hogmaw Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Agreed, this is the newer version of the unit I have and mine has worked without any issue Amazon reviews suggest otherwise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilp9876 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Thread resurrection... I need a camera in the car as the wife has just been involved in a scam "non accident" which will cost me dear. The last reviews were a year ago, has anything better come out or reviews changed in that time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Im running the Thinkware F770 2 Channel, so front and rear. Easy to set up, can't notice it that much and the app works pretty well which makes things a lot easier. http://www.thinkware.com/Products/Dashcam/F770 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 The most expensive part of a dash cam, like any camera, is the lens. I went for an expensive GPS dash cam so you can actually read from the recordings the number plates of moving cars. Not many dash cams have lens focal clarity good enough to do that.

Frank Bullitt Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 BlackVue DR650GW (2CH IR) looks very good but expensive. Just had a look on Which? I have attached some screenshots for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a98pmalcolm Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 What I would ideally like is very similar to the KOONLUNG. But I wouldn't need the screen as I would use my head unit to view but would need a small switch box with controls for the cameras. But also for the to be very small and discreet.
