Ready to buy your a dash cam for your truck?

I can recommend two models of dash cams I have used extensively, and are available from various sources online.    Both provide good video, are reliable, and reasonably easy to use.



The Papago GoSafe 110 was a bit of a surprise for me.  It's easy to use, has very nice day and night video, and had some other features that made it very suitable for use in a big commercial truck.    I didn't expect to like this cam, but I did.    

GearBest.com currently has the GoSafe 110 on sale for $63.79, with free shipping.


The second basic dash cam I can recommend is the A118-C.

The A118-C is available from multiple suppliers, online.    The video quality is good, night video not as good as the Papago GS110.     The A118-C is more discrete than the GS 110 in your windshield.    Both of these dash cams use a capacitor, not a battery, which aids in longer unit life with less problems.   Both mount to your windshield via two sided tape.   

You can also buy an optional GPS module for the A118-C.
The A118-C is proven, and has a pretty good track record for reliability.    There are many reviews onliine.

Check the sidebar on the top right for two online sellers of the A118-C.  


Ready to buy your first dash cam?  You'll be happy with either of these.   They're also a good Christmas gift for that trucker in your family.
(They also work well in smaller vehicles!)


A third DashCam I can recommend, is the Ausdom A261 I am currently testing.    I've been using it for a few weeks.     The video, day and night is good.   One downside is it is a 'battery' model.
Sometimes you have problems with the battery and the heat in parked vehicle interiors, but I have not noticed any indication with this cam, yet.   Stay tuned for more info.
The A261 uses a suction cup mount,  (easier to mount, move, or remove) and has GPS built in.



NOTE:  GPS in dash cams is of modest use.    Usually the GPS data is embedded in the video file, and only visible using special viewing software.


The Mobius Action/dash cam is one of my favorites.  I've been using one in a tractor trailer for about two years, 24/7.
They're small, discrete, and capable.   Buy the aftermarket capacitor kit for severe use in any vehicle.    
They're not the most 'plug and play' friendly cam out there.   They're a good choice for a first cam if you are tech savvy.
You'll need to have a laptop or android phone to setup and maintain a Mobius.    There is no display screen.    

A dash cam can protect you if you drive safely.   If you are a professional driver,  this is very important.    Too often the driver of 'big trucks' is blamed when the other vehicle was the cause, or contributed significantly to the incident.  You may also save you or your company time and money wasted in lawsuits.
Protect yourself, and your job.  Get a dash cam.
