Hi all,
I'd like to hear some opinions (and preferably backed up by samples) on what is currently the best dash cam out there in terms of image quality.
I currently own two dash cams myself, a Blackvue DR900S-2CH and a Viofo A119S.
Aside from the fact that I ran into several issues with my Blackvue (WiFi issues, videos missing GPS track, or videos with partly missing GPS track) I would call the image quality of the Blackvue DR900S-2CH camera decent. In some lighting conditions it's great, in other it's mediocre at best.
To me, it seems that the A119S has a more 'stable' image quality overall. I'll add some sample stills from the Blackvue below, the stills from the Viofo will be added later (don't currently have them on this pc)
In short, 4K (which equals to roughly 4 times Full HD 1080P) doesn't mean 4 times the image quality. We all know that more megapixels doesn't necessarily mean better image quality.
So my question to all of you (and hopefully we can help some people that don't know what to choose) is:
What is currently the best dash cam out there in terms of image quality.
When making suggestions, please include the following things (if possible):
- Dash cam brand / model
- Price
Please only attach raw stills or video, as Youtube and/or other similar websites compress the video, so there won't be a fair comparison.
I wonder if there is a dash cam out there that is able to record in such a high quality that you could read all license plates and traffic signs without problems.
For all of you looking to buy a new dash cam, also take a look at 'The list of shame' with "fake 4K camera's". It's a nice thread to warn people about fake marketing stories some of the companies in the industry come up with. This thread can be found here.
Images were too large to add so I added them to my Google Drive here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1zpYU8jW31MNShDNms0SAQHY5jbRAsvKy
