Default Dash cam advice *paging VatorMan*

Looking for a high quality/dependable model that shoots front and rear.

I'll be using it mostly to record any potential shenanigans if needed for proof in court and to shoot portions of benefit cruises.

There's a TON of them on Amazon and I could use some recommendations.

I figured as much.
I cut off models below $150 for that reason.

Subscribed. I've been thinking about getting one, too. You could probably make a highlight reel every day driving around in Houston traffic.

If you don't care about front+rear and only front, I've been happy with the Rexing dash cam.

https://www.amazon.com/Rexing-Dashboard-Recorder-G-Sensor-Recording/dp/B00X528FNE/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1474927826&sr=1-1&keywords=rexing+dash+cam
And also they make a couple of front+back ones. This is the one I'd probably choose.

https://www.amazon.com/Rexing-S500-Dual-Lens-Dash/dp/B01G82PN8W/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1474927826&sr=1-3&keywords=rexing+dash+cam
No matter what you get, I'd suggest getting a hard-wire kit (look in the reviews) and of course you'll need a Class 6 SIMM (32 GB works great.) The two-camera model comes with a SIMM BTW, making it even a better deal.

There are a lot of dashcams better than mine on the market right now. Just make sure that you get one that has GPS and software that allows you to show what you want. IE- don't rat yourself out for speeding etc....

This one is arriving today. Will be interesting to see how it works, mounts etc.
Comes with a 128G card.
