I've been looking for a decent dashcam for months and it's so hard because they all are either complete shit, can't show a license plate, or have security vulnerabilities.
How hard is it to make a battery powered camera that records to an sdcard, doesn't drain the cae battery when off, and doesn't suck?
viofo a119. my car stays off for like 6 weeks at a time and i have yet to come back to a dead battery. records to sd card, video quality is above average, and it has the option to use gps as well. project farm rated it #1 in his dashcam testing video
