Could Someone Please Suggest Me a Good Dashcam under $50

Shopaholicdesi on 13/04/2017 - 00:13

Just for safety reasons I though of getting a Dashcam which could help me in the instances if something happens while driving. But my price budget was approx. $50

Thanks in advance :)

    If you can increase your budget to $100, you can get so many good dash cams that's built to last and records high quality videos.

    I bought this one from Big W for $69 a couple of months ago and so far have had no problem at all. comes with built in Mic.

    That's a bit of an oxymoron, you'll be hard pressed to get any type of 'good' Dashcam under $50. Australia has some unique environments that tend to break the cheap dashcams, more so when the inside and heat from the sun can melt a lot of those and they'll just stop working. YOu'll also find that these will not have the capacity to record at time of incident or loss of power.

    there's a high chance upon impact your cheap dashcam won't be recording, u get what you pay for.

    Mine has parking mode, impact mode, 2 channel system, power saving mode all this for $200

    I would suggest this

      Is Xiaoyi same as Xiaomi?

    I'd suggest stretching your budget a little bit more than $50. Yes you can record a simple impact as evidence but what about reading number plates for runners or accidents at night?
    A small investment for a huge saving.

    Here's a video of the "best" budget cams - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYYQnZcQxwI . ****Prices in USD

    Xiaoyi is also a good recommendation, but I think the Australian heat might get to it since it runs on a battery instead of capacitors
    Otherwise the A118C is a decent budget option. Has capacitors so heat doesn't affect it as much.

    I can't recommend any: I don't use any. But this guy seems to review pretty well:
