MOSascrotchNexar Beam has worked well for me.
soitiswritI use a Nexar Beam. It was cheap and easy to install myself
WolvTheHeroI’ve had a Nexar beam since 2020. I’ve replaced the sd card once, the usb power cable once. The suction cup with the gps component stopped working once between then and now and Nexar mailed me a replacement at no charge. Also I was slip seating from 2020 so I was taking it out every day which probably caused the issues with the cable and gps component (the wire got shorted from disconnecting every day).
A1_FaresNexar is actually a good one if you don’t use wireless CarPlay/AA. It maintains a WiFi connection with your phone and videos are stored there as well as the camera. Makes it easy to review the footage.
Diligent_Distance_82I have the Vantrue. Great cam hard to get the video off it. Nexar is the best. That will be the next if I ever need another.
