Mine failed again - Blackvue 900. First time was a few months ago, it just stopped turning on. Sent it in for RMA which took over a month, got it back. Worked for a few months, then the rear stopped working. I tried formatting/updating the firmware on the SD card then the front stopped working too. Same distributor as above. I'll 100% never buy Blackvue again.
No offense but all those cameras look like generic junk.
The IRO dashcam is the nicest one since it's actually made for the car, is easy to install, and looks OEM.
Thanks. Easy DIY installation itself saves couple hundred bucks.Here is the USA distributor. He's in Palo Alto, California: Tesla
I would buy locally as that means you can go through him for any warranty issues.
I second thisViofo a119 versions are great value for money. Just use s high quality microsd card. I have them in 3 vehicles and no issues after several years.
yes, they are heavily and aggressively promoted via amazon and certain 'deal' sites.Anybody here has tried the Aukey? they have great reviews in amazon

Quality is 3/5 on image / videos esp night video, though they really stand behind their product and honor warranty to the letter, will replace if the item fails.
I still feel the A119v2 is a better option, and rather than get a 2 channel cam, I run the 2 of the same A119v2 front & back. I do lose on the 'sync'ed' video in a single channel, but I gain on the quality of the video both front and back than having a compromised video at the rear. you Though in the US, in case you are rear ended, the law almost always will side with you.

The camera brand / type does NOT decide if it records while in motion or all the time 24x7.Which dashcam should be used if power source is from the behind the microphone panel? Some camera seem to continuously recording since the power source doesn't shut off. I only want it to record on motion only.
Obviously, there are many ways to define best, judging from the opinions here.
Owl is different because it comes with built-in cellular with on board storage and no need for an SD card. The mobile app is well maintained and you can always check the app for clips or your car's location on a map (which is more useful for non-Teslas). Or get a live view from the camera remotely. Self-install is simple with a connection to the OBD port. Firmware is auto-updated OTA. While not perfect, it is very convenient because you don't have to worry about SD cards, a separate cellular device and its data plan. The app supports multiple cars/devices.
in that case, you might want to hook it to a power source that comes on when the car turns on.I was planning on ordering the Thinkware F200 and using the power behind the Mic, but then I am thinking about how does it power off? I don't care about recording when I am parked, just when I drive. Can it detect motion and start recording? I don't want to have to press a button every time I drive.
Novice here regarding dash cams, the IRO certainly looks very interesting including its ease of installation, however, I assume by looking at the website it does not offer any rearview capability. Is that correct?
