"A good robovac is a life changer. Even a $350 basic S8. It is a great place to start. ... I promise you that you will not be disappointed by a basic S8. It will change your life even if it can't fit under every piece of furniture you own. ... My two S8s just finished vacuuming our entire house in about 46 minutes. ... While my floors were being cleaned, I sat comfortably on our patio in the cool shade with a slight breeze and composed my far too long response to you while sipping a diet soda and relaxing. ... I will have to spend about four minutes maintaining my two S8s. This will be my entire contribution to my home floor cleaning effort for today. Four minutes!"
"Like 500$ these robots are currently the steal of the century ... You can get a mova p10 pro ultra (cannot remove its mops), equivalent to the l40/x40 for 500$ after a discount code"
"I got the Q5 Pro for $139. ... costs $450 less than what I paid for the S6 ... it is the best value option out there imo."

"Can't see it at all! ... it is 100% hidden away. ... if it wasn't for seeing the bottom .25" of the back camera you wouldn't know it's there"
"Super easy. ... Took about 20-30 minutes"
"Was easily able to run the wires on the top, press it behind the header with the spudger they gave and make it look nice. Then on the liftgate theres a plastic cover panel you can take off to bundle the extra wire and make the drop to the camera really nice and clean."

"Saved me $10k when I got sideswiped by a UHaul."
"If you can spend money get a Viofo and enjoy high quality videos ... So practically I have 8mp IMX678 sensor on front camera and 5mp IMX675 sensor on back camera which is all other brands put on front cameras (Rove, Xiaomi etc.) even it is Starvis 2 new sensor it ’s still a 5mp. So back camera performance on Viofo is similar to top brands new dashcams front camera ... Top of the line sensor with 8mp and Stravis IMX 678 sensor - image quality is perfect. ... because I want not just dash cam for the sake of having dash cam, but also best image quality therefore I spend more. ... For now I ’m happy with video quality"
"Viofo always alerts when the recording is not working for whatever reason, FitcamX stays silent so you can easily miss recording on accident."

"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."
"my VIOFO A119 V3 has been going strong for the past 4+ years with no issues in the heat."

"ran circles around them all ... the V3 beat most of the competition!"
"The quality is 2560x1440, meaning you can still zoom in a fair amount and still have 1080p quality. ... Overall quality of picture will be determined by lighting, as with any camera, but I have not had any issues with it."
"60 fps - people seem to only pay attention to resolution while it is fps that will allow you to capture blur-free footage while moving"

"It does NOT handle the Florida heat at all. ... Constant shutdowns while driving and parked have rendered it absolutely useless. ... Viofo's solution? Kick it down to 1080 / 2k and hope works. It did not. ... The camera is seriously flawed."
"I don't trust them anymore with their built in capacitors that died."
"had a lot of issues with intermittent recordings on the 70mai"

"My DR970X Plus from JAN 2025 through JAN 2025 does NOT have HDR and is being returned immediately. ... HDR is not a fad, passing trend, or conspiracy pushed by Alex Jones. It the most basic item a camera must have to be useful at capturing details like license plates. ... Without HDR you might as well replace the recorded footage with the Windows 98 Bezier screensaver and extra-long mouse cursor trails. ... Recording a grainy blur in 4K is a high-quality grainy blur but it's still a grainy blur."
"The thinkware, while you can see a lot, is blown out so bad you can't make any license plates or signs out."
"it is still hard to read plates."

11JohnnyWong11 1.0Any dashcam from Viofo. Choose the model that fit your needs. I use A129 Pro at the front, powered by OBD port, so it gets power 24/7 for parking mode. Warn you this may stress the 12V battery. For the back I have a A119 V3 (from my old car) connected to the cigarette port. So no parking mode as the port cuts power when the car is locked. Not the most discreet dashcams but very good build quality and video quality for the price. Not just my own words.

14svfdqs 1.0VIOFO A119 v3. Get a good microsd card and the wire kit and your done.
3dobes 1.0I have a VIOFO a119 v3 with a super capacitor that has lasted three years in Phoenix
It was the a119v3 and it is still in use by a guy I gave it to. And the video quality looks better to me than the much newer Rove I'm using now.
adolfojp 1.0No more than $100 is going to be hard. Bump it up to $150 and you'll have good options. I've been using the VIOFO A119 V3 for almost three years and it's been a solid purchase. It's around $110 but you need to buy an SD card for maybe $20 to $30 dollars. Optional add ons are a polarizer lens to reduce flare and an installation kit if you want to power it with your fuse box instead of with your USB port. Some videos I took with it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOf2zGbXrrY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLXfS6yZLco https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwFO2hcxYEo
amorecolorfulworld 1.0[Linus did a pretty good video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AnyhHl3_tE&t=783s) on this. I ended up buying a Viofo A119 V3 based on the info in it.
amtmt 1.06 years and 4 years in Arizona heat for my A119 V3 and A129 Pro Duo, respectively. Still going strong. OP, [this post convinced me to get a VanTrue S1 Pro](https://www.reddit.com/r/dashcams/comments/1luh6dy/vantrue_s1_pro_max_is_the_probably_the_nicest_cam/), which is a dual 4k system. Only had it for about 4 months but I will say the app is way better than any other dashcam I’ve used.
anhloc 1.0If you just want a good front dashcam, the Viofo A119 v3 will fit the bill. I put the A329 in because I wanted the better image quality and rear camera. Was worth the extra shekels. Buy once, cry once, if you can budget a bit more. Whatever you get, make sure you get a high or max endurance microSD card.
ApartmentRadiant6555 1.0I use Viofo 119 mini for the front camera and the 119 v3 for the rear camera. The whole setting costs less that $200 total when on sale. I prefer the smaller one up front so that it occupies less of my windshield. I bough a long usb C cable and run it from the middle console, under the floor mats, to the rear window. It sucks that the new Highlander doesn't have a 12v or an usb port in the trunk area.
Away_Gazelle_1873 1.0Viofio A119 V3, going on 3 years with the same camera/256GB Samsung High Endurance Micro SD card I bought it with. That's means being stuck to my windshield through over 8 Midwestern US seasons driving 30k per year. Only issues are occasionally needing to switch back to the proper date and turning off the overly sensitive "crash sensor" that flips out when going over small bumps.
awqsed10 1.0Raise the budget to 130 and get a VIOFO a119v3. Getting the clear license plate is the key and Viofo is pretty good to capture the night vision.
