Hello all. longtime unregistered lurker, but the (almost) purchase of a new car has me once again researching dash cams, this time with the intent to buy
Basically, all I would like is a F/R dashcam setup thats relatively compact and has high quality recording. I intend on hardwiring everything, so a model with voltage sensing would be useful. Budget wise, I'd be aiming for a top unit since this is probably going to be the most expensive and least used car I'll ever buy, for now (2020 STI)
Really the only 2 things I've seen so far are the Blackvue DR900X and the Street Guardian SG9663DR. The DR900x has better front recording, and is probably going to be easier to mount/set up (no big control unit), but it seems like SG has way better reviews and customer service.
Are there any other options that anyone would recommend? I did look into the Thinkware U1000 and the Viofo A129 and A139 series. Functionally, I understand the usefulness of a front camera with a built in screen, but aesthetically, I'm not a fan.
Thanks in advance!
