Best Dash Camera 2024

I just saw your post and decided to jump in the truck and make you a video of some Viofo A229 Pro footage at night. (I also added a little daytime footage from this morning at the end, so you can see how night and day videos compare.) Note that both the front and rear cameras have polarizing filters attached.

Thank you, I appreciate that doing these things takes time away from the multitude of other tasks we need and want to do.
I'm pretty happy about being able to pull plates in these conditions. I'd probably have to run CPL as it's predominantly very bright here in Perth, so having those in the mix is great.
Thanks again. I'll probably go this way now.
If it is not too much to ask, could you post pics of the mounted cams from the outside of the truck, both front and rear? Would like to see how they look from outside, what someone walking by would see. Thanks.
It's dark here now, but I can take some pics for you in the morning. Here are a few phone camera shots after I installed the dash cam. I don't think anyone would notice either the front or rear cameras. I drew arrows pointing to their locations.
Here are some pictures from this morning. I put a CPL on my camera lens to eliminate any glare. Even with that, the dash cam is pretty much invisible from outside the vehicle. I also took pictures from the inside looking out, so you can see their position.

I like this YT channel-- really good reviews of all sorts of things. I did not expect to see them review dashcams though. Most of the cams in this video are really cheap --- and the tests show it.
The Project Farm guy's high pitched voice hurts my ears.
This guy has a very unbiased technical review from 2024, i.e. he is not a paid shill.
Personally, I have the WolfBox G850 rear view mirror cams in both my vehicles.

Viofo is my favourite as well. However, it's very over priced. $399 when it's using the same sensor as the Wolfbox at $199. I couldn't justify that price especially as the others run it close. Dashcam market seems to be dying out a lot in the UK anyway. Insurers don't give discounts and will put premiums up after claims anyway, and the Police are just as likely to use it to prosecute you for offences, so many seem to be abandoning them. I see very few in cars these days compared to just 2-3 years ago.

Since you're looking for the best performance right now, the consensus in the community points toward the VIOFO A229 Pro. It uses the Sony Starvis 2 sensors (IMX678 front / IMX675 rear), which provide the best night performance and detail currently available.
Whatever you choose, definitely aim for a dual-cam (front and rear) setup and make sure to use a High Endurance microSD card to handle the constant recording.

Good advice, also it is important to reformat the memory card frequently. In the Viofo app, it has a reminder that can be set. I set mine for reformatting each month. Turning the cams on and off each time the engine is started may encourage corruption of data. I also have one of the Viofo buttons located on my dash so I can press it if ever involved in an accident to make sure the data is protected on the card and not over-written.
