Street Guardian - SGZC12SS PRO-SERIES

I've had Street Guardians running for 6 years now in two cars in Texas. AFAIK Viofo has a lot in common with the SG, though at a much lower price. Get the samsung endurance cards. Never had one break yet. Prior to that they would break every 6-12 months or so.

I bought a StreetGuardian specifically for this. Apparently, they were designed to withstand the heat of the Australian wild and mine lasted 6.5 years. I don't know if that's good or not because my previous, and first cam was a midrange BlackVue that died after less than 2 years. The StreetGuardian wasn't anything special though. It didn't have the most features or the highest resolution (QuadHD and 1080 for rear) but it was meant for simple reliability.

Street guardian are rather good. They're made to withstand higher heat inside cars.

I got a Street Guardian dash cam and had it installed (wires hidden behind trim and wired into the fuse box) for less than what an OEM Toyota dash cam cost. Plus it's much smaller than the Toyota dash cam and therefor is out of sight.

I have two cars and have Street Guardian cameras in both. They are fantastic and one camera is about 7 years old. You do have to replace the sd card yearly or every 15k miles, get one that’s dash cam rated, and make sure the camera POV is under the windshield wipers. The only problem I had is the power source dying but that was my fault.
