Dash Cams

Dony

I'm after a dash cam (front and rear) with a max budget of £100.

I called into a local company today who will fit it for £30 and he said he's fitted a lot of Orksey cams from Amazon and they seem to be good. Does anyone have one, or one within my budget that you can recommend.

I've heard good things about Yi dashcams but I don't have one myself,been using a Nextbase 512GW for a few years but that's out of your price range.

Yours is currently bang on budget at Amazon (reduced from £150 to £100).

I'll be fitting the cam to a Volvo V60 and there's a fairly big box of sensors behind the rear view mirror and I want it to be as discreet as possible. I'll have a look on the Volvo forums to see what they are using.

Friday's Gadget Show on C5 tested 3 dashcams, a Garmin, Nextbase and cheapest Orskey - they liked the £30 Orskey one they tried but said it was let down in the dark.
They (unsurprisingly) rated the £200 as best

The big question is what's your insurance excess vs the cost a bit of footage that shows you're not to blame is well worth having.
I fitted an SJCAM 4000 WiFi ages back - which has a car mode - never had to use it but it's been running fine forever.

I have a viofo 129 duo. It cost around £116 on an Amazon lightening deal with cpl filter (BF coming up so deals should be around again   new version out). You still need to buy a micro sd card and in my case I purchased a obd power cable and Bluetooth video lock button (and some 3m tape as the rear camera wasn't for staying put).

I have it fitted to a V90CC just to the left of the sensus? box and cannot see it unless I lean over a bit. I fitted it myself.

It's been fine for me but there is another forum where people are complaining the g-sensor doesn't work so well, so capturing parking incidents can be hit and miss. If I ever use it parking I just leave it continuous recording, but this would mean trawling through video should something happen.

There is also a 4K version due/out but I guess this will cost more.

My experience with Dashcams is you get what you pay for! £100 buys you a front not both!

You have some choices here, although as marksovereign says you get what you pay for, so it might have what you're looking for but quality isn't consistent among its products. Basing off of this list from RRD.org, you have Apeman 1440p, Chortau dual dashcam, Crosstour dual dashcam, and Toguard as your choices.
