I didn't want to pass on the right but the guy's speed dropped below 60 in a 65.

When going over final options, the local Subaru dealership tried to add a Witness TR-S dashcam package for over $1,200.

We checked the specs using AI and found out the Witness TR-S is a rebranded Gnet G-on2. It’s an entry-level unit—a B-tier brand in Korea compared to Thinkware—that retails online for around $250.

That leaves roughly $1,000 in markup for installation.

I got to play around with the app in one of their demo cars, and it doesn't compare to a Thinkware system. Connection drops, clunky UI, and subpar software overall.

Has anyone else seen dealerships pushing these rebranded units with huge markups?

The left lane is left turn only. The right lane is straight and right. Bad behavior by the truck probably confused the driver of the white car into thinking they could just drive straight into me.

I upgraded to a dash cam with live view and parking mode alerts last month, mostly because my old camera only saved footage to the SD card after the fact. Before buying it I had asked around about whether remote monitoring was actually useful or just another app gimmick, and now I finally had a situation where it mattered. Yesterday I left my car at an airport valet lot and got an impact or motion alert while I was already at the gate. When I opened the live view, the car was being moved much more aggressively than I was comfortable with. For anyone using a dash cam with live view remote monitoring, how would you handle this? Do you call the garage manager immediately while you still have the footage fresh, or wait until you can inspect the car in person and avoid escalating too early?

I currently have an A129 from 2019 and I think it's time for an upgrade. It's been 7 years, and I want a cam that I'll be happy with 5 years in the future. My two most important features I desire is a good quality front camera and fast Wifi transfers. My current A129 can take 15 minutes to download a video, which is extremely slow.

The A149 Pro Duo is the newer model, and offers a 4k front camera and 1080p back. I don't get 60fps, but HDR isn't available at 60fps anyway, and I drive to work at 5am when it is nighttime, so visibility at night is important.

Given that both options offer a 4k front camera (which is the most important), is it worth the extra $124 to get a higher quality rear camera? Both offer Wi-fi 6, which offers very fast download speeds.

I am not planning to hardwire it or use parking mode.

Is there any feature that I missed out on? It seems like the A149 Pro Duo is the better option given the savings. I still get 4k and fast transfer speeds, although the rear camera is slightly lower quality. I'm not sure is 60fps is worth the extra money

What would you buy given these 2 options?

Edit: what about the T330? I just learned about this, it's a new model without a screen and is $360, is this model worth considering?

Edit 2: I am now strongly considering the A229 Pro given the 4k front + 2k rear at $260

I recently purchased my first dash cam - a XYGCACO 4Channel 360 camera, and I would like to be able to keep the camera powered if I ever stop to run errands or other things.

I've looked at other posts on here and don't understand a thing being said. From the research I have done, I don't think I want to hard wire anything and want something portable that I can recharge. I'm hoping to find something that can last at least 24 hours before needing to recharge and something that doesn't cost $200+.

I saw another post about someone buying something at Costco that could do the trick (I'm a member and can get something if I know what I'm looking for). Currently, I plug it into the 12V outlet only while driving but have no way of using the motion sensor when my vehicle's off. Any helps appreciated.

TL:DR rookie dash cam owner who islooking for a battery to keep the dash cam powered and able to activate the motion sensor. Talk to me like I'm 8 or show me products. Thanks!

Hello,

I have a problem with my X800, it's connected with the 4g hardwire kit and when i start my car it switched on and works perfect.

When i switch off the engine it says it's entering sentinel mode and the screen turns off like it should.

When i go out to take my dog for a walk a few hours later i notice that my lcd screen is turned on and that the cam is recoding (no red circle light) When i enter the 4g module section using the app i see my live screen and that it's recording but when i want to take a picture it says " all functions available when the engine is turned off.

Since it enters sentinal mode when exiting the car i'm assuming it's correctly connected.

please help me out on this because i can't figure it out.

A coworker got backed into in a parking lot and the part that stressed everyone out was not the damage, it was figuring out which dash cam file actually mattered while the car was still running. I always assumed pressing the lock button or trusting the event folder would be enough, but now I am less sure about the practical steps in the moment. After a small hit, do you power the camera off, pull the card, lock the clip, copy the whole folder, or save a few minutes before and after just in case? I am trying to avoid learning the file-management part while already dealing with insurance.

