When the built-in gravity sensor detects a collision, the current video is locked, ensuring important footage is kept protected. Locked videos will be kept safe from being overwritten.
So get a dash cam with a rear camera?
Edit: For those citing cost. This is the one I own. You'll have a fugly wire running to the back of your car, but imo it's worth it.
With that said always check your local laws to ensure they're legal.
here are acouple ones to consider
Dual cameras
single camera
Not Cheap
Went with this, Rexing V1P. Did a good amount of research, this had the best amount of good reviews and good customer service response, as well as solid features. I will be hardwiring it into my car as well with their hardwire kit.
I am glad it is since I live out here.
Thankfully they finally banned distracted driving now down here so no more people on their phones or doing shit when they are driving. We have enough of an issue with elderly or illegals driving around getting into accidents. But now we can cut down on the accidents once they start enforcing the distracted driving.
I noticed the driving out here is much more dangerous than in other places of the country. I had to invest in a dashcam system for my POV to protect myself.

For anyone curious to a good dashcam. It has survived the AZ heat which is awesome.
Here's how you protect yourself with little cost:
Dash cam from Amazon
I just got one. Really nice piece of mind.
Definately invest in a dashcam so you essentially have the absolute truth. None of this your story / their story. A dashcam costs ~130 dollars that has front / rear cameras and another ~40 dollars for a fuse tap kit you can hook up to the car's fuse by the drivers side. Having a cam just saves you the headache of going back and forth with the insurance for them to find out who is at fault.
Although the BRZ / FRS does have a hidden cigarette lighter in the glove box so you do not need the fuse tap kit. You can also do it in such a way where you will see minimal wires by tucking wires into the A pilar, etc.
5 days after installing a dashcam in my fiance's BRZ she gets in an accident that proved was not her fault.
What kind of cam is this? I am looking at getting one for my girlfriend's car ASAP.
Here is the model I have looked at in the past.
What if you went with the Rexing V1p 2nd gen? It's on a huge sale cause of the Prime sale.
Either the Viofo or Rexing will be good. Viofo generally has better customer support but they aren't too different.
It's a Rexing V1P. I've read 1 complaint on reddit somewhere, where a guy had left his in the car during a hot day and it got so hot it damaged the electronic on it. However, mine hasn't left the car so far and was in most of the summer. (I live in Oregon though, it doesn't get all that hot.) I'm not concerned because he mentioned the company didn't have an issue replacing it when he contacted them.
You get what you pay for. You really gotta invest some decent coin, but again look at all of the dumb shit I've been involved in. It's worth it.
The go to for bang-for-buck performance seems to be the Rexing V1P. It has dual cam capability and GPS which allows speed readings, as well as GPS, for any liability purposes in a car accident.
Like anything else, the secondary accessories are just as important. Maximizing your micro SD card, and having a backup or two are very crucial. This summer has killed 2 quality SanDisks from baking in the sun through the windshield. A standalone wiring kit going straight to the battery also allows for 24/7 running time, and a more solid connection when you hit bumps or get into fender benders. Cigarette lighter adapters are always going to be flimsy.
edit: another word of advice is when looking at best sellers on Amazon, avoid cameras that only have 30ish reviews and has only been on the market for a few months. The China paid reviewer squads have seriously gamed a lot. If it's got over 200 4+ star reviews, it's probably been on the market long enough to be considered durable and of value.
I use a Thinkware F750 with rear camera attachment. Quite pleased with it. You can get front camera and rear attachment here in town at Best Buy or on Amazon. Has on board GPS plus other nifty features like lane departure and forward collision warnings. It also has a speed camera database. We got rid of our cameras years ago, but I got to watch the feature in action when I was in Phoenix a few weeks ago, and it works very well, with an audible distance callout.
If that's too rich for your blood, the Rexing V1 is an excellent alternative.
I very highly recommend front AND rear facing cameras.
Mine has already come in quite useful. It captured this carwash mishap.
I have not been in any actual accidents yet, but the sheer amount of stupidity on the roads is staggering.
ok since it is happening repeatedly you need to get a dashcam and a rear dash cam (might as well get 2 side dashcams as well). you need to video every second of you driving and if/when this happens again you have the evidence to post.
order 2 of these:

I have this one in my pickup. You can see in the reviews some people have posted video footage. The LCD screen on the unit itself does suck but the videos themselves are great.

This one has worked for me. Decent quality night video, I bought it last may and it still works fine. The suction cup mount I bought falls off every once in a while so I think I'm going to go through the trouble of thoroughly cleaning the inside of the windshield and stick on the permanent mounting adhesive pads.

This model has worked great! A bit of cheddar up front but I think it's worth it long-term.

I have a Rexing V1P which appears to be lower end compared to yours. The rear camera is just standard def, which is better than no rear camera at all, but high def would be nice.
I may have to upgrade sometime...would the rear camera on yours be mountable on a vertical surface? E.g. the rear window of a truck?

This is the weak point of that dash camera. In warm climates it will cook in 1-2 summers.

This dash cam is ($450 USD), which puts it at a very high price tag, and it is not discreet.
Being not discreet will cause passengers to touch the dash cam, and play with it. This is extremely negative to anyone that has owned a dash cam for a while. You don't want other people to touch it, you don't want other people to want to touch it. - It looks like a camera, people will want to touch it and learn about it, and play games with it, and possibly disable it as a "joke."
2nd problem with not discreet, Police.
3rd problem with not discreet, Other drivers, and thieves.
You want your dash cam to be your silent witness, not anyone else's, or a target for theft.
I did not review this dash cam for Build quality, Parking mode, or Video quality.
> I’m willing to pay for a good one, especially if it’s sold at Best Buy, since I get a discount.
Best Buy - discount, you should look around for a better deal. You can easily find 20-30 USD off, or percentages off, or matching prices for other websites ect.

