I like the idea of a "no name" action cam. Even in 4k You should get them for a little bit over 50$. The memory card, depends how big You want it. Should be between 20 and 60$. My is set up that it starts when the electricity is on. With a big card it records about 20h. The holder for the camery I made self. I will later. Maybe I find a picture about the set up which works. I have several of them. When it is hot I don*t put the battery in. The batteries does not like the extreme heat. Then it runs only on the electricity from the USB.
M.Schlucker and Rideandrepair Thank this. -
Dont cheap out on a camera. Youll regret it when you try to pull a video and its corrupted.
Rideandrepair and Puppage Thank this. -
I use a Street Guardian and it's been hassle free. You can always add a second rear facing lens to it if you ever decide to expand later. It also uses a removable micro SD card for storage.
It does audio too by simply tapping an on/off button. Great for dealing with law enforcement. It has GPS, timestamp, speed etc etc that can be shown on the video or hidden as well.Rideandrepair Thanks this. -
I have 4 Rexing V1 dash cams. You can get the basic with 1080p or the 4K model. Personally, I tried the 4k. I went back to the basic model.

I have the Viofo A119 V3. It is excellent in low light as well.

I paid $58.84 for a Vantrue N1 that is now 3 1/2 years old.
The cheapest Vantrue is currently $120 on Amazon.

In the past there had been a number of people posting here that they loved their garmin dashcams. This one popped up when I searched for my N1.
