"If you can spend money get a Viofo and enjoy high quality videos ... So practically I have 8mp IMX678 sensor on front camera and 5mp IMX675 sensor on back camera which is all other brands put on front cameras (Rove, Xiaomi etc.) even it is Starvis 2 new sensor it ’s still a 5mp. So back camera performance on Viofo is similar to top brands new dashcams front camera ... Top of the line sensor with 8mp and Stravis IMX 678 sensor - image quality is perfect. ... because I want not just dash cam for the sake of having dash cam, but also best image quality therefore I spend more. ... For now I ’m happy with video quality"

"PLEASE don’t remind me of the struggle getting that damn wire through the rubber boot!"
"I did opt for the front 4k/rear 1080p version, so I did have to run the wire for the rear cam which is a hassle."
"I couldn't get my cable to fit through that gasket from the body to the hatch ... The loop of wire is annoying."

"not worth it for the sheer size of the Foodi. It's a beast and very heavy. ... Yeah this is the same reason I don't really use my Foodi."
"Was bulk and weight that chased me away from self inflators years ago. ... I find the selfinflating foam so comfortable, more so than than air mats, but it's 790 grams, very bulky and just 3.8r. Can't justify it."
"that thing is so bulky and sits in the cabinet below the counter, I want to keep keep one on the counter…."
davekva 1.0I installed this Vantru system in two of our cars, including the Gladiator. I really like it. I still need to mount the rear facing camera. I have a soft top and a hard top, so I can't just mount it on the hard top glass. I think I have figured out a way to mount the rear facing camera to the middle headrest post in the back seat. I'm gonna install it this weekend. Whatever you buy, make sure you also get a compatible hardwire kit (otherwise it won't record unless the truck is running), and a quality 256 gb memory card.

EddieRyanDC 1.0I have the **A229 Pro**. It is an excellent camera. I have the 2 camera version (front and rear). Another model that is also good is the **Vantrue S1 Pro Dual**. It is considerably cheaper, but the front camera is just as good. The rear camera is one step down in resolution - but it is probably good enough unless you want to read the license plates of cars going by. If you are in the US, they both happen to have big discounts today for the Cyber Monday sale on Amazon. I recommend you get a 2 camera setup. Getting rear-ended is the most common collision. Especially in winter. The negative in getting a rear camera is that you then have to run the wire from the front unit to the rear. It is very doable; you will just need to get a little plastic tool to pry up the interior panels so you can hide the wire. There a lots of YouTube videos showing how to do it. It will just be time consuming if this is your first time. (Important tip: Never run a wire *in front of an airbag* \- always behind.) Another thing to work out in advance is where the cam is going to get power. The options are different for different cars. See if there are videos that show how to do this on your specific model of car. The biggest decision here is choosing between a power source that cuts off when the engine is turned off, versus one that is on all the time.

toobusyreadingcomics 1.0Vantrue S1 Pro Dual 1440P Dash Cam Front and Rear w Starvis 2 sensor. It’s been a great camera. Get the polarized lens cover, the Vantrue fuse power, Samsung industrial SD card and make sure to run the cables behind the airbags.
Wacky_X 1.0VanTrue S1 Pro Dual. Cables routed and completely hidden from the 12V outlet up to the front and rear cameras
HesletQuillan 0.6Vantrue has these too, but I am very skeptical. You say they actually work?
Vantrue S1Pro or, what I have now, the N5. No drilling. TBH, I've never encountered a dashcam that required drilling for a rear cam.
joc127 0.6I have the Vantrue sonnet s1 pro. Connected to the cigarette lighter in the trunk
ntn85 0.6Vantrue S1 and S1pro on both Hyundai. Running it with FitDVR system. No parking mode but everything is powered by the dimming mirror connector. Recording start stop with car.
2gigch1 0.2It’s just a standard hi-def VanTrue with the cigarette lighter plug that I keep in a small bag in my backpack. Takes about 15 seconds to stick the suction cup on the windshield and plug it in. Another tip is as you are driving around and someone looks like they might be silly: read the license plate out loud. Sometimes, especially at night, the camera won’t pick up the plate so reading it out loud will capture the information. 99% of the time it isn’t needed but the one time you do need it, ya got it. With big trucks, if you can, read the DOT number off the side of the truck. You can actually look that number up on the Department of Transportation website and get business information and phone numbers. On more than one occasion I have read that number, used Siri to look up the information, get the phone number, call the business and complain to the manager (including telling them I have dash camera footage) within a few minutes. On two occasions I’ve even seen drivers then answer their phone, listen for a moment then look back at me with a wide stare. Very satisfying.
AbundantGardening 0.2Love the vantrue s1 pro. It’s about $150, but it’s the best at clarity and has been tested by several online reviewers.
