VIOFO A229 Plus. 2K front + 1080p rear cam. Price is $189 currently on Amazon but I was able to grab it at $169 on sale. Has voice controls and you can easily download videos over WiFi on your phone. Low-profile design that sticks on the windshield, and if you live in a hot climate this dash cam super capacitor can withstand high temps. I’ve had it for 2 years and no issues. Comes with 18 month warranty but you can register your device to extend it to 24 months. Overall a reliable cam

[Viofo A229](https://amzn.to/46TI3w1) This is what I use for front and rear, keep it high in front windshield and forget it’s there till I ever need it

+1 for VIOFO. I have the a229 plus, which is “only” 1440p front and rear. I hardwired it with the hardwire kit (fuse taps) and have parking mode as well. All wires neatly tucked away. I am thinking about getting the a229 pro since the power cables I already ran will work with it, and I’d move the a229 plus to my girl’s car, but for now even the a229 plus is excellent. Highly recommend.

Viofo A229 Plus 2ch. Pretty good bang for the buck. Both front and rears are good quality during the day. Front is fine at night, rear struggles against headlights shining at it and how dirty the rear window is.

I've been using a Viofo A229 Plus with a dongar power adapter to tie it into the mirror power cable and I'm very happy with the cam and ease of installation with the adapter
