Dash cams?

[kittyjo]

Anybody Know of a good duel dash cam for the outside front and outside back of the truck?

Grdian just came out with a new setup that I’m thinking about getting called the Nova. Looks really good.

I went with the BlackVue DR590W-2CH.

I have a Viofo A129 Duo with the hardwire kit. I absolutely love this camera. It is pretty much "set it and forget it". The image quality both night and day is superb and I have had zero problems with it yet. I think it cost me about $250 for the camera and the hardwire kit; then I also bought a 128 GB memory card as well. I just saw this kicker deal on one online: https://www.walmart.com/ip/VIOFO-A1...MI2teipeOA5gIVJIVaBR3NdgEDEAQYBSABEgJ7gfD_BwE

Does it have a one piece for upfront and one for the back window?

Yes, there are separate front and rear cameras. The front camera has all the controls and the Micro SD card in it. The rear camera is standalone; you have to run a wire from the front camera to the rear camera. I can't recommend the Viofo A129 Duo enough. I have a Vantrue T2 in my other car; but the Viofo A129 is far superior to the Vantrue. I literally spent months researching cameras and reading reviews when I bought the Viofo. In my opinion, the Viofo is the best bang for the buck. Most cameras utilize the same chipsets and video detectors, so its really a matter of choosing one that you like the form factor of and that others have had success with. I know the Blackvue is popular; but it is also quite expensive. The Viofo A129 is identical in specifications, hardware, and looks to the Street Guardian (which is one of the highest quality cameras that you can purchase). In fact, I would bet that the Viofo and Street Guardian are manufactured in the same place in China and just labeled differently.

Been using BlackVue for years solid brand always top rated and doesn’t look stupid due to shape. Nice tight install abilities

Great use of the dash compartment for the mask holder!

I have the rexing v1p pro dual front/rear cam and it works great. Simple user-friendly interface. The 1 issue I have is during night hours my headlights reflect off the license plate of the vehicle in front of me which makes it not readable during video playback so I record audio along with video and if i have any issues I verbally recite the plate of the car....

I have the exact same setup. Great little dash cam.
Install was pretty tedious as the cabling has some girth to it, so pushing it through trim etc is not the easiest.
