Viofo 129 plus with hardwire kit
Viofo 2 channel(front and rear) in my cars. Been running for years with no issues. I believe the specific models are the A29 Pro. And a plus. Can be had for around $150-175. Set and forget. I’ve caught lots of crazy drivers to watch later too as a bonus!
Viofo and it isn't even close. Those things are engineered to be pretty much invincible in our climate. Get the A119 V3, or the dual cam version (front or back). As another poster said, don't even think about buying one that operates on batteries. Supercapacitor only - like all Viofo models.
old.reddit.com/r/dashcams is a good place to start, their sidebar / FAQ is good. It seems you need to spend ~~£150 on a good dash cam that can read number plates. I bought the dual viofo a129, seems like rlly good quality... Haven't had to use it yet, but on the things I do watch back ,quality is great. Seems like a common reccomendation to purchase.
Get a dual channel one like the Viofo a129 so you record the front and back view.
I did the viofo a129 dual camera hard wired. It was easy to install, took about an hour. I recommend. See my last post for a snip I caught last week with it. It also has a rear cam