I just want something for when i'm driving thats rechargeable. i can recharge at my desk at work, or at home, i park in a garage at both and they have cameras at work. I've tried searching, but cannot find anything. does anyone have have a recommendation? (edited for spelling)

I have the Redtiger F77 V2 Dual 4K Dash Cam installed and want to add remote/cloud access capabilities. Is there a compatible 4G LTE hardware kit or module available for this specific model that allows for Cloud Remote Monitoring, similar to the 70mai 4G kit?

Just picked up two 70mai A800SE dashcams — one for my RAV4 and one for my Lexus — and I'm about to install them both. Before I do, I want to make sure the 70mai app can handle two separate cameras across two different vehicles.

Can you add multiple dashcams to a single account and switch between them easily? Or do you need two separate phones/accounts to manage them independently?

Any insight from those who've set this up would be great. Thanks in advance!

I know this is a bit out of left field, but I'm looking for someone who is familiar with the 3rd Eye truck camera system ( https://www.3rdeyecam.com/ ), particularly with production of forensic evidence for a legal case. Hit me up if you've worked with one before.

I want a dash cam for my daily commute, but I really do not want another little box hanging off the windshield with a cable dangling down the trim. The wolfbox mirror-style setup is one reason I keep looking at mirror cams, since it seems cleaner in the cabin, but I am worried about daytime glare, night brightness, and what months of parked-car heat will do to the screen. I care more about something I can forget about than a mirror full of features. Would you run a mirror cam every day, or hide a basic wedge cam behind the mirror and avoid the screen altogether?

My wrangler spare tire blocks enough of the rear window that the stock mirror has always felt half useless, so I tried a mirror dash cam thinking it would clean up the view. The rear camera helps, but the mirror screen is picking up daytime glare and at certain angles I see more of my own cabin than the traffic behind me. I am not sure if this is an install angle problem, a screen brightness problem, or just part of living with mirror cams. For people running these in Jeeps or SUVs with blocked rear glass, what fixed it for you?

I am looking at a wolfbox dashcam setup, and I am trying to be honest about what I actually need. I do not want a camera that turns into another subscription or app I have to manage, but I also do not want to find out after an accident that the card was full, corrupted, or overwrote the clip I needed. For people using dash cams daily, is a high endurance SD card plus occasional checks usually reliable enough, or do you have a routine for making sure the footage is actually there when it matters?

Rideshare starts soon, so the camera question has moved from nice-to-have to something worth thinking through before buying. Front, cabin, and rear coverage sounds useful for passenger liability, but recording three streams at once also sounds like it will chew through storage fast. Options like the wolfbox are on the shortlist, though memory card sizing and camera angles matter more than the model name right now. Would a high endurance 128GB card give enough loop buffer for an 8-hour shift, or is 256GB the safer choice if important footage should not be overwritten too quickly?

A coworker had a minor parking lot hit last week and the messy part was not the camera quality, it was figuring out which file mattered before normal loop recording buried it under a pile of boring commute clips. That got me thinking about the boring habits nobody talks about when people recommend a dash cam. After something happens, do you pull the card right away, lock the clip on the device, copy the whole folder, or just trust the event file? I am less worried about 4K specs now and more worried about doing the wrong thing in the first ten minutes.

I just installed my first dashcam after perusing this thread. I do feel a sense of security knowing I'll have a record if anything bad goes down while driving.

However, watching the first few minutes of video I realized that I've basically done the work of a private investigator on myself. I didn't install an interior camera, but there's still audio of every conversation in addition to the dash videos that show my every move including time stamps, GPS location, and speeds.

I'm a generally law-abiding citizen, but are there cases where someone's own dashcam video or audio are pulled and used against them in cases other than a traffic dispute?

Hello All

Looking into purchasing a dual facing dashcam (Viofo A329S) and was wondering is there a preferred installation method in an older vehicle like this (i.e, hardwiring to battery or obd)? Will not have an in cabin camera (if that matters).

Are there any accessories you would recommend for the installation in an older vehicle like this?

Thanks in advance for your time!

Saw the Ottocast dashcam and I’m kinda tempted. Being able to pull up clips right on the car’s screen sounds pretty handy, but I’m a little lost on the CarPlay requirement. I have a VW Tiguan with CarPlay, but I heard it needs factory-wired CarPlay to work. Is plugging my iPhone into the USB port and checking that CarPlay comes up enough to know it’ll work, or is there something else I need to check? Anyone here actually using one, especially in a VW? Would love to hear how it’s been before I spend the money.
