Owner reviews for dash cam

Blackvue DR770X LTE

Expensive and has a pay monthly sim but its great.

Good picture quality day and night, front and rear, hardwired, impact and motion recording.

It automatically records during journeys and condenses it into 1 or 2 min chunks.

They get uploaded to an app you can watch and download.

I wanted it to work well at night. The best sensor is currently the Sony starvis so I wanted one with that. And I wanted 4k. And I wanted multiple cameras.

So that basically left one decent option. The VIOFO. It’s been very good indeed.

Viofo A229 Pro is brilliant. You can optionally add a rear camera, or in car camera, or even a telephoto (so you can make out plates easily if someone makes off).

One thing to note about the VIOFO is that 99% of the settings you can do from your phone, but if you want to turn off the little display lights on the unit you have to use the built-in menu. You can’t do it from your phone. I turned them off so they are not distracting at night.

I just installed a VIOFO A229 in my 2024 Limited w/ eyesight. I purchased a Dongar adapter to draw power from the rearview mirror. Had it installed in about 30 minutes and looks nice and clean. Highly recommend this setup.

VIOFO A329 2Ch has been pretty good

garmin mini 3 with the dongar cable. Tuck it up behind the passenger side of your rear view mirror and its basically invisible and runs in the background. Honestly forget i have it until I see questions like this come up in this sub haha

I personally use the 70mai A800s 4K dashcam. It’s been really good so far. I’ve connected it to the usb hub so when I turn on the car it automatically turns on as well. The rear camera is useless since it always points upwards. So you’ll need to buy a rear camera mount for it.

I have the Blackview 4k and I dont care for it. The app is not very good and you have to use the app to point the camera as there is no screen on the camera itself (ie. always tied to the app unless you want to take out the memory card each time to verify where the camera is pointing.
