Too late for you @BEZO760 for this time around but here is what I came up with for next time. If going with less than $150, I'd just get whatever the highest rated and purchased one from Amazon is. I went with a $150 limit and am pretty happy with this.

https://www.amazon.com/Vantrue-3840x...s%2C188&sr=1-3

Pretty heavily researched here and this is what I came up with for the other best dash cams out there right now if a single camera isn't what you are looking for:

This Vantrue X4 above is $150 with the $20 Amazon coupon and then another $30 off with EJJU6K7H code. It's only front facing but it's 4k. Might buy a second one and run 4k front and rear. It's for sure the best 4k one out there and for only $150, it's a no brainer.
If getting one with rear and front together then the Vantrue S1 or Vantrue N2 PRO is the way to go. S1 is rear window and N2Pro is rear inside. N2Pro still captures a lot out the rear but not as well as the separate unit style of the S1. S1 is capacitor style though so better in the heat. They also are only recording at 1080 (both front and rear at the same time) in 1080p. That N2 Pro for sure records better at night with it's infrared emitters inside the car though. That one is really aimed at Uber/Lyft drivers since it captures all the weird stuff in the car they could do as you drive.

I feel like a Vantrue camera salesman here but that brand really has it together and covers all bases with their different cameras they have. They even have a Wifi one but high quality being the most important feature, the X4 is my choice. Also high heat resistance design(crappy Florida weather) and the parking mode made the choice easy not to mention getting $50 off the original $200 price.
