Dashcam suggestions?

[Tom32]

I'm looking for a dashcam set for front and rear - so porsche one is disqualified, which won't drain that much battery(or perhaps have its own), but still be able to record while parked, or at least when it senses movement. Anyone with some suggestions?

Blackvue seems to be the best in its class, at least that was the case with pre-builtin-dashcam Tesla era.

I went with a Blackvue DR900X-2CH with a battery and an extended battery. I am happy with it. Couple of issues:
1) There are a fair amount of reflections visible in the recordings.
2) Connecting to the camera via wifi sometimes seems to confuse the car the next time I start up. However, you get used to working through this pretty quickly.

I have a Viofo T130 in my son’s car. It’s quite good for the price but it needs to be disconnected from power about once per week (reboot) to work properly. Hopefully a firmware patch will fix that issue eventually. For my Taycan I’ll be installing a 2 channel FitcamX since the front cam is so nicely integrated into the car.

Sounds good, but doesn't the battery and extended battery ruin the look of the interior, as well as cables connecting to it? Where do you keep the battery and extended battery?

The Battery and extended battery are in the compartment under the shelf in the trunk area. My installer hid all the cables, there is nothing visible except the cameras themselves.

There are a few prior threads on this topic. I fronted $ for this Kickstarter dashcam (front and rear) that might ship in the next month or so. I'll post a review if they are able to deliver.

CarCam.nl is the cleanest installation I could find, possibly FitCamX as well.
