Can someone recommend a good Dash Cam

I've been running a Rexing S300 in my personal truck for 3 months now and like it. It's really just a "set it and forget it". Tap the triangle button to highlight and save a clip when something happens (you can choose 1, 3 or 5 minute file sizes) it just loops back over old clips once the microSD is full.
Video and audio quality seem great.

-Turns on with ignition and starts recording, stops when i shut the truck off.
-Mute button for the MIC which I do use sometimes.
-Camera can be rotated around to look back into the truck.
-Can be mounted via suction cup or 3M tape. I chose the tape.
I did lots of research... some reviews are hard to trust and I feel like some are phony.

 

I dont know much about dash cams besides my gps having one, I can use record and take pictures, One thing i do notice about taking pictures and might apply for video also is the focus, If your windshield is not clean it might not focus right and give a blurry image.
As some have mentioned a Go Pro might not be a bad idea. I fly a drone and they have some good quality images.
You can get a few hours of video depending on the video quality you have it set on. You can also carry a few sd cards or just wipe it every few hours if thats how you wana roll.

Try look at the photography market, you might be able to jury rig something in the truck with a high end recording device thats not specific for trucks.
Maybe even a home surveillance device coupled with a recording unit in the truck.

 

Never use this one.

 

Respectfully I don't see much vital info being given in suggestions. Such as how well does it do making out tag numbers of vehicles during the day and at night? Low light quality? Does the cam keep the video stable or is it 'shaky'? How well does the cam and mount do in the high temperature environment of a windshield? These are huge factors that should be considered IMO. As well as other info.

 

Well I'm going with one of these two: probably the bottom, higher priced one that allows you to easily turn the cam to the right or left to capture road rage situations beside you.

 

I'm still looking but most of those issues you mention are common with cams using internal battery power instead of capacitors. Capacitors are more durable and reliable. I'm sure they all have their issues though.

 

I have a Street Guardian SG9665GC
So far so good.

I had a SGZC12SGSK (same brand) before that lasted 3 years.

 

Well after looking around all afternoon, I'm going with the Viofo A119.

 

Another review of the Viofo A119. It has a lot of useful info.

Just FYI there is another version out called the Viofo A119S. It is different and doesn't allow side to side camera movement among other things... but that's enough to not pick that one, for me anyway.
