BlackVue DR750S-1CH Dash Cam absolute beast. It's expensive but compare to other cheaper ones, I guess the saying goes you get what you pay for, in this case.

Costco had 360 dash cam for $150, but I haven't used it, so not sure if it's any good.

I run an older version of this camera, fits perfectly behind the rearview. Can't see it at all when driving and it's barely visible from the outside.

Strongly recommend investing in a good quality 2 channel camera like the
Thinkware U1000 Dual Dash Cam Thinkware U1000 Dual Dash Cam
or the
Blackvue BV-DR900S Blackvue BV-DR900S

Momento M5 HD, has front and rear cams. Very small footprint. Mine is mounted up behind the rearview mirror. You can't even see it. Great quality.

I've got a Swann Drive Eye (probably no longer made but I didn't check) in my Pontiac Torrent daily driver and a Transcend Drive Pro in my F250. Both have been in use for several years with little to no problems.
Maybe reformat the SD card once in a while after it's been written over hundreds or more times but that's about it.
I may try a $69 Nexar just for grins next time around. https://us.getnexar.com/?fbclid=IwAR...w2d4lnJKvFdBsA

American made verses Chine made

This has been a great conversation about buying American or China made.

Thank you all for your input.

I have been using a BlackVue for 4 yeas, installed the battery saver. I like that the camera is always on when the truck is started.

I did have to replace the cameras once. The just stopped working one day.

Sometimes my camera will not turn on for the first 10 min of my drive.


one thing I wish it had was the ability to always stay on when the vehicle is on. If you park or stop for a while, it goes into park mode.

Garmin mini 2 here, I like it and it’s easy to install (Buy the Dongar plug & play if you have auto adjust review mirror) and it has super clear video. Small discreet and out of line of sight.
