I really appreciate any help you can provide.

I have this one

I bought the one Mars recommends.

It is very useful,

I chose Rove, mainly because their tech support is U.S. based (Chicago), they speak English, and respond promptly.

I second Rove.

Look for their ‘flash’ sales on Amazon if you choose them.

Not to hi jack this thread but plug and play recommendations would be awesome.

This guy does a lot of reviews on dash cams and radar detectors and seems to stay on top of the latest offerings.

I caught one of those flash sales that cookster spoke of, and bought Rove’s R2-4K Dual camera. Seems pretty good to me.

This is the one I am using

I’ve been using this one for several years. They have a USB power cord where it stays on all the time.

Front and rear cams

BlackBoxMyCar has good choices, including the 24 hour power you’re asking for. And Vortex Radar YouTube has great info and tests.

Any camera that doesn’t use Starvis 2 sensors isn’t the best (unless something better came out in the past few months).

This place has harnesses for dash cams. Hope it helps.

I got a BlackVue DR 970X - 2CH for my new2500 HD. I got it from Blackboxmycar. They rated the Viofo slightly higher but it was larger with a screen and I did not want that.
Haven’t installed yet as I’m trying to find the proper attachment points in the fuse box.
Don’t really want to drive it until I get the camera set up because it’s insane out there!

I bought the Viofo A229 Pro from Amazon.

I really wanted a true 4-channel, but the technology with the resolution is not there yet.

Yeah, if you really want 4k you need a separate real 4k camera for every view.

Maybe the next gen or two will up the back camera quality.

Yep, also bought the A229 Pro w/rear camera. Been pretty happy with this setup.

A little off subject but I have a prediction.
My new truck has cameras all around. My boss's wife's Escalade has cameras all over.
In a year or 2 I think GM will make where the Escalade cameras record. Maybe a year after that the Denali Yukons and Pickups. then the SLT level pickups will follow....
Can't be that hard.

Tesla does that now. The owner's manual for my LYRIQ references that feature, but I don't have it in mine; there are seven trim levels for this vehicle and I have the lowest level.

I ordered the Rove last night.
I haven't been in an accident in 40 years, I know soon as I install it I'll get in a crash!
Always the optimist.

As mentioned, the Blackboxmycar site is your friend. Super fast shipping and they have all the top brands. I've used them for years. My go to cameras have either been Viofo, Thinkware or Blackvue. I currently have a Viofo unit with the Starvis 2 sensor. Very good image quality.
