SAPHPLUS Neutral Newbie April 3, 2017 Share April 3, 2017 This is such a long post... so to make it short , first time buying a car and looking for a very good brand of video dash cam that allows good recording be it day or night. Thank you. No budget, but looking for China branded premium dash cam. Any brand to recommend? I saw VIOFO but anything else? ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kb27 Supersonic April 3, 2017 Share April 3, 2017 Anyone used this before? My car cam died. Just from googling. Viofo https://dashboardcamerareviews.com/viofo-a119s/ I just ordered the A118, a lower version of A119. From gearbest US$40. I like that it's using capacitor instead of battery. The battery always seem to die fast with my other cameras. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinobii Hypersonic April 3, 2017 Share April 3, 2017 Hi, I think my car cam is dying, the screen shows those lines and it's not recording I tried unplugging the wires and putting back but still not working Any one has any recommendations? Looking for something not too expensive Btw, can I just replace the front cam without replacing both the front and back cam together? Thanks for helping 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is ur current camera 2 Channel or 1 Channel? If two Channel, then have to replace both. If one Channel, replace the faulty one. Can try inserting a brand new microSD card? Maybe its the card not working, not the camera. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure which LR u getting but the second camera will not fit if your LR comes with rain and light sensor fitted with the rearview mirror. The first one, I am not a fan of suction cup mount as it will fail after some time under our hot sun. So both out for me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAPHPLUS Neutral Newbie April 7, 2017 Share April 7, 2017 (edited) Not sure which LR u getting but the second camera will not fit if your LR comes with rain and light sensor fitted with the rearview mirror. The first one, I am not a fan of suction cup mount as it will fail after some time under our hot sun. So both out for me. I am getting the LandRover 2008 Freelander 2. So does this mount in front or not for the 2nd camera? Edited April 7, 2017 by SAPHPLUS ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
