Powerucc vs Vicovation or...
Hello, new member from Pennsylvania looking for first dashcam...
My wish list:
Image quality should be very good in all conditions, but doesn't have to be the best available. I don't want the typical blurry dark video of Bigfoot if he should cross the road in front of me.
Primarily will be used as an install and forget it just in case camera, I'm sure I'll download some videos from time to time but not frequently.
Build quality and probability of longevity is important, want it to be dependable with minimal maintenance. I have no issue with occasional FW updates, but I also don't want to be consistently upgrading or testing it.
Simple verification of proper function, i.e. a small light or beep at proper start-up.
Heat tolerance is important, I live in a moderate climate but my vehicle is often parked for long periods under full summer sun in the 90+F and we also have winter lows of around 0 Farenheit.
I don't need GPS
Discreet is preferred, but larger cams are not a deal-breaker.

Despite good recomendations, I think it is better to rule out the Mobius, DR32, and GT680W due to the use of Batteries.
The G1WC, is still on the table as a cheaper alternative but overall longevity is a concern for me.
The Powerucc Panorama and any of the Vicovation models seem to be similar mid-priced units, the only thing I'm not sure of is again the longevity difference between the two brands. The Vico 1 year warranty is a plus.
Thanks to a great forum!
