Dash Cam

How much do you want to spend.
I have used Blackvue cameras for 6 years in several countries and apart from minor battery problems have had no troubles. Used in temps from -10C in Canada to 40+ in Texas and here at home
Have usually bought mine from Korean sellers.
I have a DR500GW-HD and a new DR450GW-HD in the rear of my wagon Front one has WIFI like Pinkos but I rarely use it as nothing nasty has happened to me.

Blackvue three years old with no problems.
I can view video and audio on iPhone or iPad wirelessly and save those files.

Recommend you have a look at https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/ too, for unbiased reviews/comparisons of pretty much everything on the market. Many peeps find the mounting/visibility/cosmetic considerations as important as performance. I'm a function-over-form type myself.

Had a Chinese cheapie for a couple of years, daytime vision was OK but poor at night. Upgraded to a StreetGuardian SG9665GC over a year back, cheese-and-chalk, v.good daytime and best I've seen for night-time. YMMV.

Choice have just published a review and assessment of over 20 different dashcams. Leader of the pack was the DOD LS470W.

Another vote for Blackvue.

We have a cheapie in the Toyota and a Blackvue DR650S-2CH Dash Cam Wifi-GPS Dual Channel in the house car. We also have a second mount for the blackvue is the Toyota so that we can move it to the Toyota for long trips.

The Blackvue far exceeds the cheapie in all respects including WiFi and parked mode.

A point that is not always considered is the size and shape. The Blackvue is vary hard to see from outside the car as it sits right up and behind the rear view mirror on both cars.

The cheapie is a real nuisance because it is below the mirror, easy to see and sits right in my view when looking to the left at intersections to see if cars are coming. It will go in the rubbish one day Grrrrrrr. But we can't afford a seconsd one yet and the house car has priority.

I really don't know how people drive safely with phones and navigation gizmos simply stuck on the windscreen. They just get in the way in traffic and looking right and left. You wuld have to be blind to not see them. It will go one day and most likely in traffic. Rip it off and throw it in the back!!!!

You really do get what you pay for.

Edits gallore - I should read before hitting th "Submit" button.

I have a Mini Cam 0826 on the front window and a Minicam 0805 on the rear. A quarter of the price of the expensive Blackvue models with similar performance both day ad night.

Is small, cost effective and performs very well.

My 0805 has been faultless $115 delivered , you were unlucky Bill you obviously got a dud they should of replaced it
