A229 Pro 1CH

VIOFO 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

Viofo is what I run, you basically want a camera with the Starvis2 sensor and ideally the 4k version.

Viofo. Any with the Starvus 2 sensor. 4k if you want gucci.

Most 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.

I 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.

On 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.

I use the VIOFO A229 Pro with the rear camera. I even have it hardwired so that parking mode is available

if 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. 

I added a dashcam. It is better quality video than the built-in one. Many dashcams are bad at parking mode because they tend to overheat without climate control on. 

Viofo A229 Pro + RTC300 Telephoto camera. Both of these are forward-facing for me. I chose the telephoto camera as my 2nd camera instead of the usual rear camera. Tesla already has rear facing camera(s). Power is from a cigarette lighter to USB adapter in center console. My car is a 2020 Model 3.
