$600? Excuse me?

if it’s a 4K front camera, includes a rear camera, and installation, I’d say that might be a good deal, for Lexus, especially. I sell and install dash cams for a living, I prefer the thinkware U 3000, and U3000 pro. $550 and $580, respectively. Not including installation. SUV is about three hours at

Why is Thinkware so much more expensive?

Because it is quality backed by a company with great customer support than answers the phone. Just installed 3rd THINKWARE U3000 in my cars.Love the parking mode with OBD II connector

People keep hitting my brand new telluride…

I’d focus on how you’re powering parking mode. A lot of dash cams sound good on paper, but for hit and runs the setups people seem happiest with are hardwired with low-voltage cutoff or paired with an external battery so you’re not killing the starter battery. Buffered parking mode matters too becau

Neighbor had a mirror clipped overnight and now I am overthinking parking mode

Any thinkware with radar tech us what you need. The camera sleeps and uses radar to detect movement, only recording when triggered. It sips battery, can last a very long time as a result. Other cams use motion detection based on the camera, so the cam has to be on all the time and might only last 1

Is there a dash cam to fit all my needs?

If parking mode is your main priority, I’d honestly look at Thinkware first. A lot of cams really just save from the impact onward, but Thinkware’s radar parking mode can pick up motion before the actual hit, which is way more useful if you care about real evidence. And since you said you want more

What is the best dash cam for my 4th generation Mazda 3 Sedan?

Rather than supporting Amazon's evil ways and potentially getting a counterfeit product, I recommend supporting a smaller retailer that's going to offer you a decent price, actual support, and knowledgeable reviews. I usually order from https://www.blackboxmycar.com/ and have been very happy with th

Thinkware U3000 Pro (front & rear dash cam) - MicroSD Card Storage

Went through this too when I got the Thinkware U3000 installed; ended up with 256GB and honestly wish I hadn't debated it so long. 128GB works but you're still looping every few hours, 256GB gives you way more breathing room, especially once parking mode starts eating into it too. On the card brand,

Please help educate me…

  1. ability to review her data from my phone would be a huge plus. A cloud dash cam is the best way to accomplish this. Connect the camera to the hotspot on the driver's phone, and you can access clips over the Internet. Thinkware Q200 is an economical example. U3000 is a higher end model with better

Can you help me choose a dash camera?

Cams typically only record for a few moments after being unplugged, then save the file and shutdown. If you are concerned about an intruder unplugging the camera a Blackvue Box model may partially address that. Thinkware u3000 is indeed a great, reliable, option.

A dashcam

How good is the fitcamX? I like the appearance and simplicity. It taps into the mirror power? Will Hyundai grumble about that with warranty issues? I was considering a higher end Thinkware u3000 as the radar parking mode seems really good. Not as tidy from an install point of view though.
