[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 4051891, member: 1132"] I did a ton of research before I bought this one: [URL unfurl="true"]https://a.co/d/18KTxxM[/URL] What I like about it is that it’s virtually invisible from outside the vehicle. The forward camera mounts where nothing obstructs the wide angle view. It doesn’t interfere with the sun visors or my window shade. That’s important because when hardwired or powered with an always active lighter port, it doubles as a parking monitor. If it senses an impact it will automatically record and lock the video file. The angle is wide enough that whatever you can see through the windshield is what’s recording. Front and rear cover 320 degrees total. It also locks automatically and preserves the previous two minutes of footage when it senses an impact while driving. You can adjust the sensitivity, but even on the least sensitive setting locks when I hit a bad pothole or bridge expansion joint. The recording loops automatically when the sd card is full, but it’s nice that it won’t overwrite locked files. I was able to modify the mount for the rear facing camera so I could mount it above the 3rd brake light on my truck. I already have a backup camera on the tailgate for backing up and hooking up my trailer, so mounting it above the cab allows it to record not just what’s behind me, but what’s in my blind spots as well. If you don’t have a backup camera or yours doesn’t have guidance lines, this one has that capability. You can use the mirror/monitor several ways.
