"Vantrue N4. 1440p front, 1080 inside, 1080p rear."
"Vantrue N4. It’s always at the top of review lists. Not too expensive, 3 cameras, lots of other features, good night vision, etc."
"Vantrue n4"
"For the best bang for your buck, you’ll want to look for a dash cam that offers solid video quality, easy installation, and reliable performance without breaking the bank. Here are a few options that are well-regarded for being cost-effective while still offering great features: Vantrue N2 Pro – This is a great option if you're looking for a dual-camera system (front and cabin)."
"For your Si, I'd recommend checking out the Vantrue N2 Pro or the Nextbase 522GW. Both are great options for urban driving and give you good video quality."
"I like Vantrue n4 its really good."
"I currently use VantrueCam E1 Lite and it does everything it’s supposed to and it’s easy to use. Only con is that it doesn’t come with a rear cam and the video quality could be a bit better."

"I've got the Redtiger that's going for $150 on Amazon right now."
"I have a Redtiger f7np, the resolution is good and the price is down to about $140. The only problem I have had with it is that I have to format the SD card about once a month or it could stop recording."

"I have a Thinkware dual channel, hardwired in by a professional. It’s got a battery protection mode too for the crappy 12V battery. It’s working well so far"
"I have a Thinkware with the back camera too. I will say prepare to spend extra money because the 12V battery in the Niro is notoriously _crap_ so I had to add a battery pack under the driver's seat."
"It comes in a pack with the rear one, I currently don't have an sd card in it so it's useless rn."
