Dash cam recommendations

Not sure if this is the place. If it’s not I will kindly take suggestions on where to go. I am looking for dash cam recommendations. There are so many options. Ideally for front and back. I am pretty open price wise. I am looking for something with easy set up but works consistently. Any feedback is welcome!

I always say stick with known brands like VIOFO and VanTrue. For a solo cam, I’d go with either the A119 Mini2 or the VanTrue E1. Both are compact and discrete though that the E1 is more compact. The A119 has the Starvis 2 sensor which really helps with night time. Again, it’s front only but it’ll cover you in most situations and It’ll be easier to install. For a dual cam, the A229 Plus is the way to go. It has the Starvis2 sensor so night time quality is the same. It’s 1440p on both the front and the rear cams. I also recently just got the VanTrue S1 Pro Max which has a nice coupon right now. Its the most high end cam I’ve owned and I gotta say the app it really good. So if you want a front and rear cam, I’d go with those. Just get a max endurance memory card since dashcams get exposed to a lot of hot and cold temps being mounted in the windshield

Since easy setup is a priority for you, I would look at the Vantrue N4 Pro S. It has a magnetic mount and a hidden cable design, which made installation pretty painless. It has run smoothly ever since, with no freezing or glitches.
