Hi All,
So I have done a ton of research over the past week on dash cams as I just bought a new truck and would like to protect myself and my investment. I am very comfortable with electronics in vehicles and plan to at some point do a hard wired install. I also like my installs to be clean and professional looking which is why I am posting in the first place.
Been reading all over the forum up and down and I like the mini 080x cameras but it seems they still have a few bugs to sort out and I am not thrilled with the idea of a tape mount as I have a 6 inch tint strip across the top of my windshield. I like the panorama cameras as well however it seems for the price, their recording quality isn't all that great in comparison to others in that range. I would really like to do something like LK-7300G where the camera is very minimal and I can make a nice clean install out of it with the DVR hidden away somewhere, however it is an older camera and just doesn't really match up to the stuff that is on the market today, especially at the price. I would really like something similar to that setup. I was also very interested in the mobius with a capacitor and wide angle camera like in techmoans video
I was thinking a mobius with the 8" extension, capacitor, and lens D
Plan is to mount the camera up near the roof of the car, and mount the DVR to the back side of my mirror, then route the power cable accordingly down the inside of an A pillar.
Edit**
Forgot to mention features.
Will not use GPS even if it is included against my will
will not use any silly features like parking, front side detection ect
just want high quality video in a clean/discrete way

However if there is a better solution or somebody has a better suggestion I am open to anything really, you guys know more than me i've only been at it for a week. Preferably along the lines of the LK-7300G as i mentioned earlier, but better quality and my concern with the mobius is nighttime quality.
Price is also not much of a factor as i can wait a bit longer to buy something more expensive if i have to but under $250 would be preferable and only gunna pay the higher $$ if its truly worth the extra money.
Thanks!

just found the LUKAS LK-7700 pro and 7900 ace. They look really good but I cant find any differences between them. there is a $50 price difference ($150 vs $199 on amazon) and the only complain I found about the 7700 is the review on amazon about the screen washing out with black when direct sun exposure occurs, and the night quality isn't all that great. The 7900 seems to be a really good option though, just want to know the difference between the 2 and if the 7900's are still shipping with a focus issue. Also considering the Finevu 300/500 but the lights on the back of them look annoying
