Cheap dashcams (not Ebay Chinese specials)

[Danith]

So i've currently got a cheap chinese dashcam thing, but it's very basic, the battery doesn't hold charge, it keeps flicking off and going back to Chinese and sometimes doesn't like reading the card. It's good for £20 odd or whatever but I would like something a bit more reliable and less cheapy chinese if you get me.

Sub £100 (even better around £50!) what's worth looking at?

Try looking up a119 on eBay, it's a newer version of mine the a118

Looks ok that but isnt that a linglong chinese jobby?

Nextbase ones any good?

There's already a dashcam thread which is pretty comprehensive, I'll try and find the link for you.

Look on techmoan I think it's called, gets a good review.

Mobius is probably you're best bet for under a ton.

Loads on amazon, might get this one as i'm fed up of having to take my current one out the car every time https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01F5C950I/?tag=cliospnet01-21

I've got 2 novatek a118s with no issues, had them for 2 years now and purchased from a UK seller for £50 each.

Is it worth getting a cam for the back too or bit overkill?

My head started hurting too much with all the options.
Ended up getting 2 Nextbase 312Gw's (mum wanted one too) with the hardwire kit (no messy wires and a magnetic release on this model) and go bag thing.
Get very good reviews and were 90 quid each (for the camera on it's own)
