Anyone have a dashcam they really like?
- I don’t care about screens
- I’d like something I could mount to my dash
- I’d like something that can record audio
I was trapped in my car recently and berated by a neighbor, so I mostly want something I can use to record that sort of behavior in the future. Otherwise, it’s just he said/she said.
Thanks!
Edit: I ended up with a VIOFO VS1 Mini. I installed it last night and so far so good. The only annoyance was that my EZ-Pass(toll road transponder) was already mounted right where I wanted my camera, so that had to move. Also, I still need to pretty up my wiring. I’m feeling a bit more confident driving in the neighborhood. And I checked, can download video with the app no problem.
I have an Aukey something-or-other in my minivan that’s followed me through three cars now… Planning on getting a Viofo dual camera for my wife’s Highlander.
Biggest thing to look for in a dashcam is a supercapacitor instead of a battery. Lithium-ion batteries aren’t well-suited for extreme temperature swings that most cars see.
One final thought: GPS is neat, but can and will absolutely be used against you in court: “oh, see OP was going 37 instead of 35; if OP wasn’t speeding, then this could have been avoided entirely”
