"capacitor-powered (instead of batteries that bloat and degrade in heat)"

According-2-Me 0.2Go VIFO 129a plus duo - front and back for $169 - it has a mic but no interior cam. No subscription, just have to provide your own micro SD card
trampled93 0.2I would take a look at r/dashcam for advice, but VIOFO is a commonly recommended brand. I have a VIOFO A129 plus dual channel and like it a lot, but they have newer models to choose from.
69AssociatedDetail25 0.2I've not got a rear camera, but I'm more than happy with my Viofo A129 Plus. They've sponsored a few YouTube channels, so you can probably get a discount through one of their promo codes.
Yeah they're not cheap, but worth it in my opinion. I think they're also the only brand to use capacitors instead of batteries, which gives me some extra confidence that my car won't randomly catch fire on a hot day.
Complete_Gear_7063 0.2Viofo 129 plus with hardwire kit
CrapIsMyBreadNButter 0.2Viofo. They have options ranging from $100 - $500. I've had the A129 plus on mine and my wife's cars for 3.5 years with no issues.
CrypticClif 0.2Viofo brands are very reliable and one of the most common ones. I have the Viofo 129 because I figured 1440p was enough quality, and I wasn't wrong. The one above is 4k resolution. Easy install and even easier to tuck the wires. If you care enough though, their hardwiring is a seperate buy, but i heard most dash cams being hardwired in tend to always trickle battery power no matter what.
deathbatdrummer 0.2This is just straight up false. [Almost EVERYONE is Wasting Money on Dash Cams.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AnyhHl3_tE) Personally use a Viofo 119v3, which is 150ish. Superb dashcam, and if you want one with a rear cam too you can get the a129 plus for under 300.
Emotional-Start7994 0.2I have a Viofo A129 Plus 1440p front, and 1080p rear. Very discreetly tucked away behind my rear view mirror. I've had it for over 2 years now and it still works great. It has a GPS base which also provides power. And I have a polarising filter that clips over the lens too which helps reduce dashboard reflections (was a separate purchase). They now do an A329 which you may want to look at which is 4K and even better quality than the A129 (and A229). However it's quite expensive at just under £350.
Hawvy 0.2I’ve had the Viofo A129 Plus for over three years and I love it. My only hang up is that the WiFi is pretty slow when downloading the video files, so I got one of those mini SD card readers that you can plug into your phone and it’s so much easier, faster and you can download multiple video files at one time to your phone.
I’ve had a Viofo A129 Plus for over three years now and it’s been great. Front and rear cameras, parking mode, and WiFi to download video files, however I use a small SD Card reader I plug into my phone for faster downloading.
Honda_Driver_2015 0.2VIOFO has held up great so far. Matter of fact I bought two of them one for my wife's car.
