Help me choose...$30-$50 dash camera

[kikiupload]

Hello everyone!
I'm new here and in the world of dash cameras
I did some research about this topic, but I would like to get opinions by experts here.

1. I'm buying on Aliexpress.
2. Price range $30-$50.
(And yes, I am aware that I can not get very reliable and perfect camera for this price. I know that real thing is above $100. I get it all that, but situation is like that, find best FOR ME in that price range.
3.1080p/720p? If it is real 720p, that's fine by me. But I would not mind and 1080p
4. MJPG video codec, I would love to avoid that. MOV with H264 would be perfect
5. AV out and automatically delete previous videos options, when card is FULL, so loop recording. I don't wanna, I have to manually format card when card is
full while loop options is on. This thing are must have it.

6.Extra options, not necessary camera has to have it, but it would be nice.
So, I do not demand this things:
Stamped speed on video, rotate options in all angles not just up or down.


I know I should be looking something with real Novatek 96650 for better picture.

So, this I found what would be OK I think.

I think this one is best I could find on my list.
1.A118 B40 $49 (Novatek 96650 / MOV/H.264) - now is $60 it was $49. I think they will change price back to $49.
(Yes, I know there is version without battery, but that one has higher price

Seller confirmed:
Novatek 96650 chipset, MOV/H.264.
He will send me video sample.

2.Anytek AT66A $49 (Novatek 96650 / MOV/H.264)

Seller didn't confirmed me yet, chipset, video format and video sample.


3.AT500 $36 (Novatek 96650, MOV/H.264)

Seller confirmed:
Novatek 96650 chipset, and he said its H.264. I'm waiting to confirmed thats is MOV and H.264
Video sample, still waiting for this. It's somehow big problem him to upload video. So, this could be not good sing.

4.AT550 $32 (Novatek 96650, MOV/H.264)
http://tinyurl.com/j5xkz5o

Still waiting for confirmation from seller about chipset and video format.
One buyer put this video about this camera.

5. Annke X2 34$ + 9,75$ shipping =$44 (Novatek 96650, MOV/H.264)
On seller pics this is Annke X3, but its really Annke X2 according to feedbacks. Seller must put wrong picture here.

Still waiting for confirmation from seller.
Two buyer put this video samples:

1.At the moment my first choice is A118/B40, but only if its 49$ like it was before.
2.Second is AT550 $32.
3.Third choice is Anytek AT66A $49.

Any suggestions or thoughts are welcome.





My previous experience with dash camera TOGUARD 2.46.
I bought for $21 this camera, with Novatek 96220, and picture is so so. But for $21 it's not so bad.

My video sample:

So problem with that camera is/was:
AV out not working well, I must got defect one. But I got $13 refund for this.
2nd problem is, loop recording is not working well. When card is full, I have to manually format card. I tried all tips from seller but not working.
But one guy told me, problem could be key symbol on screen. And yes, I noticed there is key icon when its recording. So, I'll tried to find disable that option and try again.

Sorry on my English

Most of what you have listed is not great, the A118 (Viofo version) is worth the money, just make sure to buy from a reputable seller or you risk getting the copy version

I'm aware of that. Thank you.

I hate it when people restrict themselves to one seller when another one may have a much better deal waiting for them. I'm currently running 2 of these, had them a few weeks and they work well. Genuine NT96650 and AR 0330 with supercaps- I opened one up and looked for myself. $37.27 plus card and shipping right now, a tough deal to beat

Hi friend. Yes, I know about G1WH, and I already have it And I know this is best cheap camera there is.
I never said it must must must be on Aliexpress. I'm open mind person, I will gladly try other webshops, do not get me wrong
My father is hard person man, doesn't wanna have two same cameras, so I'm looking something else out there.

But I must admit, this price is amazing, thank you very much.

Maybe I misunderstood you then, my apologies to you. The A118/B40 would by my choice, it's a better known cam than those others with a good reputation for a budget-priced cam.
