With coupon, $119. I have three, one in each of my cars. Touch screen, and some voice commands. Great customer service too. Previously owned Blackvue 750-2CH, always overheating. https://www.amazon.com/REDTIGER-Screen-Parking-Monitor-F7N/dp/B0C6YBHKJ5
Bro, I had a high end dash cam for 5 years with the same high endurance sd card and had no issues. Just recently upgraded to a newer model. Still no issues. Also, good dash cams will alert you if you have a failing sd card. I personally use BlackVue. They’re not cheap but worth every penny. Just upgraded from the 750x 2ch 1080p to the elite 9 2ch 4k front 2k rear. Get good sd cards and stay away from cheap amazon offers and you’ll be fine. Also, if you do this frequently, I recommend a body cam just in case you ever have a self defense incident. It will cover your ass. I personally just use a go pro with a chest strap. No self defense issues in 3 years of flex, but definitely caught some things on camera that people probably wouldn’t believe without the footage.
I wouldn't say "out of sight" for mine either but Blackvue(at least the older ones) have been relatively good for me. I have the 750x model but I plan to upgrade. 1080p sony camera, dual channel and a night mode. The app isn't great, and you may need to change the sim card to a name brand instead but it's almost lasted me 8 years, and 3 car upgrades. Went from 2016 WRX, to 2012 350, to finally ISF. Currently using add-a-fuse method for power. Simple as sticking your cameras on, plugging in power, and then figuring out which fuse is constant and accessories in the fuse box with lowest interference then tucking in the wires.
My DR750X has worked fine for over 5yrs and I live in Cairns, Queensland Australia which gets really hot. And I don’t know what you mean about limiting stuff behind a subscription. I don’t have a subscription and I went through my recording/SD card the other day with no issues or limitations
They're easy to install, follow any YouTube video and you'll get it right. I've had the blackvue 750x which I found to have low video quality and ability to capture license plates and details. My vantrue n4 pro blows it out the park in all those qualities and more. I would definitely look at video comparisons between multiple, would not cheap out on a dashcam but there is no need to spend outrageous amounts. I found vantrue to have very affordable and good line ups and recommend them.
BlackVue DR750X's parking mode delivers, consistent footage in parking lots, no hassle with extras.
