I'v used several different dash cameras. 2 were CCTV systems used as dash cameras and 2 were HD dash camera.

I like the idea of a small/hidden system.
The first one I used is a B40 A118.

Works great, 1080p and very small, no rear camera. Microphone works great. Also very cheap, many knockoffs. GPS optional.


My current one is Blackvue DR650GW-2CH and a backup battery.

Front(1080p) and rear(720p) camera, GPS, able to download video directly to your phone through WiFi. Picky on memory cards and the microphone does not like my loud(no mufflers) exhaust.

Front camera, 1080p

Rear Camera 720p

i am currently using a transcend drivepro 200.

i will say that the video quality isn't the best. after a certain distance you can't really read the license plates but you can still easily distinguish larger details.

still debating if i should get a better video cam setup or just stay with this.

Good reviews here + a forum for discussion:

How long have you own the 820 (how many summers in particular)

About two years I believe. The main problem with heat is that you will come out from a store or work or whatever on a hot day and the suction cup will have failed dropping the camera down to the dash. This has occurred about four times.

I have 3 of these:

1 in my wifes Tacoma
1 in my GTO
The last one is a floater. I power it with 3 18650 li-ion batteries when I need to (My wife thought someone was messing with her truck at work). Im thinking about mounting that one as a rear facing cam in the GTO.

There are probably better ones out now for less now. I got that at the time because it was one of the best, and folks in AZ said they had no problems with the heat, and it was the smallest.

They were told that if I had wanted I could have them up on assault charges for flipping me off , my grand daughter was in the car at the time .

Since when is flashing the finger assault? What snowflake legislature dweeb got that passed?

OK, you had a kid in the car but that gesture is in the papers, TV and social media all the time. Nothing new.

Check the definition of assault , you are probably confusing it with a battery , 2 different charges

Just FYI , Degrees of Assault

First degree assault, the level of assault that is given the harshest punishment, generally includes severe bodily harm and extreme indifference for the value of human life. Instead of using the category “first degree assault,” some jurisdictions will use the term aggravated assault, which is just another way of saying it’s the most serious form of assault.

Aggravated or first degree assault will usually include the use of a dangerous weapon in its definition. Second degree assault will usually include the use of a dangerous weapon as well, but what makes second degree assault different from first degree assault is either the intent behind the bodily harm, or the level of bodily harm. Third degree assault is the form of assault that receives the lightest punishment. This is when a person attempts to injure another person, but does not, or when a person does injure a person, just not physically.

So if someone calls you a name, it is 3rd degree assault?

Farkin nuts.

No. Not in Kommiefornia. I know of no law that bans giving someone the "finger" and makes it a crime to do so.

There is also no "degree" of assault in Kommiefornia.

I have a cobra. You can buy one at Costco. It's a three hour recording loop. Also, it tracks your location, speed, and if you get hit, force of impact.

I was rear ended a year ago by a lady who promptly told me I backed into her. I called the police to the scene knowing there was going to be problems. Turns out she had no license, no citizenship, no insurance, and was driving a borrowed car.

Never hurts to have a camera in such a situation.

I got a Rexing V1 dashcam for my wife's car and after some learning curves seems to work pretty good. I'm having a problem with my dashboard getting reflected but if someone does something dumb (and I have a couple already) it clearly visible at 1080p

Going to get another soon for my car. Thinking about getting a rear view cam as well.
