Let’s talk Dash Cams

[ZeroDay]

I have a Wolfbox G900 Tri-Pro. It works very well, I have it hardwired into the fuse panel and it's left running on time lapse mode 24/7.

I have the Garmin 67 (front) and Garmin Mini 2 (rear) in my Mav. I am happy with recording quality but the phone app is not good. Difficult to download videos to my phone. I'm thinking of getting the Viofo 229.

I'm thinking of getting one in the future

I replaced my rearview mirror with a Wolfbox TriPro and have been very happy.

I forget the dash cam is there, but use the rear camera every drive. The 170 degree unobstructed view has been a gamer changer.

I have the Viofo A119 mini mounted on the windshield just to the right of the rear view mirror with the 64GB card. The cable runs under the headliner frame, down the right side pillar, behind the glove box and comes out behind the power plug (formerly cigarette lighter) where it is powered using the enclosed plug.

A couple things to kick this off..
I’m a senior (retired engineer / technologist) and I've been made aware of a disturbing trend.
A friend of mine in Dallas actually experienced this - He was involved in a fender bender that was not his fault (he in the right lane and the other guy coming out of a parking lot - turning right and directly into his RF wheel.). The twenty something claimed “it was Grandpa’s fault as he swerved into his path and had sped up”. This was not true as verified by an eye witness that actually stuck around.
The cop said that many accidents between seniors and youngers are being automatically blamed on the elder driver by the younger one!
The officer also said that if the Senior’s have a Dash Cam, and make that known, the “blame Grandpa” remarks are generally retracted.
So - it’s really incumbent on all of us, young or old, to bring our own witness with us.

While I currently have dash cams in my daily drivers, I‘m on the hunt for something better - 4k with GPS is a must have.

I’ve looked at the Wolfbox units and while not terribly expensive, I’d like to see and hear real life reviews from the community here and other forums - please respond with your reviews or links.

I have a basic camera I purchased on Amazon in the past and it was the difference between a police officer not knowing who was responsible for an accident and proof that someone t-boned me. Damage was 15

,000 and my 2022 Ford Maverick got repaired. They're well worth the money!
