Hey everyone- new member here. I am looking for either a single all in one unit or two individual cameras (Want to record Front and Back) that can do the following for $100 or less in total:
-Built in LCD Screen w/ Menu
-Record 1080p (25 or 30fps is fine)
-Good daytime quality video (or better)
-Fair nighttime quality video (or better)
-G-Sensor, Loop, Auto on/off, and time/date functions
-Capacitor, not battery based (I live in Texas and park outside)
-Arm mounting system preferred (would like to be able to rotate/adjust cam)
Pretty much everything outside of that is optional. GPS and Lane Keeping would be nice, although not required (or expected at this price point). I am indifferent about pretty much everything else such as WiFi- I'm really just looking for a 'good enough' setup.
For reference- I am driving a 2005 Nissan 350z Roadster (Convertible), but plan to get a 2nd Gen (1996-2001) Ford Explorer soon that I might swap cameras into. Because of this, I feel that the second camera would probably work best if it were close to the back window of the Explorer. This would either require the housing of the second camera to be separate from the first cam (attached via a cable), or both cameras would need to be completely independent from each other.
However, it would still be nice to be able to record the inside of the car facing towards the back as well- mostly for police encounters and potential break ins. Because of this, I am also considering a '2 in 1' camera (with 2 built in cameras- one pointed out the front of the car, and the other pointing towards the back of the car, but still capturing the inside of the cabin since the second camera is built into the same case as the first and is further away from the back).
That said, although there are many different options available as described above, the G1W-C dash cams have really caught my eye- I feel that they would be good enough for my needs (especially for the price) and would work in different configurations.
I am looking for thoughts from you guys on the G1W-C, as well as any recommendations that you guys may have on other cameras that would also fit my needs.
Thanks in advance
