I'm in the market for a dash cam, I don't want to cheap out on some poor model that you find hasn't recorded when you need it, or one that has the video quality of a potato. Amazon reviews seem all over the place; how can so many models have 8-10% of folks call something garbage and 15% of folks call something 5 stars - with many simply being the anonymous "amazon user"...

To be fair, I think most are pretty good these days.

That said, I've used two.

DOD LS360W which I rate as very good ( albeit a few years old now )

And slightly less old a Dexors X7.

Although video quality on the Dexors can be good...overall I would not recommend it. Too many negatives vs positives.

What I find with any of them though, regardless of an internal battery which may allow some recording after power off...this seems to go to shit after a short period so if that aspect matters....no idea which is best.

Both have decent daytime vision and nighttime. DOD handles transitions and bright sunlight better though. I use the Dexors in my van windscreen and the DOD in my Granada, mounted centrally inside the car.

Any recent youtube in car videos of mine will be the DOD. It has an external GPS aerial, although the lead is very short so doesnt reach a window for a good signal. If mounted to a windscreen it would be fine though.

9.85 @ 145mph
202mph standing mile
speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will

A clip I found of mine...TBH youtube seems to make it worse quality than it really is.

Dexors X7 scoping out a local hillclimb in my van.

Again Dexors

DOD in car, other cameras I tried really struggled in this position, DOD worked well hence I kept it there.

DOD at night shortly after I just bought it, 4 years ago !
