Hi.
In the past year and a half and one year I've had two different budget cams on two vehicles. Both are dual channel. One is an Apexcam while the other is a Jeemak as seen here:

They both have hundreds of great reviews so I don't understand why both have screwed up for me. Though they are about $50 to $65 USD.
The Apexcam has very mediocre video quality despite the high reviews. It also asked me many times to format the card. And if I drive for like half hour or more, I check the footage and there are many missing files. It has always done this. It also says every single file is 483mb when viewing the SD card on my computer.
The Jeemak clearly has better video quality, but again, drive for a while and tonnes of video files are missing. And this will turn off while driving at random times and sometimes it will stay off while other times it turns back on. It is plugged properly into the 12V. It also sometimes has corrupt files that refuse to open, same like the other cam.
For both I have legitimate name brand 32GB class 10 SD cards that I bought new at the same time. I have full formatted both several times but the problems with missing footage always continues.
I'm sick and tired of constantly fooling around with these garbage cams. But at the same time, I'm on a budget and need a new cam for each car. I want to start with one and try it out for a couple of months before buying the other.
Can someone recommend a better quality cam that is dual channel with rear cam that can hook up to tail lights to give me backup cam with safety lines? I prefer to the have the backup cam on the trunk with the lines because we occasionally have to park our long cars in single file on a driveway and park very close as the driveway is only 18" longer than our total car lengths.
Like the title says, trying not to go over $120 but if I must I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks.
