When will you have reviews for Dash Cans? I just checked and couldn't see any through the app. Thanks!

Can you please recommend one that checks all boxes, especially with an 8k resolution?

The feature I like the most is a dashcam that’s invisible. I got a Garmin mini with no screen and it fits entirely in front of my rear view mirror so I never see it.

The camera you showed in this video is a Chortau. Is that a CR recommended brand?

What's the average life expectancy of those cameras? My old one lasted 4 years.

I’d add a sentry mode of some kind. Nothing I’d like better than to see the jerk that keyed my truck that was parked at the back of a parking lot away from everyone

Not to mention more cameras can put more strain on your alternator and battery.

my old car's electrical system can't handle even 2 cameras. i'll stick with one.
