Hi sifu, hope everyone enjoying the weekend.
I need your advice and recommendation for choosing dashcam for car. I never used any dashcam before, so kind of noob on this.
Currently my budget for dashcam is max RM1K, and I don't prefer the hard wire modification because worry of that warranty void issues.
I just want a reliable and can see clearly the plate number of the cars for both front and rear camera.
Thank sifus in advance

Old video from my working vehicle last time I upload at 1440p , then you can change the quality video preview at YouTube 1080p and 1440p for your reference, this one not hard wired and is using capacitor and 12v socket plug and play, you can install by your self as long you know how to hide and route the cable

I'm not sure 4k variant, the one equip on my working vehicle 1440p basically better than my other vehicle stock camera 😂😂 , so far have no problem verify all the numbers plate after zooming in.

Usually need to using stock cam corder software preview+capture+zoom in for more clarity and see how far it can go without blur, the concept similar with your phone or DSLR camera capture image from far then zoom in for more details without blurring i guess depends camera sensor ,pixel and lens which the better the sensor and lens the better image and clarity .
