How many run dash cameras?

[Darryle]

After a weird experience yesterday on the way home from the cardiologist, I think it's time to get a dash camera system for front and rear.

Recommendations, what to do differently? Stand alone or piggyback off phone or tablet storage? Hardwire, rechargeable, cable connection or Bluetooth?

Thanks!

I really don't know much about them but I'm using the Rove R2-4k. It's not something I fiddle with. It's there and recording what's happening in the front of the vehicle.

It powers on and starts recording when I start the car and stops when I shut it off. There are other operating modes that allow you to set it up to turn on if it detects a large bump while its parked.

Wife got me one this fall as the idgits on the road stoned and stupid increase daily. Think it's a garmin made thing. Has mostly recorded snow as it's not in the best position for winter driving. Thinking of one that can do aft picture as well.

I am considering the Rove R3 since it has front and rear cameras. I will do some more research.

The prob with dash camera for me is when they record my verbal opinions of someone's driving.

Ditto….and guilty as charged, your honor.

I have a Garman for the car, and also considering it for my boat. There's a lot of idiots on the water to.

Been running Garmin in trucks for about 10 years, upgraded 5 years ago, time again. I just move the old one to least driven vehicle. Go Pro on motorcycles.

I just got one of these for my new F-250. I was told it's the latest and greatest. So I had one installed. I haven't fiddled with it much yet, but I'm impressed. It has both front and rear cameras. It also has a motion sensor that turns it on even when the vehicle is parked.

I've had them in my daily driver and our Bus for 10+ years, never have legally needed them, but they are a cheap insurance policy in case things go wrong...............

btw, since most of them loop record, you can always provide just the loop of evidence you want to ..........
