We’ve considered getting a dash cam for a while and are ready to just do it. It seems there’s a few optional features, and I don’t know what we want or don’t.
Does anybody think they’re a bad idea? And if so, why?
Are any good enough to save an image when cresting a hill and getting an OMG, jaw-dropping vista? (I mean a focused image with decent detail.)
Is sound recording a worthwhile feature?
Not seeing much use for a built in rear facing camera in a class A. Thoughts?
(Or is there an option for a wireless rear facing camera that can be mounted on back of coach? I’ve not seen that.)
A built in gps seems a good idea for recording speed, direction, and location info. Thoughts? (Or can it just be interfaced with our Garman RV 760?)
A removable SD card to download to computer seems worthwhile.
There are some available with sentry features where, when parked, it monitors nearby motion and, when detected, it wakes up and starts recording. This seems a more valuable feature when it’s in a car, not so much a coach. Thoughts?
Any brand/model recommendations? I did a search here and didn’t find anything much real recent…seemed most recommended models are no longer available.
Thanks!
