"The CCA trio and the Vader Balanced are similarly tuned, but both are one of the best iems under 30 usd."
"I downgraded from the meet 2 to se since I was only using 1080p and am happy with my choice! ... If you’re planning on just doing 1080p I’d save the cash and go meet se."
"JLab go sport + FTW. ... I have the same sweaty ear issue and the beats fall out of my head. ... The jlab are cheap and even they stay in. (Because they hook over your ear)"

"the 8:7 aspect ratio and 5.3k. That gives me much more freedom when reframing shots."
"Nice crisp clear 4K especially if you keep your streams and upload them to YT later."

"if you decide to get the N5, pay for the Vantrue branded SD card. It’s certified to handle the speeds necessary to record 4 video streams at once. When I first got this dashcam, I tried several other high speed name brand cards (Samsung, SanDisk, etc), and they all had issues."
"Basically a set it up and leave it situation. Since our 12v plug ins are keyed to power we never have to touch it"
"I have these in 2 vehicles, and one has been installed for almost 3 years. No issues whatsoever."

Please consider increase your budget much would be better - 70mai and DDPAI are mostly recommended. If you park outdoor most of the time and expose to rain/sunlight, get DDPAI dashcam (Super Capacitors battery - More durable/last longer in hot climate in Malaysia - software good). Else, get 70Mai instead too as this is quite popular brand (Lithium battery - software much better). Below are Front & Rear dashcam you can consider (Lazada/Shopee), these does not come with installation (\~RM80-RM150) nor MicroSD card (High Endurance type, 32GB to 128GB \~ RM40 to RM75): \>> 70mai A400 (QHD 1440P Front, max 64GB) \~ RM339 \>> 70mai A500s (3K 1944P Front) \~ RM365 \>> DDPAI N2 (QHD 1440P Front) \~ RM309 \>> DDPAI Mola N3 Pro GPS (2.5K 1600P Front) \~ RM319 \>> DDPAI Z40 (3K 1944P Front) \~ RM379
Good for you. My situation was our car park outdoor - so I bought Z40 and Z50 .
DDPAI Z40. Yan ang gamit ko. May mga nag o offer ng dashcam installation service sa FB.
I've been using ddpai Z40 for 3 years. Works fine despite being under hot sun all these years cos of the supercapacitor battery. Footage isn't clear at night and I don't use parking mode. But just want to praise the battery technology used by ddpai
Ddpai z40 z50 is good. May rear cam narin. Clear yung kuha kahit sa gabi. May nabibili ding hardwire kit for 24hr sentry mode
4 years na DDPAI z40 namin goods pa naman kaya di pa maupgrade sa [DDPAI z60](https://s.lazada.com.ph/s.rICL7)
Yeah. Nakabilad lang. DDPAI Z40 and Z50. Nakasupercapacitor kasi compared dun sa iba na batteries. 3 years na sakin. Sulit buy heehee
here po [ddpai z40 dash cam](https://s.shopee.ph/30Yspt3Esz) mas pinili ko to kasi super capacitor yung battery nya, kahit babad sa init okay lang. sony imx din sensor ng camera nya 3k reso. can connect sa usb port, but may free cig port naman
Ddpai z40 yung sakin ok naman siya, madali lang din mag self install, madaming instructional videos sa youtube. Pwede din naman sa fb, maraming installer dun na may reviews, sila pa pupunta sa inyo.
When I bought my first dashcam, I made a few rookie mistakes, so here’s what I learned: Avoid models with regular batteries if you park in the sun. My first one literally puffed up after a few weeks of summer heat. I switched to one that uses a capacitor (mine’s a DDPAI Z40), and it’s been fine since. Dual-channel doesn’t always mean both cameras are useful some rear cams are practically potato quality. Check sample clips on YouTube before buying; I found DDPAI and 70mai videos most reliable for real-world clarity. Don’t underestimate the importance of an easy app. Being able to quickly grab a clip on your phone without taking the SD card out is underrated. And yeah, cable management matters hide the wires properly or it’ll bug you every day. I’m still new to this stuff, but after a few months I’d say: focus on reliability and heat resistance over fancy features. The peace of mind alone is worth it.
While I completely agree with your friend. Maybe consider the warranty as well? Someone posted last week na yung ddpai z40 niya lumubo after 1 year and 3 months (out of warranty). I myself have ddpai z50 and z40 with rear cams. Malinaw ang nababasa yung plate ng car sa harap kahit walang streetlights
