Thank you
@SawMaster ! I'm a reader since very long time, but now I've decided to make an account and ask that question, maybe some other questions as well.
I've had a pretty decent DOD about 10 years ago or so, and then a Vico Opia 2 since about several years. Now my Opia 2 has died (my fault). This one was pretty good overall, cannot complain much.
I am not looking especially for the parking feature, however, if there is an easy one (i.e. using OBD connection, not hardwire) available on the dash cam, that'll be eventually used - provided it'll not draw the battery to the point I cannot start the car anymore.
But I kind of care to have capacitor instead of battery, as battery in high/low temperature is not a good choice. I am too lazy to take the dash cam off every time when I park, so the cam will get to stay in the sun in the summers quite a lot.
Overall, I don't want to spend more than 200Eur on it (the cam + the card + eventually GPS) - translated to the prices you have in the US that'll probably be around what you can find on the market for ~150 USD.
I think having a wide angle is better, so, the wider, the better. I don't care much about the fish eye which is so obvious at 170-180 degrees lenses.
Personally, I also don't care much if it's 4K or 2K or 1080p, but I think 60FPS at any of these resolutions would be (much?) better than 30FPS, as it may capture the plates at high(er) speed easier, isn't? I might be wrong, so please do correct me if I'm wrong.
Wifi is probably nice to have, a screen also, GPS maybe, but it's not a must. I don't need a 2 channels dash cam, even if overall it's nice to have.
All I want is a dash cam which takes good/clear video of the plates in the day (~70% of the driving time) and at night if possbile (quite important when I drive in some specific areas). Worth to mention that most of time I drive in Germany, where the driving speed can get quite high sometimes
So I have found those two models from Vantrue, and I've been reading that the A119v3 is pretty good for the money.
well, seemingly my simple question turns to be a request for an advise, which dash cam should I get.
