Blackvue. Clear crisp video (even at night), was pretty straightforward to hardwire, convenient to download footage, parking mode with built in volt limiter (can use an exterior one too), cloud storage capability and rear cam fits even with my rear curtain closing for my LS. Used mine for over 7 years, have in multiple cars as it's the favorite of all I've used. Worth even if it's just the UHD ones.

I recently got a blackvue dr970x plus lte previously had a nextbase gw360 which I found useless

I like the constant recording, I changed after somebody hit my car whilst park, the next base turned on but took about 10 seconds before video. Fortunately it got the side of the car from the rear and a good shot of the guy inspecting the damage before he fucked off… From a test with the BV it would have got the car from the front when he entered the car park in its line of sight. Only thing I find bad is the cost of the sd cards in the uk, the 1/2tb is ~$100 whilst the 256gb is £190… I did try a Samsung pro endurance but it didn’t like it causing glitches. The other one I considered was the thinkware.

I went with a blackvue 970x lte. Had a nextbase fitted when I brought the car by the dealer, got it removed after I was hit in a car park and the footage started about 8 seconds after impact… just getting the footage off was annoying.

Same. Had mine installed when I did ppf, tints, ceramic. Specific model I'd recommend is the DR970X.

BlackVue 970. High quality and reliable.

Blackvue 970 hardwired with a Blendmount. Flawless execution but resolution is not as good as it should be.

If budget is of no concern, Blackview DR970 is the only choice.

Ur final buy is probably going to be dictated by price. I’ve been using BlackVue cameras for the past 10 years or so, and I upgrade every few years. Definitely one of the best (but not the cheapest) dashcam out there. My current one has front and rear cameras and built in LTE module for remote viewing, when the car is parked up and I’m not close buy, as well as remote event notifications. (DR970X)

Australian here: I have a BlackVue 970x Plus front and rear and BlackVue Bluetooth battery, professionally installed. Superior software for iPhone and Mac, 512MB sd card capacity, plus live view when cloud connected.
