    Dash Cams

    What is everyone running for dash cams? I'm now at the point where I think it's a really good idea to have these things in the vehicles. I've done a lot of home work, starting from not knowing anything about them to now seemingly knowing a lot about them. So I've narrowed down these three.

    For my Honda Fit, I'm going to absolutely get the Viofo A129 Duo. Front & Rear 2Ch 1080P with Sony Sensors. Has three parking modes, GPS and impact detection, optional blue tooh button to flag the SD card if there is a crash.

    For my EB Mustang, I'm torn between the BlackVue DR-750S 2Ch or the Thinkware F800 Pro D+
    Both of these are jamb packed with features and hi clarity.

    Interested to hear what others are using...

    Re: Dash Cams

    There are youtube chanels dedicated to dashcam comparisons and testing.

    I did not do a lot of research on the one I purchased, It was inexpensive so I grabbed it about a year ago. Don't even know the brand or model.

    Afterwards I watched a few videos about them and what seems to be good to have is:


    - A capacitor instead of a battery inside the camera
    - Good night vision capabilities
    - Autosave after an impact
    - Quick save button for when you see something you want to have a record of

    I run a Garmin dash cam 55 with the parking cable and polarizing filter and the quality if fantastic. Thought about picking up a cheap one off Amazon to run to the back.

    Garmin Dash Cam 55, it is small and does its purpose.

    Offering 1440p video capture at 30p, video footage for a dash cam is great, while the 122 degree viewing angle is pretty good, though there are wider optics out there. A nice touch is the inclusion of an attachable polarizing filter to cutout unwanted glare from your car's windscreen.

    Vital clips are automatically stored via the built-in G-Sensor technology, and thanks to the built-in GPS unit, all footage is stamped with time and location so there's no disputing when and where an incident happens.

    Re: Dash Cams

    I have Z-EDGE Dash Cam from Amazon, $170.

    Its Front and Rear with 4.0" Touch Screen, 1080P with Night Mode, 32GB Card included but I use 64GB, 155 Degree Wide Angle, WDR, G-Sensor, Loop Recording. No GPS. Parking mode.

    Touch screen is good for easy playback, you won't be spending 10 mins trying to do it with buttons type dash cam.
