Hello Dash Cam Enthusiasts! I’m alive and have been focused on dual channel cameras. I’m covering budget cameras between $100 and $200 first. Here’s my thoughts including the cameras I’ve purchased and those I’ve passed on.
Purchased for Testing: • Apeman C860: $90-100, popular brand, advanced Sony IMX335 sensors. • Crosstour DR900: Cheapest camera ($100) with Capacitors, good front/back 1080P and popular. • VAVA VA-VD002: 30 month warranty, seems good on sale for $120. Otherwise it uses batteries and for a normal price for $150, not sure if I would get it.
Passed: • Mini 0906: My previous pick in 2018. There's no one supporting it in North America. • Rexing V1P 3rd & Pro: Good video specs, capacitors, customer support. Just expensive at $180 or $150 on sale. The WiFi has terrible ratings. • Thinkware X700: The rear video quality is just awful. It’s a premium brand but I wouldn’t get it unless it’s under $120. • Z-EDGE S3 & Z3D: The offerings from Apeman, Crosstour, Aukey are better. Limited availability outside USA.
Coming Back My current picks: Aukey DR02D for its 24 month warranty and Viofo A129 DUO for exceptional all around performance. The A129 PRO I'm not planning on covering till later but it's the DUO with a better daytime camera but slightly worse at night.
I haven't found anything good under $100 that I can recommend.
Are there any $50-$200 front-back cameras that I should review with good customer support that I'm missing?
