Oppo, my current dash cam’s mount broke and its time to replace with a new camera. Any recommendations?

Its an Old Shark one from Amazon and its been good, but would like to upgrade/try something different.

I’ve been using the Aukey flush mount ones and I like them. I think I own four now? The “4K” one is actually only 2K and I think the prefer the viewing angle and quality of the 1080 ones anyway.

I have an Anker Roav C1 and it’s been pretty good.

I’ve been pretty satisfied with my Rexing. Does what it says on the tin.

If I were buying today, I’d probably get an A129:

I’d really like a 1440p version though. Resolution isn’t everything (most people seem in agreement that the 1080p A119S provides significantly better video than the 1440p A119), but it still feels like storage and video chips should be up to the challenge of 1440p video. I do like the idea of having both front and back cams though.

Currently I’m running an old B40/A118, which is fine (I greatly prefer the flush adhesive mount to suction cup/arm mounts), but the video quality isn’t great at night, and it’s a battery model, and the battery has definitely not help up well to the extreme hot and cold of being in a car.

Also, while getting a new dash cam is good fun, if you want to go the cheap way, it’s normally not that hard to buy replacement mounts, at least for the models that were popular when new.

Xiaomi 70mai, cheap (may be had for around $30) , can be stealth mounted, wi-fi connection, very dependable.

I think the battery has just about had it on this one anyway so I might as well get a new one at this point .

I’ve been using a Pioneer ND-DVR100 since December and it’s been great. Going to get another for the other car.
