- Vicovation Marcus MF-2
Early this year, I wanted to put front and back cams in both of our cars, but wanted to try a pair out on mine first. I found Vicovation's Marcus 2 cams on Amazon, for $135 each and bought a pair. I was busy and it took me a couple of months to get them to the installer but since then, the video quality is JUST superb!
You can see a short video from my cam, at https://www.facebook.com/UniversalI...787971364623/1353786134698140/?type=3&theater with a guy running a red light. There's also a screen capture there, where I can even identify his plate number.
The Ambarella is apparently only part of the equation with these things. One thing I've learned to look for, when I go through youtube videos for checking these things out, is the road just in front of the car, when driving at decent speeds. If that area becomes blurry or grainy, it appears that the processor isn't keeping up - isn't fast enough? But these Marcus 2's seem best with that too. I'm impressed. They even add GPS location to the video, which is nice but not crucial.
The problem is, that they were apparently discontinued after that, and Vicovation's other cams cost WAY more!
So I've been looking for 2 more cams for the other car, but the videos I've been seeing, even on highly rated ones on Amazon, are not so good. I guess the Marcus 2 is a tough act to follow, in that price range?
So what would you forum folks recommend?
