- A119, A118
Hi all,
Would be grateful for some opinions. We currently have an A119 mounted in the front of our car, which replaced an A118 when its battery died. We still have the A118 mount and GPS on the windscreen.
We want to add a rear facing camera to the back window and debating the options. The received wisdom seems to be to avoid dual camera devices and run with two completely separate cameras.
So I'm considering several options:
1. move the A119 to the rear window and replace it with something significantly better at the front - one of the Street Guardian cameras potentially. I expect the SG9665GC V3 might clip in to the old A118 mount.
2. as 1, but get a SGZC12RC for the front screen instead. As a later model, wondering if this is signficantly better than the 9665.
3. leave the A119 in the front screen and obtain something completely different for the back, a replacement A118 perhaps - probably the cheapest option right now.
4. ignoring the received wisdom, go for a dual camera device, in which case the choice seems to be X2, F770 or something from Blackvue or Lukas/Qvia. While not recommended, is there an accepted least-bad option from those?
5. Wait a while longer for the Street Guardian dual camera device.
Whichever option we go for, I fancy getting a battery power pack to wire in series with the cameras to get some parking protection instead of using a protector for the car's main battery.
Any recommendations for the best way forward?
Thank you.
