Default Dash Cam

Finally picked up my 2018 RS3 and got ceramic tint on it today. Now looking for a dash cam. Any suggestions?

I've had this one for several weeks and will probably get another for my wife. Great quality for a very reasonable price and fairly easy to figure out as the instructions aren't the greatest.

the anker roav uses lithium ion batteries. this model will be terrible if left in a warm car.
the viofo a119/a119s is a far superior choice.

good point about the lipo battery..
i use the a118-C capacitor style. 1 for the front and 1 for the rear.

i also have the
blackvue battery backup: blackvue battery backup:





i feel that the best dash cam is one that you never have to think about. i never have to think about or touch the cams unless i want to retrieve footage (which is very rare)

That looks like a great setup. I already have an A118 in my other car. I didn't think about the back-up battery setup.
