I have reviewed older forum posts and the forum 'what to buy sticky'
I live in southern AZ, so it needs to be heat resistant. Not looking for features such as GPS, WiFi, etc. Would like to put the money toward a simple, reliable unit with good resolution. Good night time video would be a bonus. In other words not looking for "bells and whistles" in order to not get the more/most expensive units.
Ease of use would be another consideration. If it is complicated to set up, download video, etc, that would tend to lead me to not use the dashcam.
I'm looking at the Lukas 7900 series (7900, 7950...). The 7900 ACE seems more basic than the newer Lukas models, but they appear to be out of stock right now. One of the criticisms is that the user interface of the Lukas isn't good and the instructions (translation to English from Korean? Taiwanese) are poor.
Another unit considered is the VIOFO A119.
I'd like additional input from all you experts out there on what models I should consider before purchasing. I know there are new models coming to the market all the time, so let me know if there are better units available than the older ones I'm considering.
Thanks!
