Raymond, that looks like a good buy, but it doesn't have GPS capabilities. I like that feature so I have a record of how fast I was driving when the jerk pulls out in front of me!

I have had the Vantrue X4 for about a year now. I've been very pleased with it. It has a GPS add-on for those that want that. A little spendy, but I've been very happy with it.

Been doing some research into a dash cam for the coach as well front view only.

Might want to check out this one out at Amazon and there is a rear camera with this model too, shoots in 4K and has parking mode as well

Here is a Youtube review

I have a dashcam that records 4K in the front and 1080 in the rear. It's permanently mounted and wired into my truck's upfitter switches. I leave it on all the time. I have it for when I'm towing and Bubba pulls out in front of me in the middle of nowhere. With my luck, Bubba's brother will be the cop that responds. Without it, I'd be up a umm, brown creek. I've got quite a few videos of people cutting me off and wildlife in the roads.

I also have a front and rear camera set up on my motorcycle. They turn on with the ignition, so if I'm riding, they are recording. They are powered through the bike's electronics so I don't have to worry about a battery failing like I would with a GoPro.

Yes, they might catch you speeding, but it's your camera. You don't have to turn yourself in just because you have a video of yourself speeding.

But I am a safe driver no accidents in 40 years.

I put one in the DP and have one in the Jeep that also has a rear camera too.

We use one in our motorhome, too......mainly for telling our side of the story.

We have dashcams in both the motorhome and the car. Our car was broken into last summer, and the thieves pushed aside the more expensive Garmin GPS on top of the dash to take the $20 Walmart special dashcam.
