Anyone have a dashcam they really like?

  • I don’t care about screens
  • I’d like something I could mount to my dash
  • I’d like something that can record audio

I was trapped in my car recently and berated by a neighbor, so I mostly want something I can use to record that sort of behavior in the future. Otherwise, it’s just he said/she said.

Thanks!

Edit: I ended up with a VIOFO VS1 Mini. I installed it last night and so far so good. The only annoyance was that my EZ-Pass(toll road transponder) was already mounted right where I wanted my camera, so that had to move. Also, I still need to pretty up my wiring. I’m feeling a bit more confident driving in the neighborhood. And I checked, can download video with the app no problem.

    I live in Australia where the temperatures get insane and destroy most electronics left in cars.

    I have a Viofo A229 PRO 3CH, it has a module that faces forward, and a separate camera that gives a view of the inside of my car as well as some of the outside sides, and a third camera on a long line that is mounted on my rear window that has a view of the rear.

    The images are clear, I can read licence plates easily day and night, and after being in two accidents it gives me peace of mind that I am protected in court if someone hits me again.

      I ended up ordering a VF-VS1 VIOFO VS1 mini. It seemed low-hassle, and I’m happy with audio + front video.
