Hi Everyone! Long time lurker, but I believe it's time to actually contribute and post.
I need suggestions for a quality dashcam that will not flake out in the short term. I originally had a G1W-CB, but it looks like the cold weather killed one of the circuits (it would only stay on if I held the power button down). I just bought a A118C/B40, but it has a serious issue with recording video and producing a horrible high pitched noise.
Models I've had:

Hi Everyone! Long time lurker, but I believe it's time to actually contribute and post.
I need suggestions for a quality dashcam that will not flake out in the short term. I originally had a G1W-CB, but it looks like the cold weather killed one of the circuits (it would only stay on if I held the power button down). I just bought a A118C/B40, but it has a serious issue with recording video and producing a horrible high pitched noise.
Models I've had:
- G1WCB (Capacitor G1W, but with black bezel)
- B40-C (Autovox brand)
My needs are:
- Good video quality. I'd prefer something that does both day and night well, but something at least for daytime.
- Withstand colder temperatures. As in 0 F / -20 C. Summers can sometimes push 90 F, but we have harsh cold winters (though it's been mild this year!)
- Capacitor model. I've never had a battery model, though the thought of having one doesn't sit too well for me.
- Price. I'm willing to spend on quality, but nothing too crazy. Preferably something around $100 US to $150 US, but if something is a tad out of this range then it might be fine.
- Concealable/stealth like. The G1W wasn't too bad, but the wedge style was pretty nice for the 2 days I had it. But if the quality of the unit is worth it, I would be willing to sacrifice some of the stealth like factor. I know the Street Guardians have the same factor, but it scares me that another issue could arise from my previous B140 incident.
- I'd love dual channel, but the price seems way too high at the moment. I considered the Blackvue that recently had a Massdrop, but the bitrate and other issues reported killed it for me.
