if it’s a 4K front camera, includes a rear camera, and installation, I’d say that might be a good deal, for Lexus, especially. I sell and install dash cams for a living, I prefer the thinkware U 3000, and U3000 pro. $550 and $580, respectively. Not including installation. SUV is about three hours at

Rather than supporting Amazon's evil ways and potentially getting a counterfeit product, I recommend supporting a smaller retailer that's going to offer you a decent price, actual support, and knowledgeable reviews. I usually order from https://www.blackboxmycar.com/ and have been very happy with th

Screen saver from Amazon is probably the cheapest and best accessory to protect that super soft infotainment screen. I had THINKWARE U3000 Pro front and rear Dashcam installed. Uses OBD II power connector so no fuse box taps and has one of the best parking modes to save battery drain.

Cams typically only record for a few moments after being unplugged, then save the file and shutdown. If you are concerned about an intruder unplugging the camera a Blackvue Box model may partially address that. Thinkware u3000 is indeed a great, reliable, option.

How good is the fitcamX? I like the appearance and simplicity. It taps into the mirror power? Will Hyundai grumble about that with warranty issues? I was considering a higher end Thinkware u3000 as the radar parking mode seems really good. Not as tidy from an install point of view though.

I've had some major issues with my VW including electrical issues, every time it's gone with a Fitcamx installed and never once they've mentioned anything. Honestly it depends what you want, the FitcamX is a mid quality dashcam for a top quality price. However for the tidiness and ease of install I'

Viofo A229 Pro seems to be the most recommended here. The A329S is newer, but more expensive. The sensor is the same, but it has USB-C external storage capability. The deals are better on the A229 Pro. Another one people swear by is the Thinkware U3000. It's very highly rated, but is only 2 channel,

Thinkware Q850, U1000, U3000 would be my recommendations for a good quality dashcam. There are other brands out there ive just had really good success with Thinkware, plus the app is easy to use. When you use a suction cup the window should be at room temperature. If the window is too cold the sucti

I have a BlackVue DR900X 2-CH which has the older Starvis 1 sensor. The latest DR970X 2-CH has the new sensor and is about $450. I also hear good things about the Thinkware U3000 ($550).

Thinkware U3000 front and rear with battery backup. Security, parking monitoring and recording is great.
