Car camera recommendation

In my experience, the Viofo A229 Plus Duo has proven to be the most dependable dashcam to date in my testing over the past 12 months. Even after lengthy journeys in the sun, the supercapacitor, Sony STARVIS sensors, and dual-channel (2K front + 1080p rear) setup prevent overheating.

I have the viofo 119. But i think the higher end models not easily found on aliexpress.

cos i searched a bit before deciding on 70mai.

anyway with the ease of use of wifi access, i'm willing to accept the more easily spoilt battery instead of capacitor.

Just use a front 4k cam for the rear windscreen lah.... I do that (without screen compact type).

hi people, for those with a 4G connectivity for their dashcam, may I know if any of those contract free 4g plan sim cards would suffice? or need those data only (without talk time plans) sim cards?

how much data does the dashcam use? cos i have a 1GB data only sim from starhub that's FOC for my home internet which i'm currently using on an old ipad. if 1GB is sufficient then i won't subscribe to a new plan just for the dashcam liao.

thanks for sharing your experiences and advice.

For dashcam, 1 GB should be more than enough unless it is uploaded to cloud.
