Dashcams are the best purchase you can make for your car, it provides an unbiased view of what happened during an accident and will save you a lot of money in the long run. I was side swiped by a van whilst I was parked and the guy drove off without stopping, came back to my car and the camera had caught it all as soon as the car moved slightly. Highly recommend getting one and don't forget to get a large SD card for it, if you chose a high quality for the video you'll only get a few hours of footage with the 32GB size.

Would also recommend getting one that has GPS tracking on it as well as it can save your arse if you need to prove that you, or rather the vehicle, was somewhere else. Shop around on Amazon, I'm using this one and don't have any complaints.

Never submitted clips to the police of twats on the road, eventually they'll crash or be caught by a camera/officer. If you need examples of why you should get one though just look at the UK dashcam compilation on YouTube, there have been some occasions where the other drive has lied through their teeth only to be proved wrong by the camera.

If you buy a decent dash cam it should be able to survive the heat without issue. I personally haven't had any issues with mine in the summer heat.

My recommendation would be the C1 Pro. It's a little on the expensive side, but it's a solid device by a reputable company.

Link for the lazy.
I'd also recommend this one as it seems to be a upgraded version of the one I have and linked in another reply.

It's this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072FVX74Q/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Have you had any experience with others? I am reading about ones with 2k quality, here is one I was looking at (same brand):

Any thoughts?

Hey! I also have a 2019. The 12v lighter is on 24/7. I use it often to charge my camera, watch, headphones, etc. The USB ports do turn off a few minutes after the car is turned off. If left unlocked it will stay on a few minutes longer than locked. It will automatically turn back on as soon as the car is unlocked and then turn off again if the car is not turned on.

I use this one, I prefer the form factor and features. I really wanted one that was flush with the window and unobtrusive:

I have the wire running along the roof liner and a pillar. No fixed in place but tucked it in with my nails and used tape inside the door jam to hold the cable semi tight. Cable goes under the dash to the USB port above the cup holder. Just have the exes cable tied up and tucked under the dash. Only took a few minutes.

I tried to make it more discreet by mounting the camera as much in the spotted/shadded window portion as possible.

I use the VAVA Dash Cam. https://www.amazon.co.uk/VAVA-Image-Sensor-1080p-Videos-x/dp/B076FVPTLN

The Nextbase 312GW is currently the second highest rated one on Which (the highest rated one is about twice the price): https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nextbase-312GW-Full-1080p-Black/dp/B01ELRJW5Q

But if I were to get one nowadays, I’d probably get one from Anker, purely because I’ve had great experience with their other products, and their customer service is top notch when it comes to guarantees. Which would likely end up being this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Roav-Resolution-2560X1440-Wide-Angle-Recording/dp/B072FVX74Q/

One of the main things you want in a dashcam is a GPS sensor, this will log your drive and also show your speed on the recording.

i'm debating between rexing v1 and the roav by anker (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072FVX74Q/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A294P4X9EWVXLJ&psc=1)

i'm horrible with electronics though and I don't want a wire plugged into my car adapter port. I'd like to tap into the mirror but not sure what that would do to the car warranty

Oh no thats not the one I have. I have this one.

Its made to operate in harsher temperatures like what we have during the summer. But if I were doing it again, I would go with the pro.

The Yi is the one that did not work for me. It was blurry and the picture wasnt clear enough to really read any license plates or anything.

Anyone can attest to this one, or any recommendations?

Roav by Anker Dash Cam C1 Pro

Just bought a new car and while I wasn't at fault in my previous car's accident, I just feel like I need protection. Not trying to spend over $100, but want something "nice"

Thank you for looking. Hopefully I can get a good response before the sale ends!

I have this one: https://www.amazon.com/Resolution-2560X1440-Wide-Angle-G-Sensor-Recording/dp/B072FVX74Q/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_107_t_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=9EB75A4TWDHWMWV2FAYT (goes on sale for under $100)

I mounted it behind the rear view mirror (i can't see it and forget it's there). gets power through usb, so I ran the wire in the head liner, down the a-pillar, under the steering wheel, under the center console, through a access hole and it'ts plugged into a dual port usb charger there. pretty much invisible.

Alternatively, you could get power from the fuse box.
