    Looking for a better dashcam that will automatically send a video to my email or phone long as its connected to my wifi In the truck. Any recommendations?

    I don't know any dashcam that "automatically sends video to your email or phone." Why would you want that? It can't, the size of the file would be far too large to email. I mean my Garmin Dashcam 46 will stream live video to my phone if I tell it to, but nothing is automatic other than it will come on automatically and begin recording whenever it's plugged in.

    And even my 3 year old 46 has good resolution. Here is a video from day before yesterday when it caught an accident in front of the casino I was parked at. Gave this footage to the bear who responded.

    The reason I would want that is when I save a video I wouldn't have to stop recording then take SD card out just to get the saved footage.

    The Garmins will save files to your phone over direct wifi when using their Drive app. Let's you trim before saving, too.

    The garmin also will save files with voice commands .

    the garmin is by far the most user friendly dashcam
    I have four different dash cams and the garmin is my favorite
