What are any of you using? I need something. Wal Mart has some GoPro's that look good but maybe a little overkill and more suited to vloggers which I am not interested in that. I just want something mounted on the right front corner of my windshield to get a wide angle view of the front end of the truck and maybe some of the blindspot on that side of the truck. Or maybe 2 cameras would be better? Interested in what people are using. What you recommend or not?

Go with a 3 sided view, that is also motion activated to capture those parking lot hit and runs.

I have the diesel boss DB5. I got it with the 2nd camera. I really like it, it has great video quality and a nice wide angle. I haven’t set up the 2nd camera yet, not sure what to do with it. You can save $30 and get it without the 2nd camera.

I bought the dieselboss dvr system. Didn't like how it mounted to i returned it. Tried the falcon eagle eye 3 camera system. Was broke right out of the box. Finally settled on the blackvue 750x. So far I'm pretty happy with it

I had a VIOFO A119S v2 in my '16 Duramax. It held up two years being inside a vehicle in the Texas summers, and never missed a beat. It was still working when I sold the truck. I was going to get another one for my semi, but they're up to v3 now. Apparently there were some pretty large improvements too, so that's what I bought. Great resolution, clear picture, G-shock sensor, and parking mode. Also has GPS and tells your speed which could be helpful in court. They make the "A129" that has a second camera. Anyways, I'm done shilling now.

Edit: Also, mine came with a 128GB SD card, if I remember correctly. And if you get it, buy the anti glare lens cover, and the hardwire kit..xsetra, Vampire, rollin coal and 2 others Thank this. -
I can't remember the one I have. I only use it on occasion. Its a center windshield mount. Was cheap and works great. Ill post a picture later.

I Bought a Falcon 3 years ago and worked great. I've updated mine because my cameras corroded out. So i decided to try a cheaper one off Amazon. I gotta say i love it because it connects to a hot spot and i can live view it from phone and download it from a website if needed. Also shows where i've been on map and my speeds around that time. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078X5G5GL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I am curious about dash cam suggestions too.
I use Garmin Dash cam 45. I bought it for $160 at Love's 3 years ago - It replaced that POS Cobra.
It is basic, small and simple in use. Nothing fancy. I had to replace the memory card. I leave it in the truck all the time. Maybe I should remove it when it is too hot or cold...not too good for electronics.xsetra and rollin coal Thank this.
