Hello my name is Roger - a soon to be 71 year old who is just now realizing the benefits of haveing a dash cam. I would sincerely appreciate some advise on the purchase.
With lots of time to do research, I have read so much that my mind is boggled !
One thing appears certain, while most of the dash cams out there seem to have their share of positive features, there also seems to be a lot of "fakes" that are unreliable.
In my purchase decision, reliability is the most important issue. I want something that will work right from the get go & continue in that manner.
Abundance of features is not really necessary for me. Don't really need GPS
& night time clarity is not really important as I hardly drive at night.
While price is not a major issue, I am from Canada & our dollar is in the toilet at the moment - so I have to be mindful of the exchange rate from USD to our dollar.
I have made a short list of 3 cameras but am open to expand or modify that list based on your advice.
Not in any order they are:
Papago Go Safe 200 which I can buy from Costco in Canada for $158.75 tax in.
Papago Go Safe LORA (381) from Best Buy in Canada for $192.09 tax in.
Falcon Zero F170 from Amazon Canada for $214.64 tax in.
Each of these has something to offer but all 3 "seem" to be reliable. Right now I'm leaning toward the Falcon allbeit that I believe that it will be less discreet than the others.
Would like to stay in the $200 (Canadian) price range & am open to consider all suggestions.
Any advice / assistance / guideance would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers & thanks in advance = Roger
PS - my reason for raising a new thread is because I see very little mention of the Papago brand here & the Falcon appears to have only been recently released.....
