I'm looking to buy my first ever dash cam just as a precaution. However, I am unfamiliar with what is worth the money and what is not and what brands to look for and what to avoid
I'm looking to spend around £100-£150 for a dash cam, £150 if it is of a very good quality.
Ideally I just want one which enables me to clearly see the drivers face in another car and the number plate, along with parking mode and night vision as I do drive at night often.
What would you guys recommend? Any particular brands I should look further into? Would 1080p do, or should I go for a 4k dash cam? Also are rear camera's worth it?
I found the following Nextbase 522GW 4k dashcam on Halfords (https://www.halfords.com/technology/dash-cams/dash-cams/nextbase-522gw-dash-cam). So just about makes my budget, however, it's an additional £50 for the rear camera (https://www.halfords.com/technology...-window-add-on-camera?request_type=bestseller).
What are your opinions on this? As it's maybe slightly exceeding my budget, I would only be willing to purchase it if it does what I require it to do and maybe even more! Or do you guys think this is a overkill and that I do not require 4k and that a cheaper 1080p camera would do?
Sorry if this does not make sense! I am new to this forum and also new to dash cams and would appreciate any help I could get. Thanks!![Big grin :D :D](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png)
