Thinkware F770, the best one on the market, make sure you purchase a rear camera. It will give you up to 8 hours parking mode. I have one installed, brilliant bit of kit.
All depends on your budget, I've got the Blackvue DG650 front and rear and it's not noticeable as the font camera is behind the mirror and you barely notice the rear one.
Ive got the thinkware 770 with front & rear cams in my RangeRover sport & just the front in my pickup,good bit of kit & Ive hardwired them in both but you can get them with just the cig lighter fitting.
Not much use without the parking mode feature if your car is parked up and someone smashes in to it; then whats the point of having a dash cam to record on the move only, buy cheap you buy twice IMO.
The F770 looks good and i think would be perfect for us - im think the front and rear cameras.
I have no experience of electronics and would want this hard wiring in. I have no intention of setting my car on fire so think i would want to get it professionally installed.
Im up in Manchester. What would be a reasonably cost to have the front and rear cameras fitted with hardwire? I've seen varying prices so dont know what is a reasonable price?

I purchased my F770 camera, front and rear from these guys, really good service and they have technicians nationwide so someone will come out to your home address and install it hard wired. Here is the link below. Let us know how you get on.
I forgot to mention that they will deliver the camera to your home address before installation. https://chameleoncodewing.co.uk/
This hardwire kit was easy to use. If you can change a fuse, and have a grounding point nearby its really easy to wire up. (also available from Halfords - £20)
Interested :thumb:
Too lazy to search, will the rear view work if the car has window tint film? At night it's hard to see through the Rear glass with the naked eye. Car is a BMW e92 and the film was fitted from new by the BMW dealer as we wanted tinted rear glass
Might be a daft question but do any car companies offer built-in dashcams? remember when Sat nav was a device and not built in. It seems a no brainier for them to start fitting them or offering as an option?
I've had a camera in my vehicles for the past 7-8 years, currently using the A119 in the front it's a cracking camera and priced well @ £72 imo. I have a Mobius in the rear and that too is a great little camera.
Have a look @ Techmoan on youtube.
I always hardwire them and there is only the first couple of inches of wire on show, the rest is in the headlining/behind the trim.
Parking mode isn't that good, it starts recording with movement which most of the time for me is constant anyway. One tree in the background and there's constant movement, therefore constant recording. Hell, even fast moving clouds always keeps it recording.
You can get 128Gb blackvues now that'll do more than 24hoirs of recording.

So guys, after my "Another reversed into me thread" Ive got a dashcam for my sons car - went for the A118-C from Amazon for £45. Will see how it goes and then get the FIL one as well.
