My husband has been a commercial truck driver for many years. He has been lucky enough to find a truck driving job that takes him back to our old home. Edmonton Alberta to Dawson City Yukon. A dash cam with good daytime video, capacitor run as temps will be at both extremes and most important, the ability to use 128Gb cards.
The record time calculator here says a 12 Mbps bit rate with a 128Gb card should hold ~72 hours. That will cover 99% of his driving time. It may be cheaper to be willing to drop to 64Gb capability and that will be 3 cards a week until he gets home.
G-sensors are a must. Rear facing isn't needed at all but a wide angle range would be best partly because this cam will be in a long nose 90s model Mack truck. A camera with an adjustable up/down lens may be best due to the high long nose of the 90s Mack truck.
Reading reviews can be depressing. The A118 model may be good but the charger seems to be problematic. The mini 0806 can hold two 128Gb cards but I don't want a battery. The SG9665 model is supposed to smooth out voltage waves when a big rig diesel truck is first starting up but it only holds a 32Gb card. That isn't enough.
