Dashcam help.

Hey guys, I am planning to buy a dashcam. I need some recommendation on which one to buy. Price is midrange. Something that is good for its price but not too expensive. Thanks.

Get the Blackvue DR500 (single cam) or DR550 (double cam).

Don't go cheap. You'll regret it. Most cheap cams break after being exposed to sunlight for some time.

EDIT: Someone in the FOR SALE section is selling his DR500.

You want this one. GPS and WiFi don't mean jack crap to me, but it would be nice to have. I've had it since September. Still works like a champ.

I can vouch for the Ojocam. I hardwired installed mine a couple of weeks back using a 12v to 5v converter tapped into the power mirror harness. Its tucked nicely behind the rearview mirror. Picture quality is fairly decent, and I have no complaints.
