Hi,
I had a DOD470W+ for many years, and was a great camera when I first got it back in 2014/5, the camera has been faultless until the other day the screen failed on one of the units, (I had one in the front and rear of the car) I think they where around £250 each back in the day, so was over £500 for the pair.
I recently purchased a Viofo A119 V3 and even thought it was much cheaper than the DOD470W+, it really isn't that much better all, actually worse at night and slightly better looking in the day, but overall in the day about the same. The cheap CPL filter is crap also on the A119 V3.
So this begs the question, regardless of money what is the best Dashcam or CCTV setup for a car?
And I don't mean, what has the most features, or what pretends to be 4k.. I mean, outright best video quality with high bitrate that can capture day/night well. (I understand its not a cinema camera).
Ideally, I would have a 4 channel NVR type set up, with professional grade cameras installed around the car. I would be happy to spend allot more for a quality set up.
I can't see anything on the market that is decent, better to buy a DSLR and hang it off the rear view mirror?
