AlfAlphard Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 (edited) Hi All. Looking at getting a front and rear dash cam fitted. Just wondering if anyone has fitted one, if so what was the quality of the picture like. Would you recommend it ? They seem to vary in price. Just wondering if any of the cheaper ones are any good. Would be grateful for any recommendations and advice. Many thanks in advance.

Tonyatco Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 I have a Nextbase duo HD fitted to mine originally had it fitted to my Skoda, when need to use data for an incident the quality was excellent so now fitted to my Alphard, have reviewed the data to see if was just as good found no problem with the recording, can be purchased from Halfords, can be found online as well, mine was somewhere in the region of £200+, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tylersm90 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 I just use a free app (Dashcam) on my iPhone. Front only. Picture quality ok records in 3 minute chunks and you can allocate as much or little storage as you feel appropriate before it starts to over write previous recordings You can protect video chunks so you can keep them if required it also warns you if you are going over the speed limit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezufo Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 I use a Garmin DC56 on the front and a Garmin DC46 at the rear, they communicate via wi-fi, have voice control for taking a pic or recording a video, I wired them via a small switch fitted in the front dome light so that they can be switched on when in a public car park, footage has been used by the police for a red light jumper so good quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Hi I don't have a rear dash cam but for the front I use a Mobius it was originally designed for use on a drone , it has great quality and costs around £50 .And instead of hard wiring I run it off a small charger( last or over 8 hours be fore needing recharging) I use a small square of Velcro and fix it to the inside of the passenger sun visor , saves wires dangling down. Maybe not what you may want but hopefully may be useful to others who want a simple fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterS Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 I have installed several nextbase dashcams and they are the best to be honest. The cables are long enough and you can jack into the drivers side fuse box for power. then run the cables along the trims to the boot.

arthurj Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I have the Viofo A129 Duo wired in permanently using their wiring kit add-on and a couple of fuse taps. It works great, the only problem is the USB cable to the rear cam is quite thick so it takes some effort to squeeze behind the trim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vellfire1 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) Have the Blackvue twin camera. Faultless for 4 years and you can use it with its own WiFi to monitor the cameras from your phone while inside the home. Has internet remote viewing also and provides cloud uploads of any incident so it is safely away. Not the cheapest but quality of cameras and workings are v good, it's reliable.. Also works while the engines off if you want for overnight recordings from its motion sensors.. Will let you know if it's triggered via the app... Cheers..
