$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

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

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

New Owner!!
Screen saver from Amazon is probably the cheapest and best accessory to protect that super soft infotainment screen. I had THINKWARE U3000 Pro front and rear Dashcam installed. Uses OBD II power connector so no fuse box taps and has one of the best parking modes to save battery drain.

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 Q850, U1000, U3000 would be my recommendations for a good quality dashcam. There are other brands out there ive just had really good success with Thinkware, plus the app is easy to use. When you use a suction cup the window should be at room temperature. If the window is too cold the sucti

Dash cam tips?
I do this for a living. Strongly recommend the thinkware product, specifically the U3000 with the OBD II adapter. Routing of the cables requires you to be cognizant of the airbags, specifically the side curtain airbags, along the edges of the headliner and in the a pillar on either side of the winds

Please help educate me…
- 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.
