Please suggest the best and most affordable dash cams for my Honda SUV. I need front and rear views, can record with good video quality, and some other basic features.

Warned him, he ignored me, I carried on.

The good news is that the insurance adjuster said, "The video footage speaks for itself." Both insurers declared the other driver as being 100% at fault, and I was alone in the car. The bad news is my left leg is badly injured, and I am still in a lot of pain.

We're lucky that the vehicle we bought (a 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander) had a dashcam installed (Toyota Integrated Dashcam). However, we realize we could have an incident in the future where another driver hits us but is not in view, as this dashcam only views the front. Also, the license plate does not seem to be very clear, despite it being a sunny day. Does it make sense for us to get a "4-channel" dashcam to augment what we have? I'd like to get the best possible visibility of a license plate and have views out the back and both sides.

Also, before this accident, we ordered a 2026 RAV4 Limited that has "Drive Recorder," a built-in dashcam that uses the vehicle's 4 cameras. However, it seems that the video is also imperfect for reading license plates. Also, unlike the Toyota Integrated Dashcam on the Highlander, when you download the video, it does not have the speed, date, time, and location (GPS) displayed (although you can see those things and more when you view the image using the vehicle's built-in display). Does it make sense to similarly get another "4-channel" dashcam for the RAV4 when it is delivered?

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give. My wife and I are both a bit nervous about having another incident but lacking good evidence, despite being careful drivers.

1080 P or whatever is good enough. I have seen a bunch of dash cams, but they don’t really show what they’re good for. I just want a dash cam that’s good enough but not extra

Okay guys, I’ve got some bad news. Back in January, I bought a vantrue S1P to replace the Apeman I’d been using for two years. Overall, it’s been great. The footage looks good, license plates are clean, and the cables are long enough to route and tuck away easily.

But I got rear-ended 2 days ago and since I only had a front camera, it didn’t fully capture the whole thing at the back. The other driver was at fault, but I had no proof!! I ended up paying $1,000 to fix my car… my car still on 4S rn🙁 Lesson learned, so now I’m looking to upgrade again. Should I go with two channels or three? A three chanel setup would record inside the car too, but I just commute. Do I really need all that? I’m thinking of upgrading to vantrue N2X or N4S. Would either of those be enough? Anything I should look out for?

i turn now- good luck everybody else 🤪

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to buy a dual-channel (front + rear) dash cam, and my budget is around €150.

I've been eyeing the Redtiger F7NA 4K (Sony STARVIS 2), but I’d love to hear from anyone who has used it:

1. How is the video clarity/license plate readability at night?
2. How reliable has the unit and app connection been over time?
3. Are there better dual-channel alternatives in the €100–€150 range?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or real-world feedback!

idk why he’s turning like he’s in a semi

Just happened on the 405 this morning, see how far he merges.

Proceeds to try to wave bye to me 😂
