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.

    We got the twin cams, and with the vehicle we put it in, everything tucked nicely right under the trim. The initial plan was to hardwire it to get images while parked as well, but now the car doesn’t go to the sketchier area it did then so we never got around to it.

      I couldn’t get that to work. Despite being plugged into accessory, it would remain on at all times, and I didn’t want to end up with a dead battery from it running 24/7. I’ve never been too worried about parking modes either tho.
