Best dash cam advice,

[Elvis7]

I had purchased a genius dvr500 a few months ago and to my recent driving encounters, I realized the pictures quality was no good enough, so I went out and purchased the genius fhd 600 and its picture is great, crisp and clean, 1080p 30fps and 720 at 60fps, but the thing is, it seems to freeze and hang on random occasions and I do not realize this until 10 minutes ish into driving. I have about 6 more days to return the product and wanted to know if I could get a better cam for the around the same amount, it costs 192$ total.

any help would be great.

Hi Elvis7,

The FineVu CR-500HD is a good, but expensive camera. If you are looking to spend $200+, take a look at the Itronics ITB-100HD as well. You can then decide if the CR-500HD is worth the extra money.

thank you for the reply, the picture quality seems to be a lot better at night and day with the cr500 compared to the itronics and there seems to be a lot more options with the finevu also(more advanced parking mode, with visual motion as well as shock recording and easy buttons...). so ive found a seller, 216 for the itronics with power magic.. 344 for the cr500 with power magic . the only thing is, do I need the Cpl filter for the cr500 or not, because that adds another 40$

Hi Elvis7,

The picture quality is better for the FineVu but the parking mode is the same. Both have motion and shock recording. The CPL filter is a personal choice. In sunny conditions, especially when driving towards the sun, the picture is much better with the filter. However it makes the picture very dark at night or when it is darker out. You will need to remove the filter at night for acceptable quality. So if you are ok with putting on and removing the filter depending on the conditions outside (bright vs dark) then get it. If you don't want to fuss with the cam, don't get it.

Ok thanks, so now its between itronics 100 with power magic for 216 or finevu 500 with power magic for 340.. now theres talk of a newer itronics and newer blackvue dash cam coming out in December, not longer sure if I should by one the wo choices or wait for new cams so that perhaps prices may go lower or the newer cams will be well priced.
Also, I do not want to drill holes in the itronics for that will void the warranty it comes with (1 year) from the seller, so I guess im with the finevu 500. now to decide if I should wait or buy it :S

ive decided on the finevu cr500hd , its 340 with power magic on ebay from applect but they said I could buy the combo for 320 is I buy it straight from them off paypal.
