+1 as we have 2 of the same dash cams and also recommend the high endurance memory card. Here's a link to a dash cam rating website as well: https://dashcamtalk.com/best-dash-cams-of-2019/ | |||

My old dashcam was a Street Guardian as it was a dashcamtalk.com recommended product. It served me well for 3 years and not that I needed it they have reportedly the best dash cam customer service. Speaking of dashcamtalk.com, their 2019 recommended list is here. The model you linked is not on their recommended list and frankly it's only $3 less than the recommended dual camera Viofo 129 I upgraded to last fall. The front only Viofo 129 is $20 less than the one you linked and is recommended.This message has been edited.

I have a Street Guardian and Viofo A119S. The Street Guardian records in .mov which requires an extra step on my android phone to edit. I don't like with one in my F350. The hood is too long and the truck is too high to get good license plates of passing cars. Both work great in my Focus ST. High endurance micro SD design for video is definitely recommended. | |||

Since this thread started I’ve also bought a Blackvue unit for my wife’s car. I like it a lot better than the Thinkware camera in my car. "Attack life, it's going to kill you anyway." Steve McQueen... | |||

For what it's worth I use a Garmin GPS (nuviCam LMTHD 6") that not only has a dash camera that constantly records but can also connect to a backup camera that comes on automatically when you go into reverse. Has a 6" display and will save a three minute video if you hit a bump (have a wreck) or push a button... 1.5 minutes before and the same after the event.

Some models will upload to the cloud close to real time but you have to have a live wifi connection. My truck has a wifi hotspot but it shuts off when I turn the truck off. I use a Verizon Myfy hotspot (little round battery powered hotspot) when i want to make sure it is uploading to the cloud. For 95% of my driving I record only to the flash card. Also uploading 4K video from 2 cameras would eat bandwidth pretty fast and could get expensive. | |||

I also purchased the direct wire kit and with the camera and the kit I am into this set up $88.00..... Also ordered the Transcend micro SD card recommended by you guys and it will be here Tuesday....Direct wire install took about 45 minutes...Cannot wait to give this “new to me” electronic device a try.....Thanks Again...Mark | |||

Best of luck. If you figure out how to set the clock please post again as I've never been able to get it right. | |||

We have a119's so that must be a new feature. Never did make sense to me that the clock wouldn't autoset given the fact it has GPS. | |||

Resurrecting this thread. For those with the Garmin DriveAssist 50. Will it automatically start recording when you turn your car on and start driving.This message has been edited.

My a119 gets it from GPS.... Make sure your firmware is updated when updates are available. Some have good features. | |||

I installed a Garmin 55 this week. So far it’s good. They have a new 56 but I’m not a big believer in the concept of newer is better.

I just upgraded my $50 amazon cam for a good one. I also opted for a battery (Cellink Neo) which is hardwired, this allows it to capture video while parked. The install was easy, the cameras are small, video quality good and I like the app. It was a bit pricey but I figure it may pay off if I’m ever hit. My deductible is $500 so I figure it could save me that some day. https://www.blackboxmycar.com/...o-2k-qhd-dash-camera | |||

Has anyone found one that has just the camera up on the window? I don't mind running a cable in the molding, but I'd like the electronics and power down below and I like keeping the camera unit as invisible as possible. | |||
