Looking for info on dash cams

Recommended Posts

After several close calls, other drivers stupidity, I am looking for a quality dash cam for the wife's vehicle. Too many time drivers have passed us on the shoulder, crossed 2 lanes to exit at speed, come right up to our rear bumper at speed (phone heads). I need something to show the cops in the event of a wreck. Any suggestion as to where and what to look for would be most appreciated. I really don't want this to be turned into a bad driver bashing thread, we all know traffic sucks.

I just put this one in my truck today. It replaced a $20 that has worked fine. I just wanted something a bit better without spending a lot of money. There are dozens of youtube videos of it.

I have two of these VIOFO A129 Pro Duo 4K Dual Dash Cam

They work well, and record both forward and backward at the same time.  I like it, but one of my vehicles (Silverado), it interferes with the brake sensors so I can't use the rare camera.

Quite a few features to ponder on, WiFi, 3 cameras, GPS. I never knew such existed in a dash cam. A varied price range as well. All good suggestions gents, thank you.

I have been using them for years. The Car Audio places around here do not carry them because they tend to not last that long and the do not like warranting them. I have them in 3 cars. I just look at reviews online. I have a guy that installs them for me for 40 bucks. I always get the front and back cameras and have them wired to turn off and on when we start the car.

For my Jeep I needed a unique solution, so I got this one because I can't see traffic out the back due to the spare tire. It mounts on your rearview to replace the mirror w/ a touch screen that I can use as a fulltime rearview display or I can watch/manage the videos. It's been flawless since I installed it over 4 years ago.

Thanks for all the replies. So many choices and features to look at. I went the cheap route for now......Ebay

For $30 I can learn about the features I want and don't want. Plus if it gets stolen or broken, the loss is no big deal
