Dash camera recommendations

I did a search... and only came up with 6 hits for "dash camera" on this forum?? That seems odd.

Sooooo.... people experienced with dash cameras, what is your recommendation? Wife wants ideas for gifts, and I mentioned a dash camera. We just have no idea which one to buy, or which features are important.

What would be nice, but not a deal breaker, is adding a rear camera - preferably wireless if they have those? I assume I could use it for backing up and hitching.

Thanks for all responses!
  • Kdlinks - purchased about three years ago - still works and provides a good video. Got it on Ebay but it's available on Amazon.
    At the time I purchased it, it was recommended by many on the full timers forum.
  • I use the one shown below, bought off amazon. You do need a micro SD card, and the dash cam itself is $70 with the SD card about $10. I used another brand dash cam that did not work for more than a year. The AUKEY that we have now has excellent video and night video, and loops to record 3 hours +, with writing files over itself unless you want to hit the save button or there is an accident and it saves automatically.

    We have 5 of these dash cams, one for each car and the RV. Yes, there are fancier units with rear view, but this version worked for us. There are cheaper versions, but that bit us as I've said.

    Thankfully we've never had an accident and needed it, but I've saved a few near misses that had the heart pumping.

    Search this on Amazon and check it out. Highly rated, good quality so far.
