Dashcams? I know nothing but need one. Please help!
Walmart has 2 from 11/14 to 11/16.

Cheap:

Not as Cheap:
https://www.walmart.com/ip/REDTIG...&sharedid=



Are they good/ What am I looking for?

Ideally I would like front and rear and to be able to stick them up in teh car myself using mounts that are included as opposed to getting them installed. My car also has a backup camera and I don't want to mess with that at all, so thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

Most reliable is Viofo A119 or A129. Not much different. Read reviews on Amazon.

I have this installed in my son's Mazda 3 hatcback. 2nd year now and zero issues.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074JT3...in_title_1

Bought it during $99 special last year. Had another brand before but at cold or hot temps, the sensor would freeze up. This one has been rock solid even in our hot summer (several days of 110 degrees summer). Only thing is the suction cup would come off during high heat but remedied it with 3M tape. Super easy to install..just run the wires behind the dashboard and behind the plastic cover on the front pillar. I have this plugged into the front usb port and it activates when car starts and shuts down when car is turned off. I've tested the footage on my latop (both day time and night videos) and no issues. The wide angle sensor captures adequate driving footage.

One thing I love is if sensor detects any impact, it automatically locks the recording for future use. I've had accidentals (going fast over road humps or sudden stops etc) and that feature kicked in. My son is a new driver and thank god, haven't had the need to look at any footage for insurance to this day. But it's super important to have if u have a 1) newer car 2) new driver.

If you want to see an excellent list of dash cams go to ProjectFarm's YouTube video.

You should really check out this video and also the projectfarm video from above if you want unbiased reviews of dashcams. These 2 channels are my go to for unsponsored and unbiased reviews.

Does there exist Dashcams that can be recharged with a solar panel?

I don't want to run a cord over my dash.

If you have a power rearview mirror, there are devices that allow you to tap into that power and power the dashcam with a very short wire. Google powertap and your vehicle.
