You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
I know this has been covered before, but wanted to get latest reccos on best front & rear dash cams. After a spate of vandalism on the street my wife parks her car on (5 cars scratched/bashed in one night), I thought it's probably time to invest in a bit of peace of mind - although probably minor.
Ideally looking for:
• Front and rear, for a hatchback
• Can install myself, with somewhat minimal electrical and interior trim skills
• Does some sort of incident monitoring even when car is switched off (bump sensor?)
Ideas?
my Blackvue seems pretty good, its front and rear and seems to do what it says it does

Lots of cams will do this, but I think what you need is a permanent feed with low battery voltage cut off (so it doesn't run your car battery down). Then put in a big SD card and set it to record permanently.
BlackVue make a feed which does this, you can also get no-name ones on ebay for cheaps.
For reference I have a Nextbasse 522GW and whilst the parking mode is good out of the box, it is not sensitive enough to capture vandalism, and also it takes a moment to activate. Also the built-in battery lasts a day or two, at most (hence the suggestion for a permanent feed from the car battery).
I have a BlackVue which does all that, pro installed by a mate (connected to battery, wires hidden etc) although he said it is very straightforward. Footage seems good (can read numberplates which is the main thing I think) but fortunately not used it in anger yet!
Whichever the drug dealer was using in this;
