I was going to buy Garmin 57 but after I saw the image quality of 4k cameras, I changed my mind....
Image quality is what I am looking for... in order to be able to see license plates and details.
Can you capture those with Garmin 67W?stacks Thanks this. -
After watching some YouTube videos, I liked the quality images of Thinkware U1000, Blackvue DR900X, Viofo A-129...
Seems that Thinkware has the best and most clear image but it seems that it would not work on truck vertical windshield though due to camera design and eye view angle...
Blackvue also has great clear image. But it doesn't have something I want, a LCD screen.
Viofo has a good image and it has the LCD screen... don't know if the park mode will work when ignition is off... -
as far as park mode capture: depends on how the unit gets its power. I’ve hard wired a cigarette lighter plug/adapter to a constant power near my fuse box, and plug what I need always on in there. Same with my cb. Easily done, and if you hardwire the dashcam, you can hide the wires, and make it harder for someone thinking of stealing itRocks Thanks this. -
It's this hardwire kit:

Hey @God prefers Diesels, is it possible to turn G-sensor off on Viofo A119 ?
Pamela1990 and God prefers Diesels Thank this. -
Rocks and Pamela1990 Thank this.

I think having side (mirror) cameras is best. If there's an accident waiting to happen, then side recordings will show in advance of what's happening.
Rocks Thanks this.
