First of all, let me say that coming across this forum is fantastic. I have learned a lot about dash cams in the last hour, more than I realized that I wanted to know. When I first started looking for a dash cam I thought I would just go to Amazon and find one with the best reviews and deal done. I come to find there are so many and all have poor reviews as well as great reviews. I also note there are many reviews that are slanted and bias because the vendor is supplying them with free product. A majority are stating that fact, so it's not all bad.
Having said that, I have not found a matrix that would detail the products in categories and attributes so that I could canvas them all (or even filter) to ensure what I'm looking for in a dash cam. Maybe I can't get everything I am looking for, but knowing what I want now and finding it are presenting a time drain and seriously getting anxiety attacks. I need to order a camera this week for my road trip.
In conclusion, I may continue to post here in summary fashion after I purchase something and road trip it and this may only be post for which I add any amount of rambling, but would like some guidance.
Needs:
I'm not concerned about price
I want parking mode with motion detection and auto record
I want 2K video (good day and night and transitions (day, night, hot, cold)
- could care less about audio outside (would like to control inside)
I don't want inside or rear video, just what is in front of me
Good suction mount with the lever set and release
WiFi so I don't need to mess with USB
USB 2.x for power so I get good power to the device and tells me it's a quality product
If any have a battery options with no cords, maybe but I think power needs to be reliable
Nice viewer on back to ensure operation
Human Factors in interface a must - Onscreen or on the device for quick access
No GPS needed - No Speed indicator needed
Must have 64GB SD
I want to record the best video possible all the time (cloud connect OK as option)
It MUST withstand extreme heat and cold (almost number 1 feature)
Good support and warranty.
Anything come close at all or do we need to wait for Samsung to get into this space?
Any help appreciated. Don't be rude, I'm a noob.
