Well, from today I would suppose 4ch cams are not the mainstream for customers, 2ch would be sufficient for the most. We always need to keep in mind the costs. For a 2ch system with really high quality video (day + night) I estimate a limit of 300 USD is a threshold.
For such a system 1920x1080 for the front is mandatory and I would prefer same resolution for rear cam.
As someone posted before, if the main unit is sperated from the lenses it could be mount somewhere else and if the mainunit also has the abililty for quick attach/detach a harddrive or an SSD it would be outstanding .
A 4ch system is - in my mind - a really high end solution which will extend the costs of a "dashcam" significantly.
Please dont le me be misunderstood, I guess there is need for such a system and people will buy it, but currently it is not the main target for privates. For drivers/owners of car fleets, trucks and so on this would be a great solution.
What I am also missing is a playback software which easily displays both recorded files at the same time, with an option to show only a) front video b) rear video c) both videos PiP where you can swap the video content.
Not to forget, I didnt see one point mentioned here: a big, really BIG need is reliabilty of the cam/system. If a cam could do 100 things and have 1.000 options but you cant rely on it, no one needs such a box .
So some times a lot of options is fine, but never forget the old phrase "keep it as simple as possible" to avoid misbehavior.
