Looking for a dash cam that wont die.
Out of 5 dash cams, 4 have died. ALL because they operate off of the batteries and when they cant hold a charge they wont even turn on. I've tried to self repair, but most have the special flat batteries and are soldered or just impractical to repair. It seems to be the heat that kills the batteries as I'm in the Caribbean.
It seems no matter how many stars on Amazon, or how many brands I try, same result. I'm not even buying the cheapest models, but still the same.
Just need a dash cam that works and won't die within 6-12 months.
This is the latest one to die... had 4.5 star reviews when I bought it, but now its about 3.5.

Features I want:
-Decent video, should be able to read plates. 1080 or higher
-Good mount - no suction cups or anything that hangs on a swivel. Our roads here are horrible and such cameras just end up moving around like a bobble head.
-With screen
The Lumia that just died worked really well except for the dying part.
