present one is over 7 years old so time for a new one. F A R T where do you start...
I am not tech savvy so something I can load/copy onto samsung phone easily would love the 2 camera setup but I already have 1 reverse camera for reversing, another wired into 'reverse mirror' so it is always on. prefer to stay well under $400. It will be hard wired in by a qualified sparkie.

Be careful, especially if you're one of the old fogies who love AM radio and your camera is designed for the aux socket.
Did this on a customers request once and the moment that camera was in the car, the AM radio band completely stopped working. Outside the car, worked perfectly. Back inside the car - no more AM radio. The aux plug thingo had some electronics inside it to filter out noise. |

I have two garmins. Cost around the $220 mark. One in each car been flawless.
Can use an app to get footage from it. I believe they can also be used connect wirelessly to create a front and rear camera set up.

I’ve got Blackvue dr750 2 channel in our cars (front and back) and they are awesome. Cost around the $600 mark though from memory

When the connector with in-built noise filtering electronics was cut off and hard wired, the resulting static noise made listening to the AM channels on the radio impossible. I resolved it by rewiring the connector back on, then plugging it into a female AUX socket with extension lead I could splice and then hardwire in. I used electrical tape to wrap the plug and socket so they would not come apart. ![]() |

simply to cover my butt
![]() The one Ive got saved me once but trying to get the sim out and then copy it when your not tech savvy was a headache.. senario... wet road, driver in front was texting or doing something in her lap, suddenly looks up and hits the brakes....no reason no other traffic. Yes technically I was in wrong but the dash cam saved me because she was not paying attention.

I've been considering getting a replacement too.
Have a look at some the dash cam video sites. A lot of videos show the brand name.... so you can see the video quality of the different brands. The Blackvue models seem to stand out for good quality. |

With minimum three inputs already, is it worth moving up to a heavy transport type system? Then you could add side views and in-cab. The latter possibly good to defend suggestions of inattention.