Just to complicate things a bit more: BlackVue 1CH dash cams can not be upgraded to 2 CH. They will lack the rear camera port, as the 1CH dash cams are physically different than the 2CH versions.
Thinkware dash cams which have 1CH/2CH versions can be upgraded from 1 CH -> 2CH.
Look around for the best price. - Standard copy pasta.

In the dashcam world there are two very specific types of dash cams.
Both types can be good dash cams, depending upon what you want them to do.

What are your values?

I really suggest fully researching the dash cam you want, and several dash cams you don't. Buyers remorse is real in the dash cam world, it is partially due to buyers value shift after owning/using the dash cam after a while.
I got a Rexing dual camera dashcam
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071LPV7G6/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_w6BwCbPN4QMS2
It works pretty well and it has continuous recording. No night vision mode sadly. Other than that it works just fine.
EDIT: I believe this is the camera with 1080p on both cameras. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EX8ATKK/ref=sspa_dk_detail_8?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B01EX8ATKK&pd_rd_w=fdHEq&pf_rd_p=10ebaf99-73de-4f5d-a994-e7f5fc52f86f&pd_rd_wg=42xXH&pf_rd_r=3CS0ZMVZKNFQJNV5V8R0&pd_rd_r=5834fe18-29c3-11e9-950e-c9e76c8cf3b3
I know you’ve gotten a few suggestions, but I use this guy: https://www.amazon.com/Channel-Dashboard-Recorder-G-Sensor-Recording/dp/B01EX8ATKK
It’s front and back and I really like it. I haven’t had to use any of the footage (thankfully) but it’s a good picture. Front quality is a bit better than back but it’s still good. Only real negative I have come across is with the rear camera at night, it can’t pick up much if there are too many headlights behind me. Day it’s perfect though. Don’t have that problem with the front camera with lights. It operates on looped footage so it will overwrite the oldest. You can do it in 3,5 and 10 minute increments (I think). It also saves any footage if it detects a collision so you don’t have to worry about that getting overwritten
I use this Reving dashcam with a 64GB SD card I got for ~10 off of Amazon too. I've had it for about a few months now, and it's already paid for itself. I didn't get into an accident, but a lady ahead of me did where a man did an illegal uturn and she t-boned him with no chance to fully stop. I don't know if it was insurance fraud or what the guy thought he was doing, but I was able to present my footage afterwards and very quickly help the police determine fault. If I had to get another dashcam, I would get one with a rearview monitor / face monitor on it as well as one with motion sensing like this one. Check out r/roadcam for more dashcam action too.
I use the front-dashcam-only version of this one. Got it during last year's Prime Day (about the only good thing I got that day lol) and have been very pleased with it. Drivers in my city are complete morons so it's caught some interesting moments...
I mounted mine on the sensor towards the bottom. Zero impact on visibility. Easy to run the cables along the inside edge of panels, door seals, and under floor mats.
I have this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EX8ATKK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Man, I looked but didn't find one that I deemed reliable. The closest I found was the Rexing V1p.

Tip tho... if you're in a place that gets very hot in the summer, the adhesive doesn't stand a chance. I'm using some crazy industrial strength glue.
A Reddit thread i BOUGHT https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EX8ATKK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and seems to work fine
Day late dollar short etc. I bought this one because some random dude on /r/fargo had it and has lasted for 3 winters so far. WE get -30F winters. The one I bought is https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EX8ATKK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Firstly I do realize that the CPL is for a different camera but I figure I can either make it work/return it/give it to a user on here. Same deal with the hardwire/fuze kit but it's mini usb so it'll work.
Product link for the already expired deal. I only had 5 minutes to read some reviews and watch a few videos. Reviews are mixed but I have every intention of installing, reviewing, and returning it if necessary unless I should just cancel it now.
I got this one

I just purchased this one a few weeks ago and it's great. Front and rear.

I would recommend getting a front and back camera. I originally had a rexing V1 but traded in my camera and upgraded to a v1p. This is the camera I have been using for about 4 years and I have no complaints about it.
Got a front and rear dashcamI've been pretty happy with it. I was in an accident a couple months ago and the guy claimed I ran a red light light when I knew he did thankfully I had a witness. I got a dash came so if it ever happens again and I don't have a witness I won't be screwed.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EX8ATKK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_wYvGzb2506W4S
I have this one. It works great, it is very stealthy and very easy to install.
I really like the Rexing V1. Low profile so you don't really notice and it comes with front and back. I like mine and happy with the bang for the buck for the video quality. I've had mine now close to 2 years and just installed it on my gf's car.
This is the model I have. It's all powered by one plug that goes into the power outlet but can be hardwired, especially if you want it recording while the motor is off.
Thought I linked in the last post. Guess not.
Rexing V1P 2.4" LCD FHD 1080p 170 Degree Wide Angle Dual Channel Dashboard Camera Recorder Car Dash Cam with Rear Camera, G-Sensor, WDR, Loop Recording
That’s the one that I have. There are newer ones, just choose which options are valuable to you.
It's a tough call. The Rexing has a wider FoV, is more discreet, and has the option of adding a rear camera, but the Z3 has WiFi and GPS built in (the Rexing has an optional external GPS module that you can buy).
If I were buying a camera today, I might go with the Rexing with the rear camera addon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EX8ATKK
