![]() My mother (RIP) ordered a rearview mirror with a dashcam built in to it from QVC or the HSN few years ago. some connect easily with an adaptor to the electronic rearview mirrors. once they saw the video, the kid got a ticket. they all climbed into my civic and watched the video, with two of them claiming the quality was better than what they have in the police cars (this was in 2019). i pointed the camera out to the 3 LEO who were there to take the report. his dad tried to claim it was my fault to the police. it has come in handy when a kid lost control and slid into me. I personally have used a Garmin dashcam since 2014. Only you know your budget and what you are willing to spend. What is exactly the difference? You can get a 4k dash cam too. She will not spend $300 on a dash cam.Ī $20 dash cam is better than no camera at all. She has a basic cam to protect her family. If she got into a accident, there would be no way for her to prove it.Ī friend of mine is a low income single mother. A train barrier came down on a green light, she had to swerve. My ex gf mocked me for getting her a cheap cam. Once the third party realised I had a cam, his demenior changed completly. A window getting smashed and a $300 camera getting taken vs a $40 dollar one? Then somehow its a better camera then a $60 camera? There also a number of other factors. Do some clever marketing and up the price to $300. You can purchase the same cams in bulk and add your own logo. However if you check some of the chinese sites. But the average Joe Blogs is not concerned about those. Then spend it, there are features available. Taking a screen shot and applying a curve filter can show the plate. My point is, to the average person paying $300 is pointless. I buy on the basis of features I want & cost, not brand.Ĭlick to expand.I disagree they are a waste of money. I've purchased Viofo, Thinkware and Street Guardian brands. I've installed dash cameras in 6 of my family's vehicles in the last 8 years, and have used them successfully two times with the police. ![]() Having said all that, I will tell you this. Never! Here is a another useful take on the story in the YouTube video previously referenced. I would never, ever buy a dash camera based on Amazon reviews. Over time, the important things you really need to understand become apparent. YouTube, Dashcamtalk and Blackboxmycar web sites are generally worth spending the time checking out. This is a topic where it is better to do your own homework ahead of time researching various sites, and not rely on one person's suggestion. They can be very difficult to install as well. Dash cams are complicated to understand and operate, not to mention deciding which to buy. There is no easy answer to your question. ![]()
