When they tell their insurance they had a green light but you got the video

Get one. It's peace of mind. I have a Viofo A229+ and it's fantastic.

Two red light runners receive a double dose of instant karma

Viofo A229. Comes with a rear cam too. I'm very happy with it after two Garmin Minis crapped out on me.

i commute on 280….dashcam reccomendations?

My fiance has a super long commute so she wanted a dashcam. I ended up getting a Viofo A229 Plus for her. I wanted something that had good video quality and also a rear camera. I installed everything myself. Between the instructions and YouTube videos it wasn't too bad. We've had to use it for one a

I have a Viofo A229, it's a few years old now but still works well enough. I recommend having a two channel system (front and rear cameras).

My first car

VIOFO seems to be top of the market right now. I have an A229+ and it was a breeze to install, works fabulously, and has caught lots of things.

get a dashcam or this could be you next

And get something that uses a (super-)capacitor as opposed to a battery - the former holds up to extended periods of high temps. This used to be a much bigger issue ~10 years ago, but it's still good to check and make sure Don't forget a high-endurance SD card. Not the run-of-the-mill cards As far a

Eyesight and backup cam as dash cameras

I remember someone saying how much of a legal logistical nightmare it would be to have built in cameras function as dash cams which made a lot of sense to me. So short answer no the programming wouldn't allow it and you can't really "hack" eyesight systems in a way that would allow this. I have viof

I got hit for the second time... at the same intersection

If you can, get one that uses a super capacitor - they do much better in terms of performing properly in high temps. I have a VIOFO a229 plus, because I wanted a rear camera. Previously had a front only VIOFO a129, which was good too. Get a decent sized memory card, and then try to get in the habit

Dash cam recommendations

I use a VIOFO A229 Plus. Got it off amazon during one of it's many sales. I've had it for 2 years now in the Orlando heat, worked flawlessly so far. It can record when the car is off as long as it's hooked up to a wire that is always powered. Many dashcams can do this. The trick is to know which wir
