I just don't have the experience necessary to pick the right cameras and need the help of you guys that are really in the know. I have a 2001 Black Toyota Tacoma 2 door, Extended cab, totally stock, electric doors and windows.
This has become an extreme necessity for me because of people hitting me in the rear of my truck, another good hit and I might very well be in a wheel chair the rest of my life or worse!!
What I need or want, budget is 2 to $300.00 plus.
Cams I can depend on with a excellent/really good manufacture warranty. 3M stick pads to install the cams, I do NOT want suction cups, there are to many stories about them falling off!! All necessary wiring and accessories or place to get quality parts needed.
2 channel, or 2 separate cam connected together to run off the cars battery one for the dash and one for the rear, By far the rear camera is the most important to me as this is where I keep getting hit, but I would like the dash cam to be of excellent quality also. Both to be easy to service, take off mount and/or remove storage card
If I need an internal battery for some reason I want "capacitor's", to withstand the heat better.
Excellent quality video or as good as I can get, on a loop with 32 GB or hopefully larger storage that is easy to find. That I can take out, put in a formatted spare, put the original one in my computer and store files or reformat for the next exchange into the cam's.
I really don't care if they have a parking mode I don't need it, if sound/voice record I need a way to disable it. Not legal in my state. Jerks in my state want to protect the criminals!
I really don't want anything from China because of their reputation for producing junk or it taking a month or more to send something back for service.
I sure hope you guys can help me, every thing I said above is from reading on the Internet for the last few days day and night. NO practical experience!
If you see something I said that's wrong pleas tell me. Anyone wanting to make any suggestions whatever please don't hesitate to expound to your hearts content.
I'm editing this at 5.55 est to add that having "WDR" would really be great because of the enhancement of images/video.
