VIOFO - A129 Plus Duo IR

Go VIFO 129a plus duo - front and back for $169 - it has a mic but no interior cam. No subscription, just have to provide your own micro SD card

I would take a look at r/dashcam for advice, but VIOFO is a commonly recommended brand. I have a VIOFO A129 plus dual channel and like it a lot, but they have newer models to choose from.

I mean this in the general sense, I have the A129 Plus with rear, get whatever. Many dash cams are going to have similar video quality at same price point. What you want to look for is how it will mount, will it block vision, do you need app connectivity, does it have a parking mode. Features like that, whatever is important to you. It's great to have amazing camera quality, but I've always looked at dash cams as a way to just prove a crash wasn't at fault. I always say get one that uses adhesive to mount, since I've always had issues with suction cup ones. Then use something like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C49F8NVQ?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1 to mount it to. It makes it easier to remove and is safe for tint. Also make sure it has loop recording, for some reason it isn't standard on every dash cam? I had one with amazing quality but I found out a few weeks later that the SD card got full over a week ago, and needed to be cleared once a week.

I've not got a rear camera, but I'm more than happy with my Viofo A129 Plus. They've sponsored a few YouTube channels, so you can probably get a discount through one of their promo codes.

Yeah they're not cheap, but worth it in my opinion. I think they're also the only brand to use capacitors instead of batteries, which gives me some extra confidence that my car won't randomly catch fire on a hot day.

I just ordered this with a viofo a129 plus from them for my 23 premium. Hopefully I got the right adapter.

I've got the Viofo A129 Plus (front cam only). I've had it in three different cars now and haven't had an issue yet. Fits perfectly up behind the rearview mirror so it's not always in your face. The app leaves a little to be desired, but you get what you pay for. Video quality is great. [Sample footage from a wreck I witnessed.](https://v.redd.it/9wg37fw7au9a1)

Viofo 129 plus with hardwire kit

Viofo. They have options ranging from $100 - $500. I've had the A129 plus on mine and my wife's cars for 3.5 years with no issues.

Viofo brands are very reliable and one of the most common ones. I have the Viofo 129 because I figured 1440p was enough quality, and I wasn't wrong. The one above is 4k resolution. Easy install and even easier to tuck the wires. If you care enough though, their hardwiring is a seperate buy, but i heard most dash cams being hardwired in tend to always trickle battery power no matter what.

This is just straight up false. [Almost EVERYONE is Wasting Money on Dash Cams.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AnyhHl3_tE) Personally use a Viofo 119v3, which is 150ish. Superb dashcam, and if you want one with a rear cam too you can get the a129 plus for under 300.
