeepers, cops would give me a harder time, everything. When I got older (I'm 27 now) this happened less and less. I started dressing differently also - switching from jeans and a tshirt to button-up shirts, ties, and non-denim pants. That has made a massive difference. They always say that you should dress for the job you want to have, I say you should dress for the respect you want to command.
  
  
• Do not refuse a breathalyzer. In most states that's as good as failing the breathalyzer test (which is an automatic DUI).
  
  
• In the event that you do legitimately get harassed (again, I'm not saying this wasn't legitimate), ask for the officer's name and badge number and ask if he can call his commanding officer to the scene. He may refuse to call his commanding officer - which is perfectly legal.
  
  
• Know your rights and know a good lawyer. There are lawyers who specialize in this sort of thing and as long as your claim is good (and you have evidence), they will be happy to take up your case.
  
  
• If you're being attacked by an officer (rodney king style), shout out for help and witnesses. Chances are that SOMEONE will whip out a camera phone and hit record. Make sure it's obvious that you're not resisting and you are unarmed. Do not fight back!
  
  Edit: Just talked to a few of my cop buddies and they gave me these additional points:
  
  
• Most cops aren't being discriminant and are just trying to do their job. Some of them are assholes. If you DO have a problem with a police officer, come down to the station after the incident (directly after) and file a complaint. They'll ask you to give a statement, have you sign it, and then start an internal investigation. Do not lie in your statement - lying to the police is a crime and they will prosecute you if you create a false report.
  
  
• They also suggested that you take a ride-along with the local PD. Nearly every PD nationally allows citizens to request ride-alongs (barring that they aren't felons or anything). Just write a letter to the chief and explain that you want to take a ride-along to get a first hand perspective on what the police do on a regular basis. They may call you to verify a few things, but you'll almost definitely get the opportunity. My friends suggest doing this because it'd give you an in-person view of what police do when they pull someone over, what they look for, how they approach people and deal with citizens. I've done it twice, myself! Smaller PD's will even let you use their shooting range (under supervision) if you express interest. Not only that, but the whole experience will put you on a friendlier basis with your local police - less "us vs them"
  
  Edit: words

$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.

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.

Congrats on a huge gift at a young age. You've gotten great advice form others on this thread so I'll keep most of my comments to what you asked:

The first "mod" I purchased and installed was a 2-channel Dashcam, wired to the fusebox to allow for recording when the vehicle is parked for hours while at work/school. While it won't prevent someone from messing with your car; it will at least capture what happened to help in identifying the perps and for insurance purposes. It will give you a lot of peace of mind.

You can also get the car wrapped.

Finally; just please don't be a mustang-douche. We get a bad rep on the road, some of which is earned, but just don't be that guy. It does seem like you understand how fortunate you are so as long as you keep that humble attitude then just have fun with the 'Stang. Welcome to the club.

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.

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

AmorTek SnakeMount - Dash Cam Mirror Mount - 5 Different Joints Kit Suitable for Most Car Camera https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0102CK1BS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_vV0DxbBQ0DEJ1

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.

Yi is the manufacturer:

Dude...spend $15 and get this mount from Amazon. Watching video at 45 degree angle isn't fun and causes most people to miss what you are trying to show them.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0102CK1BS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I take it this is the one you bought?

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

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.

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:
https://www.amazon.com/Pruveeo-F5-WiFi-Discreet-Recorder/dp/B01KZWMGFY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1525984170&sr=8-3&keywords=pruveeo+dash+cam


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.

[here you go] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0147R9PDO/ref=ya_aw_oh_bia_dp?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

I just purchased a Transcend 32GB Drive Pro 520 Car Video Recorder with Suction Mount (TS32GDP520M) a couple of weeks ago. So far I am well pleased with it, it's on Amazon for $148.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0147R9PDO/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&th=1

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.

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/YI-Compact-Dashboard-G-Sensor-Recording/dp/B01CW4BEP6/

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.

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.

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

Yep

I've been running a G1W dashcam for a couple of months now. I really like it and you can't beat the price. I didn't really need any of the expensive options like GPS, WIFI, etc. I just wanted a reliable camera that would record everything.

I purchased mine off of Amazon

The video quality is pretty decent. So good that I stepped it down from 1080 to 720. The 720 is perfectly clear for my needs.

Here's an example. 1080P on a bright day.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZcuP4Y8r7Q

Thankfully I've never had to save any of the footage, but in terms of bang-for-your-buck it's pretty good at $49.

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.

Discrete: Street guardian has this model that is hard to find but allows you to mount on dash and have a remote control mounted elsewhere.
https://streetguardian.info/products/digital-video-recorders/dash-cams/sgzc12rc-remote-lens-camera.html

I have this 2-channel dashcam. One mounted forwards, one facing rear. It's hard wired but has a voltage cutoff to prevent heavy drain on the car battery. It's got about as good of a long-term reliability record as you'll find in this product space, and the picture quality is excellent. But it's fucking expensive.

Me, I've been very happy with it. I think the peace of mind is worth the money.

Blackvue DR650S-2CH as some have already recommended, but I would order it with the Power Magic Pro, which is basically an add-a-fuse kit so that the camera has power when parked but won't drain the battery below a set voltage level.

It also records if there's any motion or g-sensor activated while in parking mode. This is pretty high-end as far as dashcams go (and priced accordingly) but it fulfills all your criteria and is certainly better quality controlled than any of the no-branded dashcams.

I have heard really good things about this dash cam. Ordering it myself.dash cam

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.

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.

something like this

https://www.amazon.com/Dash-Cam-Mirror-Mount-KDLINKS/dp/B0102CK1BS

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...

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

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.

$150, but totally worth it.
https://smile.amazon.com/Transcend-Drive-Recorder-Suction-TS32GDP520M/dp/B0147R9PDO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1521819910&sr=8-3&keywords=transcend+520+pro

Yeah just shop around to find a dashcam that would work good for you. I use a Transcend DrivePro 520

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

Then plug it in and suction cup to your window and you're good to go. Make sure you read reviews before making your purchase.

You didn't mention a range you consider inexpensive

I have heard good things about the Drive Pro 520 it is $186 USD

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Some cameras have 2nd camera (that records to the same unit). Alternatively, you could just buy a 2nd camera and wire it up to the back. I did a quick search and found this one here that has a 2nd camera for the rear.

Hello, we are launching two 1080P Full HD dash cams.

Check on amazon to get the specs. THX

I just bought the Mini 0906 seems to be the similar but a dual cam.

Been looking for a dash cam since October, figured I might as well go for it.

I've been pretty happy with this.

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.

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.

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

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.

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/

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

Here's the one I bought. I don't live in an area with extreme temperatures, so I can't attest to how it works under very high or low temperature conditions, but I've had no problems with it so far. It's on sale for ~$70 right now.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DF8MQX1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_a1G9BbSH3J2V3

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.

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.

​

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?

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

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.

A few of my friends have this camera: https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Camera-6-Lane-Motion-Recording/dp/B07HVNCQF3?imprToken=1wB4zMzA7DT2zWcnMBpxLw&slotNum=4&SubscriptionId=0GCV3YXJHVTVYF9G9W02&tag=bdcid3-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B07HVNCQF3&keywords=heat%20resistant%20dash%20cam

I need to finally invest in one, these roads are too crazy out here.

I am considering this one with a hardwire kit bought separately so that it records while parking too. What do you say?

Would this one be good for someone that’s on a budget?

The only thing I think is missing is parking monitor

This one is similar to the one I have .

The G1W has worked perfectly for me. It's pretty reasonably priced too. It's often for sale at $49. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J2OVN74/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1

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

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
