Dash cam recs?

Looking for a Black Friday deal on a dash cam. Never had one. Anybody have one they like? Anything I should look for?

 

It all depends on two things: Your expectations & Budget. There are a lot of others out there, so do your research and buy the one you like the most.

I picked the Garmin Mini (they have the Mini 2 now), because it's very affordable, easy to install and had the options I wanted and none of the ones that I didn't!

 

Ive been looking at the Vantrue N4 when someone posted some super clear video of it on FB on their 4runner.

looks slick but the rear view mirror in my 2014 base model definitely doesn’t have a power source. It didn’t even come with intermittent wipers, damn Toyota could’ve given me that one, had to install it myself

 

Mine doesn't either, When i buy i'm going to have to hard wire so it can be on 24/7

 

I've had a Rexing V1 for a while now. No complaints!

 

You should check your headliner behind the sunglasses holder. I bet you'll find the powered rearview mirror connectors back there and with some reading / probing you could find your power source

 

i bought the one that fit my budget from Amazon, set to loop record 1 minute video clips i just leave it alone after that. paid for itself when a drunk driver ran a red light and hit me.

 

In a second gen?

 

Running the Viofo A129 Pro Duo in my truck, highly recommend.

 

Have a VanTrue Si front/rear that was very affordable, easy to install and works great. Also a best buy from Wirecutter.

 

Also running the Viofo 129 Pro Duo. Excellent video quality.
