Default Dash Cam

Was wondering if anyone has some experience with after market dash cams? I am thinking of getting one for my 150, more to use in case of accidents. Thanks

I have a Garmin dc46 ,have it mounted behind the rear view, can't see it at all. It does more than I was expecting at a great price off of Ebay.

Escort make a dash cam that ties into their radar detectors, if you happen to have one. https://www.escortradar.com/collections/dash-cams

My wife and I both have the
Garmin Mini Dash Cam Garmin Mini Dash Cam
. We like that they are small and unobtrusive. You almost forget they are there, until you need it for something then can get the video right on your cell phone.

I have two made by VAVA. The one in my F-150 is a single camera (front facing) and the one in my car is dual (front and rear). Rather inexpensive and works great..

I've reviewed several of the "best" dash cams on Amazon. In the $20-50 price range they're all about the same, and are adequate but not great.

My truck has a BlackVue 750 which is a dual channel 1080p LTE dash cam. I also had a 900s which is a 4k camera. BlackVue is really good. Vantrue also makes good cameras.
