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 bought this one off Amazon recently for $79 USD (currently has a 20% discount too) Anyski 3 channel 5GHz (can’t link here because comment gets removed).

    Reasons I liked it:

    • it mounts to the window and won’t do that thing where it gets knocked out of place in the event of extreme force such as getting rear ended. You’ll see a lot of YouTube dash cam videos where the camera goes up after the car has been rear ended because it wasn’t on a fixed mount like this one but a swivel. Avoid swivels if possible for this reason.
    • has a total of 3 cameras, 1 facing the street, 1 facing the cab, and 1 facing the rear view window behind the car
    • the rear view camera is not necessary to hook up so you could just do the main unit with 2 cameras and still have a camera, just smaller POV, of the back
    • the sound quality was decent for interior of the car
    • it had a WiFi hotspot feature so you can remotely connect using your phone to easily and quickly grab videos and not have to mess with the SD card (but you still had that option if you wished)
    • the video quality is really good

    I think it might meet your criteria.
