Good morning. I am shopping for a dash cam, I have been doing a lot of reading on these things and would like some "real customer and user" input into what works well. Last year I had a hit and run hat that cost me $300 deductible and now last Friday some asshat backed into/hit my car while I was at the grocer. That will be a $500 deductible and potential insurance increase.
Key points-
-I do not need it parked at home at night, I have a home security system with all views of my car already.
-I do not need it at work, my parking is secure.
-My budget is $400 preferably more around $300.
-Clear, good video for day and night driving, prefer front and rear facing.
-I want it to run while I am in parked in parking lots running errands, etc. My car plug ins work while the car is off (2013 Ford Escape) and the thing has pretty much every kind of plug in available.
-immediate playback would be great, as well as "incident" alerts?
-no wifi in car. This could change.
I appreciate any good recs. Blackvue seems to be a popular one.
