The shop I went with installed a Thinkware iVOLT BAB-50 to complement my VIOFO A229 Plus Front/Back Camera

Toyota Camry
Blackvue hardwired front and rear was $800 total installed by pro audio shop + $140 for a Blendmount. Best $940 I’ve ever spent.
Pros: best money ever spent
I am running the BlackVue and so far I am happy with my purchase.
Pros: happy with purchase
I went with the Viofo a229 Pro 3 channel. Front camera is 4k, quality is amazing. You can connect to the camera and download clips directly to an app. It also has a parking mode.
Pros: amazing quality, parking mode
Vehicle:

Blackvue will also be grand, and fits a bit better in my ND with it tucked behind the rearview mirror so I dont take up any valuable windshield space.
Pros: good fit, discreet

I just bought a new Rav 4 and paid $4500 for the protection package, tinting and dash cam. The BlackVue 800 Gold, front and rear cameras, fitted by Pacific Toyota in Cairns was $1500.
Cons: paid too much in labour
Vehicle:
Toyota
The first camera I had was the Viofo 229. The car battery would drain where my car wouldn't start unless I used my battery starter.
Cons: drained car battery
Vehicle:
Honda
