I'm thinking about getting a Dash Cam for my MME, I'm debating between the Thinkware U1000 4K 2CH, and the Blackvue DR900X 4K 2CH. I have the Blackvue 750 2CH in my Clarity, I have been happy with it, but the cost of taking it out to move it to my new car is a significant chunk of the cost of buying a new one. I'm leaning towards the Thinkware, but I'm undecided. I don't really need the cloud features, but since I can connect it to the AT&T subscription hotspot in the car, it would more practical than using a hotspot on my phone whenever I am in my car. The Thinkware seems to have better video quality, especially the rear camera. The Thinkware can only use up to a 128GB SD card, but the H.265 should have enough compression for that to be enough. The Thinkware also has a radar detector option, $90 additional, for motion sensing of movement around the car.
I'm wondering what others here are using or have used. I don't commute to work, so monitoring while parking is not as much a need. I'm more interested in having video evidence in case of an incident. I'm thinking I would get the radar option if I got the thinkware, as it would start recording earlier and not just start recording at the moment of an incident.
