Dash Cameras - Recommendations

[Tuscany]

Have been meaning to pick a few of these up but have been waiting until a superior unit gets crowned as the best choice.
Any input is appreciated.

I wonder when auto manufacturers will make dash cams mandatory (unless they already have).

Do insurance companies give you a break if you install one?

Like cell phones and action cams, the dash cams are continuously evolving. Go on a Chinese web site like AliExpress or BangGood and there are some 50 different models available. Decide on the features you want (front + rear cameras?, built-in display? wifi to your phone?...) Find one that uses an adhesive mount (not suction cup) and is as small & inconspicuous as possible so it's less likely to attract thieves.

If you drive a newer model Toyota, there's a "factory" dash cam with I believe cleaner wiring (plugs into the mirror connector) and a time-lapse mode to keep recording while parked.

Garmin Dash Cam 65W. I bought them for my cars and for my parents. Nice little unit. There is an optional connection you can buy/do that’ll record when the car is off.

amazon has a good aukey one, i use it its prety good and removable and cheap. Avoid battery ones, they fail in the heat and cold.
