    Looking for dash cam recommendations for a dump truck. Nigh vision is a requirement. I see they have so many different ones now. Any better than the other?

    I ended up going with the blackvue dash cam. Pretty happy with it. I tried the expensive versions(diesel boss 3 camera dvr system) hated how it mounted. Tried falcon eye, it felt like some cheap China product. Then got the blackvue. Has night vision, parking mode, large SD card, motion sensors. And it was easy to install

    Recommend you buy one that covers all four sides of the vehicle and is motion activated

    I am looking for a 5 camera system that will record a 10 minute loop to a hard drive that can be connected to an android/apple tablet or a laptop to send elsewhere by email.

    5 cameras, preferably with a solar chargeable battery (run on solar power in daylight and stored power at night ) at each position, with a Bluetooth connection to the storage device:
    Center windshield
    Rt mirror
    Rt spot mirror
    Lt mirror
    Lt spot mirror

    How is that Dash Cam working for you? Was looking at the
    DR750X-2CH TRUCK Plus

    I love it. Never had a problem with it. I bought my own sd card. Bought the biggest one I could find. I have it setup to record 24/7. It takes a week to fill up the card. Then it just writes over the oldest file if it's not saved
     
    Siinman Thanks this.

    Have any issues with the App? Did you wire into Dash or just plug and play? Thanks for the info
