vs
Dash cam VIOFO or GARMIN
I use a VIOFO, whatever the newer dual channel cam is. It hasn\u2019t let me down yet and has really good quality.
Pros: good quality, hasn't let down
Cons: pricey, older model failed
I run a Garmin Mini 2 with a Dongar Technologies mirror power adapter. It hides behind the mirror so well you dont even realize it is there.
Pros: hides behind mirror
I bought the VIOFO VS1 last month and it’s working well so far. No screen on the back but I actually like that as it’s less of a distraction when driving… and you just pull the video off via the WiFi connection when you need it.
Pros: working well, less distraction, WiFi video transfer
Got the Garmin dashcam mini2 Installed. Nice that Garmin makes the power source from the OBDII port so no hack wiring was needed. I can't even see it from my driving position. The Garmin app is pretty useful too
Pros: no hack wiring needed
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Part number: MINI2
I’m a fan of the Viofo A129 Duo. I have one hardwired in both of my cars. Parking mode, 4k front and 2k rear resolutions, fairly easy to hardwire myself, and the app is ok.
Pros: easy to hardwire
Cons: the app is ok
This, I got the garmin mini 2 for my wifes car, and wired it off the rear view camera. Super easy and the slimmest camera out there.
Pros: Super easy, slimmest camera
I have a Dashcam 46 that saved my bacon when an uninsured driver hit me. The police refused to issue any paperwork despite me showing them what happened.
Pros: saved my bacon
Said this in the other thread, but Garmin Mini 2. Simple, no screen, made well and you can either use an app on your phone to pull the clips, or put the SD card in a card reader.
Pros: Simple, made well
Cons: only front facing
I lived in Vegas and last couple years before leaving I had Viofo A129 Plus. Never had a problem.
Pros: never had a problem
Cons: avoid full 4k cameras
Another vote for VIOFO A129 Plus Duo. We're well into our second summer with it, and haven't had any issues at all.
Pros: no issues at all
