Hey guys. Looking at buying a dash cam for my summer car in the next little while. I've had a couple dash cams in the past but never put much thought into it. I had one of those old generic flip-down screen dash cams that were all over eBay a few years ago, until it died on me. Never replaced it. Then last Christmas my dad bought me a Papago GoSafe 200 with the mirror clip. I like it, but it's a pain having to readjust my mirror everytime I try to take the SD upstairs to view videos lol. Anyways, so I'm looking for a new dash cam and have a few lined up, just looking for some advice or insight from you guys on them.
First on the list is the A119S. I like the wedge form factor. The adhesive mount I like because the suction on my old cam kept falling off the windshield. Video quality seems good too. And capacitor instead of battery is good because it's gonna be in a summer car. What I dislike, is that it doesn't have wifi. I'm trying to get one with wifi just to save me the effort of trying to remember to take the card upstairs when I need to save something. I've missed a few funny videos in my winter car because I've forgotten to bring it upstairs (it's a Crown Vic, so you can imagine how some people react to it rolling behind them on the highway).

The Transcend DrivePro 200 is next. Seems like a solid camera too. Slightly lower resolution than the A119S and stands out a bit more, but it has wifi which I like. Biggest downside is Amazon has it listed in Canada for almost $200! I'm trying not to spend that much.

Third is the Chupad D501. Seems like a newer camera so I don't know much about the reliability. But it ticks most of the boxes, similar to the Transcend one, except a lot cheaper and has the wedge form factor. Downsides are it has a battery instead of a capacitor, and I can't get it on Amazon (I'm a big lover of Amazon).

And lastly, is a Auto-Vox D7. Can't find much info on it, seems like it may be an Amazon brand type thing that isn't wide spread? Anyways, ticks off the wifi and capacitor boxes, and I like the form factor of it as well, similar to the BlackVue shape. But, seeing as how it's not listed in the comparisons and reviews on the site I'm not sure how good it may or may not be?

Anyways, if anyone has any experience with any of these cameras and can share some insight that might help with my decision, I'm all ears!
