Video Description

I share my best value picks for dashcams between $35 and $110. These cameras were chosen after extensive research and hands-on testing. We looked closely at reliability, video quality and functionality versus their price and intended use to come up with our 5 picks. - - - - 🌟 UPDATE: July 29, 2021 🌟 Viofo A119V3 continues to be my top budget dash cam pick. It's been reliable and backed by a manufacturer with good customer service. 70mai's Pro-Plus is my new cheap pick. Same 1440P video quality as Viofo for $60 with a few downsides including poor customer service. See my review here: https://youtu.be/njXJoiWvses The BlueSkySea B1W has been removed from my top picks. Anker A1 and Viofo A119V2 are no longer being sold. - - - - OUR TOP DASHCAM PICKS & WHERE TO GET THEM I've purchased all dash cams and accessories since 2017. No paid reviews here. When you buy using some links below, we may earn some money at no cost to you. 1️⃣ VIOFO A119V3 — Best Budget Camera Great for drivers who want excellent day and night video quality and all the essentials you need in a dashcam. Great customer service through their retailer OCD Tronic. I recommend getting the polarizing filter to reduce glare. 📹 My Full Review: https://youtu.be/H4f2HWs_gpc Amazon • USA: https://amzn.to/2QoQEPT • CAN: https://amzn.to/3fbyFpu • UK: https://amzn.to/2m6A3DK Viofo's Official Store: https://geni.us/ViofoOfficial Ships internationally 2️⃣ 70MAI PRO PLUS | Best Value 1440P Dash Cam The new value king for 2021, 70mai’s Pro-Plus cameras deliver amazing 1440P video quality with all the features I think are important for only $60. For most people who aren't in a hot environment and OK with bad customer service / WiFi app, this will be the better value over the 1080P cameras below. No longer available on Amazon unfortunately. 📹 My Full Video Review: https://youtu.be/njXJoiWvses • 70mai Pro-Plus Aliexpress: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_9ATrOQ 3️⃣ ANKER ROAV A1 Discontinued by the manufacturer. 4️⃣ Aukey Dash Cams — Hot Weather Picks Our picks for hot climates as they are the only cameras with capacitors and a 2-year warranty. They aren’t specifically designed for hot weather but they are built decently. In 2021 the DRA1 (Budget 1080P) and DRS1 (4K) are the only two worth buying. ⚠️ Amazon has removed Aukey for review fraud on May 11th, 20201. Some cameras are available directly from Aukey: https://www.aukey.com/collections/dash-cam 5️⃣ VIOFO A119V2 — 1440P Value Pick Discontinued and can no longer found easily on the market. If you do, Viofo isn't supporting this model anymore. 💽 64GB SAMSUNG PRO ENDURANCE — Best Memory Card for Dash Cams It helps your camera stay running as it’s tougher than the typical card you’ll buy and helps reduce data corruption. 📹 Our Full Video Review: https://youtu.be/ccd0Oo5uBek Amazon / Best Buy / B&H Links: https://geni.us/64SamsungProEndurance - - - - 🔥 SUPPORT MY WORK 🔥 If you appreciate my content and want to see more, consider donating: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/andrewlam - - - - TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Our Test Methods and What's a Dash Cam 0:25 Summary of Our Top 5 Cameras & Why We Chose Them 1:28 Viofo A119V3 — Best Budget Dash Cam 6:46 ROAV A1 — Best Cheap ($50) Dash Cam 10:54 What MicroSD Card to Buy 11:26 BlueSkySea B1W — Small & Heat Resistant Camera for $50 13:22 Aukey Dash Cams — Top Choice for Hot Environments 15:40 Viofo A119V2 — Best Value 1440P Dash Cam 17:12 Viofo A129 DUO — Best Budget Front-Back Dash Cam 18:05 $250+ Premium Dash Cams Summary
