My Street Guardian SG9663DC has worked perfectly since May 2020 when it was installed using the hardware kit. Last the screen stopped updating and I found the Sandisk Ultra 128GB card had become read-only. I ordered the same card, inserted it into the Street Guardian, and formatted the card...

For a fairly inexperienced driver in the USA, what extra value does GPS provide? Is the speed on the video enough to avoid a speeding ticket when shown to police? Or is it useful in proving fault in an accident? Basically, is it worth paying the extra $30 to $50 more to add GPS to a dash cam?

I'm looking for a front camera dash cam to run when the car is being driven in the midwest USA. Wifi would be nice so it's easy to review videos. No plans to hardwire it. Trying to balance cost vs quality. Looking at these so far and prices I'm seeing now: Viofo A129 Plus - $139 70mai Dash...

With some dashcams including WiFi and the ability to view videos on your phone, I have some questions. If you get in an accident and wish to show the recorded video to the police, is WiFi a good approach? Is there a way on the phone viewer to save a specific video and e-mail it to the...

I'm looking at purchasing a SG9665GC with the hardware kit to enable parking mode. What's the best way to view recorded videos? It looks like one could use the buttons on the dashcam to view the recorded videos. That sounds a bit awkward trying to do that still attached to the windshield...

I'm reading of two options with Street Guardian and Viofo dashcams and wanted to see what you think. Option 1: Hardware dashcam so power is always on, add battery discharge prevention, and set up parking mode Pros: I'd have some video if someone hits the front of the car and leaves Cons: I...

Looking for: - Hardwired power always on for dashcam -> I'll wire this with an add-a-fuse kit myself - Parking mode - Low battery cut-off to keep the dashcam from draining the battery completely Is this included with the Viofo A119s? Would I need any extra kits to have the battery cut-off...

I have the Livue LB100 installed in an SUV sitting outside in Iowa. The Livue is hardwired so it always has power. This winter, I was a bit concerned leaving it recording when parked for two or three days at a time would drain the batttery. The past couple weeks were a good test with...

Why should we manually format the SD card every month or so? The Livue LB-100 and Viofo A119 both have settings that seem to indicate new videos will overwrite the oldest videos. Are we formatting the SD card separately to verify the card and mark any bad 'sectors' as one would with a...

I've ordered a Viofo A119 that's intended to be a gift for a elderly friend that lives several hours away. The idea is to set it up with a Transcend Ultimate 32GB card, verify everything works, and then install it in my friend's car when we're visiting at Christmas. Are there any config...

When the SG9665GC v3 is available, I'd like to order one for the primary family vehicle. A Viofo A119S sounds good as a gift for a friend, but if that's not available soon that might end up being something else.

After driving with the Livue LB-100 for a while, it seems like every bump in the road triggers an 'event' where the dashcam locks that video and records it in a special folder. Do most people turn that setting down in the config so it doesn't trigger as much, or do you just turn off the G sensor?

What's a good dashcam for a grandparent that lives too far away for me to help install? I'd like to send them something they can stick on the window, plug in power, and everything is ready. They don't need parking mode and under $100 would be best. From reading reviews, a VIOFO A119 looks...

Are most of you using the cigarette lighter to power your dash cam? After receiving the Livue LB100, it's really tempting to run a small power wire from the dome light to the rear view mirror so there are very few wires showing. Are there generally any power filters in the included cigarette...

Has anyone had luck mounting their dash cam to their visor? If the view forward is clear and vibration isn't too much of an issue, that might an idea position for something like a DVR 027.

Today, a car ahead of me at a stop light started backing up and threatened to hit me. With no witnesses, they could likely have claimed I rear-ended them. I'm now hoping to install a dashcam in my car in the next month. This site has been very helpful. I'm still in the search and learning...
