So every piece of tech whether it’s a dashcam, a radar detector, phone, computer, car, etc. is going to have a certain failure rate and inevitably some people are going to have some issues. Dashcams really need to be reliable. Who cares about the resolution, bitrate, cloud features, or how many cameras it has if it doesn’t record anything?
So I’m curious about the best ways to measure failure rates, as well as determining what a reasonable threshold should be before a model or brand is considered too problematic. What do you all think?
Forums are great for discussing stuff, but since these are places people go when they have issues and need help troubleshooting, problems seem to get magnified here. Most people who are out driving with no issues won’t come to a forum and so there’s a lot of people having a great experience who wouldn’t participate in a poll if we tried to gauge it that way.
I want a good way to consider reliability in reviews and recommendations and I’m curious to hear your thoughts on the best ways to gauge this.
Edit: I've created a survey here to help us get all the data together.
