I have just joined "DCTalk"...researching my first dash cam...must have capacitor...would like parking mode...good video...not sure about 1 or 2 CH?...have it narrowed down to Street Guardian and Lukas, for now, but am open to other makes. They all seem to have problems of some sort, but most resolved, it seems. Have a Toyota Rav4 (2005)...would love to be able to rotate camera if dealing with someone at my window (different mounts would accomplish this, I believe). Would also love to take the cam with me when I rent a car on vacations. All opinions and suggestions greatly appreciated. I see I am rambling now, so will stop here. Thanks in advance!

Good Morning Bruno,

We retail both Street Guardian and Lukas.
So where to begin.

Welcome to Dash Cam Talk!

Both Lukas and Street Guardian are all capacitor based cameras.


You mentioned that you were not sure if you wanted 1 or 2 channel. This choice is really yours. 2 channel is defiantly useful to have, and doing it with a two channel camera is my preferred choice. Apposed to doing two separate single channel cameras. Some of the benefits of having a proper two channel camera, all your videos are fully synced on one memory card, if there is something wrong with the rear camera (cable becomes unplugged from say dogs lol) the front camera will notify you of the problem, and lastly if you say purchase the Lukas LK-9750 you can view the rearview camera on the screen and use it as a rear view camera for reversing.

Rotating mount is a bit of a tricky one.. A lot of the high end cameras do not allow this, while a lot of the cheeper camera will (G1WH, G90). That being said the Street Guardian SGZC12SG mount style does allow this 🙂

If you are wanting to record your vacation drives, and want these in full High Definition then you will want a camera that is capable of storing 64GB or more. All the current Lukas camera are able to take up to 256GB and should even take a 512GB if you want to spend that much.. While Street Guardian, it depends on the model. At the very least however all Street Guardians can take up to a 64GB. Finally the SGZC12SG is just like Lukas when it comes to this, and can take a 256GB at the most.

Please let me know if you have any questions!
