Hello FReepers. I'm looking for advice on which dashcam to purchase for my vehicle. Just looking for something quick and easy to use. Any suggestions or advice provided is greatly appreciated! Thanks

I’ve seen them all over ebay and Amazon. Lots to choose from. Thanks

No personal experience, but it usually read what the tech geeks have to say about things.

I have the E-Prance mini 801 and it works just fine. They now have a mini 803 for a few bucks more.

I bought this one. I’m very happy with it.

How about just using your cell phone.The IPhone makes a great dash cam providing you don’t keep it running when not needed.i just use it when I’m commuting between home and work.Thats about a half hour and it works great.

Intended use?
Asking because if you are are intending to use it to avoid stops for “driving while American”, I suggest getting one that will “fast upload” to your cloud-site.

If you intend to preserve the stupidity of other drivers who may or may not involve you in their shenanigans, there are several less sophisticated units available. Check out [http://www.tigerdirect.com]

I’ve had an A118 (they sell under various names, so search for A118) for about a year. It’s been a good camera and mounts on the windshield in a way that does not block your view at all.

Like texting while driving, these devices may soon be illegal. Just saying..........

Can’t figure out why somebody needs one. I have a GoPro I’ve mounted on the dash. Once you see a couple hours of highway driving, it’s a yawn. If you are off roading it can be fun. I have two Hawaii bus tours saved...can go back and enjoy those. But for routine driving, why?

Why? To document Mr. Rambo when he pulls you over and acts like an Azz.

Juggling all those film canisters on a solo road trip would be a challenge.
