I’m looking to buy some dash cams but don’t have a ton of cash. I’d like to get one for me and another for my 16yr old. Anybody have any recommendations?

I have one these hardwired in each of the cars. I like the design and you can flip it 180 degrees if something is going on behind you. The picture flips automatically.

I’ve always used G1W CB variants, they’re decent mid-pricers but not super reliable. My latest one gave up the ghost this week so I finally ordered a different model. I have a Togaurd Mini showing up from Amazon today, $32 shipped. Will report back.

I’ve got the DR590-2CH in the truck, I really like it.

If I was going to do it again I might skip the rear- cam and put the extra $$ towards a battery pack. Right now I use the PowerMagikPro - it keeps the cam on until the battery gets to 12.0v then shuts it off. We are on a pretty busy street so the motion detection in parking mode is pretty busy, most mornings the camera has shut itself off, but usually that happens around 6am when the morning rush begins.

I’ve had this for 5 months and it’s been flawless:

At $60, it’s a really cheap option for a reliable HD dashcam

lol I actually have the one in my truck wired up so that I can change it from constant to switched power. If I go for drinks after a mountain bike ride, I’ll flip it so that it points at my bike and set it to constant power.

That’s like the manual for every single electronic item I’ve bought on Amazon in the past 3 years.

Fluent English speakers must be hard to come by. Or they just think it’s cute and folksy.
