I have Viofo a119 Mini 2, it was the number one recommended item for budget cameras on the dashcams subreddit. It's great so far, captures plates well and easy to set up

I have had a VIOFO Dash Cam A119 Mini 2 for over 3 years now still going hasn't skipped a beat. It mounts to the windshield and comes with clear plastic film to stick it to.

Go with the Viofo A119 Mini2. [It’s $85 right now and a perfect beginner cam. ](https://www.reddit.com/r/pcpartsales/comments/1p4jmki/misc_viofo_dash_cam_a119_mini_2_starvis_2_sensor/) Don’t waste your money on anything cheaper. I had a cheap $40 cam to start and after months of use I realized it did not save half of the videos. Never again.

I wish they sold rear cameras separately. I bought one of these last year and wish i got the dual front and back instead

I tried all three and ended up keeping the A119M Pro. It had the best video quality and blended in better to the windshield, which makes it less distracting.
