if you order from everbuying then you need to create an account. that gives you 100 "EB points" which can then be used to obtain a further discount discount of US$2 at checkout.
supeecheap auto has some great specials on now
Just brought this at a great price

Next question please.
I have 2 x G1W-CB but both have melted in the Aussie sun. The buttons dont work and the date resets to default.
So also looking at other brands/modelsReally
I've heard that also but I'll try my luck to see if it can handle the heatI guess it depends on where you live too
Since you asked so nicely the A118C as mentioned above.
I use a street guardian SG9665GC, capacitor and metal lens housing make it less susceptible to getting damaged in the hot Aussie sun. Excellent low light performance and a GPS receiver so location data is saved with the video and clock is always accurate (synchronised with GPS).
Only downside is that it's relatively expensive at about $230, and the Kingston card reader shipped with mine was faulty. I bought a 32GB Samsung EVO class 10 card with reader for $12 on a recent deal which fixed that problem.
I just bought a A118C, have not installed it yet. It appears to not have HDMI output, is that right?
My G1W (capacitor) also did not survive last summer. Did not melt but stopped working in one hot afternoon.
I got a transcend 220 for $180, survived this summer and I'm happy with it. It's a better investment to pay for a decent one to handle the weather.
I just bought Urive Cube (Front 1920x1080p rear 1280x720p), 2 Channel Dash Cam from Korea for AUD 215, I was shocked to see how expansive top range dash cams are here, when i can buy at low AUD $200 ordering from Korea Directly. http://www.urive.co.kr/products/blackbox/urive_cube.html
Now i need to figure out a way to install a hatch back rear.Merged from Cheap & Best Dash Cam for My Car
Guys,
Can someone please suggest me a Cheap & Best Dash Cam for My Car which does the job with minimum hassle. Also is it a good idea to install a rear camera as well? Thanks in advance.
There are plenty of dash cam discussions and deals posted here to date already. Use the search function.
Cheap isn't best.
Best isn't cheap.So which one ?
Go for the A118c, small, good quality camera. Installed it a few months ago and I forget it's even there. The more cameras the better I think
Yes, I've installed mine too, good quality for the price. Come to learn how stupid I was for not getting one much earlier.
Alright, thanks guys! very helpful, so I'll go for a A118c. Couple of questions (sorry):
I am assuming A118c would withstand the heat of Australia if parked in sun
Any suggestions for a rear camera which can record the traffic behind me, thanks again guys.
I am in Melbourne, thanks for the detailed explanation.
