Hello all, long time lurker, first time poster. Have been using a Z-Edge Z4 for a while now, reasonably happy with it. But just purchased a new car, and so of course I'm looking at new dash cams.
My top priorities would be:
1- Small/discrete. I like the idea of no screen at all. I like to hide it behind the review mirror and forget about it, and for it be hard to notice from outside the car.
2- Good video quality. I'm not necessarily looking for a budget cam, I'm willing to pay for high quality.
3- Wifi. With my current cam, there are times when something interesting happens during the day that I might want to see again, but often I just decide it's not worth messing the mount and pulling out my laptop and a card adapter etc. If I were able to browse/download clips on my phone (an iPhone), that would be a great feature to me.
Other factors:
1- I live in a hot climate, so I guess supercap is best.
2- I dislike voice notifications and funky beeps and sounds. If anything, just an unobtrusive audio notification that recording has started.
3- dual channel would be nice, but I'm not opposed to just running two cams.
So, any thoughts?
In looking at the various review threads, I quite like the B1W, though I'd be willing to pay more for better video quality. I also like the Viofo models, though GPS isn't a priority for me.
Thanks in advance for your input.
