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.

Pros: looks nice and clean
Vehicle: Subaru

Impressed so far however the only draw back is it doesnt notify me via phone if a collisson is detected, the next model up however offers this functionality. If it does detect damage the positive is that it puts the recording into a seperate folder so it does not get wiped.

Pros: records when parked, separate damage folder
Cons: no phone collision notification

Get a high-quality dash cam like a VIOFO. Get one with a rear camera and a sensor with excellent night vision. Spend the money to get it professionally installed at a car stereo shop. It will seem pricey, but having your insurance rate go up while being on the expensive side of a hit-and-run can save you some grief.

Pros: high quality, rear camera, excellent night vision, saves grief
Cons: can seem pricey

THINKWARE Dash cam

The day after delivery I had a Thinkware u3000 dashcam front and rear added with external power supply. The camera parking mode is what got me and the web access.

Pros: camera parking mode, web access
Vehicle: Dodge Durango

I have a Seal and I put a Viofo A129 Plus Duo in mine. I don't bother with hard-wiring anymore, and I use the included USB cables into the car's front USB socket for power. They're perfect length for front to back connections. I hid my cables along the headliner and windscreen, pulling back the rubber seals along the door and the A pillar trims (be mindful not to block the air bags) . I can't remember if the rear cables ran along the bottom or top, but cables are easy to hide under trim pieces or carpet. Routing the USB power plug to the front socket was tricky because of just how tight the panels were. I used a lot more force than I was used to but was happy with the final result, which was just a tiny bit of cabling sticking out to reach the socket.

Pros: perfect cable length, easy to hide cables
Cons: tricky power routing
Vehicle: BYD

I use a VIOFO, whatever the newer dual channel cam is. It hasn\u2019t let me down yet and has really good quality.

Pros: good quality, hasn't let down
Cons: pricey, older model failed

Thinkware is the best quality dashcam, although they are pricier than other dash cams. But I install Thinkware on all my cars, front and rear.

Pros: best quality
Cons: pricier

I bought the VIOFO VS1 last month and it’s working well so far. No screen on the back but I actually like that as it’s less of a distraction when driving… and you just pull the video off via the WiFi connection when you need it.

Pros: working well, less distraction, WiFi video transfer

I’ve tried 2 so far and just had bad luck. A FitCamX that caught fire during the install and a Viofo A129 but the software totally sucked.

Cons: software totally sucked
