"i have had the BlackVue DR970x Plus which proved bulletproof during the hottest Summer on record last year. my credit cards and ID’s all had to be replaced because they melted and warped, but the BlackVue keeps running without issues."
"I live in Mexico in a place where temps can get up to 45°C (113°F) and by installing it on the black part of the windshield the camera doesn't get very hot."

"If I record for more than 14 minutes it will freeze and battery is already almost dead. This is at night night by the way so temperature isn't high."
"and they also overheat. It could be that I'm in Australia, but I've mounted my Insta in my car to record random stupidity and then find it's off and recorded a minute or two before dying. ... Just Google Insta overheating, and it's an issue they are 100% trying to hide."
"My hero 12 is unusable in Thailand due to overheating issues. ... I’m just sitting here thinking really one decade later they haven’t fixed this thing from overheating?"

BigMickPlympton 0.1I have had a Blackvue 900X in my 2022 ORP and love it. Rear view came in handy a few months ago. Check my post history in r/dashcams.
bradleycjw 0.1A little out of your price range but 70mai A810 is really good. I have it on most of my cars. I have a couple of A800s, which are pretty good (and closer to your budget) and a BlackVue 900s and 900x. BlackVue cameras are good quality but the app is so bad. I’m considering replacing both my BlackVue with the upcoming 70mai T800 camera (they are having a Kickstarter now - launches in August 2025)
f1racer328 0.1I bought a used BlackVue off of eBay (so slightly more affordable, but still expensive) and it’s been doing great in the heat. Have been running it for 3 years. DR900X
jjnawz 0.1Dongar mirror adapter makes it cake, I just went with the garmin 67w, works great. Did a blackvue DR900x in the wife’s car and it’s great! For the price difference and easy install I’m happy with the garmin.
Nivarka 0.1BlackVue DR900X is brilliant kit. Lovely parking mode and cloud recording, small and unobtrusive for front and rear recording.
oakcitymedia 0.1I use Blackvue 900x and above 4k and has parking mode and wifi connectivity! I can even show you videos of the quality of it. A bit pricy. Has low voltage but I do notice if I don’t drive for a week it does weaken. So I just disconnect it when it sits in my garage or drive way if I store the car.
Rick91981 0.1Blackvue DR900X because of the smaller size. Zero issues with eyesight
I'm running an older Blackvue, DR900X. Get one with the Starvis 2 sensor, it's a big leap in quality. Avoid ones with an internal battery, you want one with a super capacitor. Ones with battery are junk. Stick with a name brand, some good examples are Blackvue, Thinkware and Viofo. Garmin are decent, but their tech is a bit dated. If it's less than about $100 for a front only and $150 for a dual channel, it's probably junk.
SDBolts-619 0.1Blackvue dr900x in my RS5. Love it.
SecrITSociety 0.1I have a Blackvue DR900x that's worked in both my gen2 and now my gen3 For my Gen3, I used the following to mount it: Blendmount Mirror Mount as I have a tinted windshield. Dongar Adapter to tie into the overhead OEM adapter (above the sunglass/light console). You can get it with either constant or accessory power, but the adapter has all the wires so I just spliced into what I needed (rather splice the adapter then the OEM plug). 1" custom bracket from thedashcamstore for the rear window mount (this works for both gens)
WealthyStoic 0.1We got a Blackvue DR900X front and rear dash cam with battery backup so that it will record while the vehicle is parked. The installers did a great job of hiding all the wires.
