Hey there,
So after being told only idiots don't have dash cameras in the current year by @Fidget08 (I think it was him) I started looking into them a little more. Now I'm super confused. I read some reviews, looked at the main dash cam forum and still don't really have any idea what brands are good and what cameras are reliable. The forum was huge and I couldn't find a good basic thread to get me started. A lot of reviews are conflicting about the quality and durability of the camera.
Here's what I want:
Parking recording
Crash recording
Good night and day recording
decent memory/expandable
MAYBE front/rear combo, but deff a front one
Discrete so if I crash and it's my fault I can toss it in the glovebox and no one will know I have one.
What I have looked at/ Read about
Blackvues cameras- Seem to have bad night vision?
Street guardian-made in china? prefer USA or Korean if USA doesn't make good options
A119- good but sorta cheap, prob china again?
Garmin-Don't need gps and for some unknown mental reason don't want to really buy stuff from them. Have been very happy with their products in the past though.
Price wise I am acknowledging I might have to spend $2-400 for what I am asking.
