Hey all,
Looking for some advice on purchasing a dashcam setup for my 2018 GTI SE I recently purchased. I'm looking for some advice here because dashcam haven't quite taken off in the U.S. like they have in other parts of the world, so it's a bit hard to find decent recommendations or testing for particular models.
I know that for my setup, I would want a clean look, most likely hardwired into the vehicle, and preferably close to, if not 360° coverage of the vehicle (I know this is achievable with multiple cams). From what I can tell, I should be searching for models that have decent resolution, fps, good picture quality in poor light conditions, and preferably motion activation/ a g-sensor to record incidents that occur when the car is off and parked (i.e. hit in run in a parking lot).
I don't need features like driving assistance, lane departure, blind spot alerts, any of that - I get most of that from my car anyhow.
I'm willing to shell out decent money for the cam(s), in my eyes it's a worthwhile investment to protect the car and possibly my wallet. Would like to keep it under about $450, but I'm willing to consider decent suggestions.
Let me know, or if there's already a decent thread or forum on this matter, feel free to point me there as well.
Thanks,
Butts
