Thinkware F50 This one falls in your budget of $50.00. I bought this one a few months ago but paid $85.00. Best one IMHO for the cost. I have it connected to the 12 volt plug in the glove compartment. |

the viofo a119 is twice your budget but its a great camera i have it in stalled in my frs, quality is great and on top of the usual loop recording theres many other capture features. It also has automatic crash detection and a gps to give you a speed overlay. For the money its definitely worth it and I'm thinking about getting one more facing the rear

I use this. Xiaoyi Yi Dash Cam. It has build in WIFI so that I can change all the settings in my phone. and download videos to my phone on the fly if it was needed. The video quality is not bad as well.

I have Yi's dash cam: https://www.amazon.com/YI-1080P60-Da...dp/B01C89GCHU/
It provides quality recordings, but it's a bit more visible from outside the car than other cams.

While not being $50 I would recommend the Mobius ActionCamera. I got the cam, install kit (ac plug and long cable), capacitor, and lens extender for $69 shipped from banggood. I literally only have the cable and a small lens visible for the camera. The quality is absolutely amazing and with multiple lens options you can chose what works best for the car. They also have a huge following with RC pilots that have seen the camera updated and upgraded often.

Also, the formatting requirements get annoying. In hindsight, I would have just bought another F50. |
