Anyway, this is what I found out.

Go Full HD, or else cannot see number plates when moving. So no point.
Acceptable ones will cost RM200 plus
Best is to buy Capacitor type instead of battery cos heat will kill battery fast
Wiring is also important or else you can also use slim Powerbank
Take note on the Connectors, some are not standard type.
Some ppl buy Dashcam that looks like the rearview mirror to make it look stealth.
Get a higher speed card as you will be capturing FullHD videos.

And lastly...There are a lot of IMITATION models out there!! so before you buy, PM the seller to make sure its Original

The difference between dashcam and a selfie camera (Xiao Yi, GoPro) is that...dashcam got autoloop feature. It will auto delete old files when the space is full. In my opinion, selfie camera as dashcam is stupid as you need to monitor your SD storage space all the time.

Correct me if i am wrong.

not bad.


I think we have to consider these as well..
1) Do u want to attract people to break your window when u parked?
2) Do you always want to remove the camera every time you reach a destination?
3) Does the dashcam have any software where you could just trace back the event rather than finding the event in timeline?

Sorry, I dun even have a dashcam, was doing some 'research' about it.

I would only recommend 1 dashcam type....

Mobius Action Camera - Yes the Legendary Mobius, small form factor (like a box of matches), wide angle lens (for the dashcam version) and you can mount it in the dash, bicycle, bike, Drones where ever. If you fancy Modding it, the mod parts are also available at ebay.

Other than that, I just go for a Rear View mirror Full HD type for stealth purpose

yes, its pretty tough if you need to keep attending to the storage space everytime. i would prefer the gadget that just operates without human interference until when something important or case driven.
