Oh, and get a dashcam with parking mode!

Front and rear. Maybe the sides too?

They’re increasingly inexpensive, and you can move them car to car as you buy/sell.

I originally bought a forward facing, and as i’ve upgraded, my old forward facing is now my rear facing.

I've been thinking about that. A good one with parking mode and cloud support sets you back about 800 euro including installation. It could be worth it but the chances of the cops actually catching someone based on the footage is quite slim.

For hit and run accidents in which you can record a license plate it might be worth it.

Cut the cloud storage, install yourself, and buy direct from Asia. Except the flash card, buy that from Amazon. Then it should cost less than US$100 per side.

Oh dear. So we figured out that SD cards „directly from asia“ are either counterfeit, fake or low quality. But apparently cameras are fine? Well, good luck then.
