Take a look at this....I'm happy with it's capabilities had it installed for about 6 months....

Rexing V1 3rd Generation 4K UHD WiFi Car Dash Cam 2.4" LCD 170° Wide Angle Dashboard Camera Recorder with WiFi, 16GB Card, G-Sensor, WDR, Loop Recording

 

Here is a link https://www.rexingusa.com/products/rexing-v1-gen-3/?from=products     

 

The camera looks promising....but has anyone installed on a straight up/down HDT windshield?  I tried to install a really nice dashcam last year but the mount wouldn't allow the install on the flat windshield, so I just went back to my old GoPro.

I looked at the Rexing V1 in my pickup over the weekend.  It appears that even if mounted on a vertical windshield there is sufficient camera adjustment to allow the camera view to be normal, since the lens appears to have nearly, if not a full 90° of adjustment.  If you purchase a suction cup mount the bottom of the cup may intrude into the top of the frame, but you'd still have a good view of the road.  If you use the standard, permanent mount, I wouldn't expect any intrusion at all.

I use VicoVation Opia2 dashcams in all of our vehicles. Good resolution and night vision as well as 2 different parking modes.

Hi Dave,

Curious minds need to know. Would you buy that dash cam again ? I still need to add a dash cam to the truck. I'll do a Google search on the brand that you are using now and check it out.

Thanks for any input,
Al

Al, I bought 3 of them about 2 months ago. Have them in both of our daily drivers, the HDT, the C class and the smart cars. Started with the Marcus camera and moved up to the Opia2 for the latest ones.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the info.

I use Black Box G1W.

I just got the G1 CB. G1 W was sold out. Cords are awful short. IT should work in my Pete at work but I dont know about my Freightliner. I might have to add a port.
