Viofo A229 has been my go to after a shotty cheap cam couldn't read plates and so nothing could be done about a hit and run. Now I can read plates day and night and even see the driver face in most cases, even with tint. Both are very important to actually using dashcam footage for anything out side

“Sorry I couldn’t see it”

Get a Viofo with Sony Starvis sensors, something like the A229 plus or pro. Wiring is super easy to pretty easy depending on what year your MX-5 is. At best you can wire it in to the mirror with an adapter, and at worst you can just the wires in the trim pieces around the windshield down to the fuse

What dash cam should I buy? Newbie here

I always say stick with known brands like VIOFO and VanTrue. For a solo cam, I’d go with either the A119 Mini2 or the VanTrue E1. Both are compact and discrete though that the E1 is more compact. The A119 has the Starvis 2 sensor which really helps with night time. Again, it’s front only but it’ll c

To the asshole who hit and ran us yesterday: may your your garbage plates always have bland meat sauce, and may your Genny always be flat and warm

We need to sticky a "get a dash cam". At the least spend $60 on some POS from amazon for front. If you want a rear go to amazon and buy the VIOFO A229 Plus front + rear for $189. Add a 128 GB microsd. I've made it easy. Don't bother researching or looking up other models. That's the one to get. I ha

Random driving story

I've purchased and installed two dashcams in the last couple of months for our vehicles. Viofo A229 Plus with front & rear camera, 256Gb MicroSD card (make sure it's Class 10 or better), and if you have a powered rearview mirror a Y connector Dashcam Power Adapter. Super easy install and you should

Dash cam for Impreza Sedan

I got the VIOFO a229 pro from Amazon along with the hardwire kit and a super cheap circuit checker. Installation was pretty easy, the hard part was routing the rear cam wire. Including a high endurance micro sd I think was about 350 total. Install took me a couple hours because I really took my time

The importance of dash cams

Exactly this. That’s why I always say stick with known brands like VIOFO and VanTrue or Blackvue. My first dash Kim was a $40 pruveeo camera, and that thing would randomly record and not record video. And it died after nine months of use never cheat out on something this is important For a solo cam,

How am I meant to stick a dash cam in 100+ degree weather?

I have used my VIOFO and VanTrue cams in Arizona weather for the last 7 years. I always say stick with known brands like VIOFO and VanTrue. For a solo cam, I’d go with either the A119 Mini2 or the VanTrue E1. Both are compact and discrete though that the E1 is more compact. The A119 has the Starvis

Dashcam?

I have and I like the VIOFO A229 Plus Dash Cam Front and Rear, it's highly rated and has a good daytime/nighttime sensor switch. You can look through r/dashcams for further well-regarded dash cams, their pinned post has good info comparing models. In terms of looking seamless and hidden, it's all ju
