cacarineVIOFO is generally well regarded. Blackvue also makes some good ones. The a229 pro has arguably the best performance to price ratio
Installed a hardwire kit for VIOFO a229 pro. Fuses were 29 constant, 36 ignition
SkensisViofo is what I run, you basically want a camera with the Starvis2 sensor and ideally the 4k version.
StandardCarbonUnitViofo. Any with the Starvus 2 sensor. 4k if you want gucci.
Smites_YouMost important thing when it comes to dashcams is image quality, particularly at night. The fitcam sucks Get a viofo or some other high quality, true 4k hdr cam instead. You can get a mirror connector adapter for power.
54fightingI looked at the integrated dash cam for the Highlander. The reviews for the integrated dash cam weren’t great, particularly at the price point. I put a Viofo A229 Pro in the Highlander and am going to do the same in the Camry this weekend.
Top Dead center in the Highlander and intend to do the same in the Camry. It’s a small camera. No complaints from the Highlander driver and expect none from the Camry driver.
6Five_SSOn the r/Dashcam subreddit, you'll see VIOFO is a top rec, for good reason. A229 Pro in my car and now my wife's. They even have an employee browsing that subreddit commenting from their official account to answer questions.
9IXI use the VIOFO A229 Pro with the rear camera. I even have it hardwired so that parking mode is available
Adventurous-Coldif you download the viofo app, you turn on the wifi in the dashcam and connect your phone to that wifi network and then open the viofo app. you can then playback videos directly off the dashcam or download the video to your phone. it works pretty well for me, I just had to rtfm to figure out how to turn the wifi on the first time.
yeah I originally had 2.4ghz wifi selected on my a229 pro and it was really slow. switching it to 5ghz made it a lot faster, I can scrub though the video playback without much buffering which supprised me. It is still pretty slow to download a copy to my phone though.
