Dash Cameras

[1923bob]

Just curious, how many people have them in their trucks and what type ? And any good stories ?

Always run dashcams since being in two hit and runs.

I don't have a traditional dashcam, but my Comma acts as one. The only thing I recorded was a guy passing me in the shoulder and then immediately getting pulled over for doing it.

I have a "dual channel" (front and rear camera) in my truck - VIOFO A329 4K 60FPS Dash Cam Front and Rear, with a VIOFO HK4 Hardwire Kit. I had a dash camera in my previous car that I sold when I moved, and that one paid for itself when it proved the other person was at fault (rather than being 50/50) and thus I got my deductible back. I highly recommend everyone have a dash camera.

I wish I had a dash camera in my first car way back when, where someone hit my car in a parking lot and drove off.

I am still running my old Viofo A129 Duo, been contemplating an upgrade to the 329.

Read signature below..... FitCamX and it works great.

FitCamX front and rear

FitcamX is a great option. Looks factory. Has a rear camera option. Powered from rear view mirror connector, so no wires to route unless you have rear cam. Phone app to view and download videos.

FitcamX front and rear. It's my first dashcam and think it's been great.

I had to look up the FitcamX because I haven't heard of it before. I think it's cool because it looks integrated, but I like the features of the VIOFO A329 and the corresponding hardwire kit better. I set up my dashcam on the passenger side up near the top of the windshield and rearview mirror, to where I almost can't see it when I'm driving. I also bought the VIOFO remote to easily toggle audio recording on and off.

Viofo A229 Pro - 2 channel (front and rear cams). Easy to install, easy to use, and interfaces easily to phone.
Given the way people
Have lost their minds in the roads , this is a must. “He said / she said” goes out the window when there’s video proof.

Turning audio off isn't really a concern for me. I'd rather have the audio, and no reason not to. I like the Fitcamx because it blends in and isn't obvious. Which is good, because then others don't suspect it. I've seen people change their behaviors when they see a dash cam in other vehicles. About the only thing Fitcamx doesn't have is the parking mode . but that's another feature that isn't a big deal for me.

Planning to get a fitcamx eventually.

IVE GOT ONE IN MY TRUCK AND ONE IN THE WIFES VEH . GOOD ADDED SENSE OF SECURITY AND PEACE OF MIND

Blackvue DR750X-2CH Plus - Synchronizes the front and back cameras and has very good day and night video quality.

A lot of people use the FitcamX. I have another vote for Viofo A229 Pro Duo. Great quality picture for both front and rear, easy to set up if you know how to tap a fuse and run wires along the headliner. Have one in both my truck and my wife's Traverse.

I use the Redtiger dashcam, front and rear. Has bump sensor and also the voltage cutoff if the truck sits too long.

We have one of these in my wife’s car. Works well and much less expensive.

I have the FitcamX on my truck front and rear. bought extended rear cam harness to put the rear cam inside my GFC camper's window and ran the wire out via firewall. With the connector hidden inside the housing, I only had to run the rear cam cable in the headliner and down the pillar.
I also have the Viofo on my BMW E90 M3 front and rear. I like Viofo has the option to add on a lens filter for anti-glare and the quality, but the downside is I had to run that wire down to the fusebox and when running rear cam wire at the same time it's a royal PITA to hide the rear cam wire AND the power cable on the same side.

I don't waste my time with parking mode. im not draining my battery and overheating my unit.

I have a BlackVue front and rear camera system. I also have the optional polarizing filter, which removes windshield glare and reflections, for a cleaner video.

It saved me once. I was driving to work and was side-swiped by a speeding driver who lost control of his vehicle. He told the police I changed lanes into him. The video proved otherwise, and I was found 0% responsible. Michigan assigns a percentage of driver responsibility, and a dashcam is a must in my opinion.
