Which dash cam for a Christmas present for a trucker?
There are two I can highly recommend, and are under $100.The Viofo A119. I've used one in my truck for 6-7 months. Overall video and reliability is good. It has a capacitor, which means a possibly longer life with fewer problems than a battery equipped model. For those who prefer a screen, and onboard menu, the A119 has one. The A119 attaches to your windshield with an adhesive tape backed mounting plate. (You may want to buy additional 3m VHB tape to keep on hand to remove and replace the cam)
The 'Mobius'. I have an 'A' model which is 3 years old, and still works well, after working in a truck for months on end. I currently prefer the 'C' model for slightly better night video. My 'C' is well over a year old, and has run in the truck 24/7, for months on end.
The Mobius is small, reliable, and produces good video. It does not have a screen. You have to configure the settings via an easily used software program.
The Mobius uses various mounts that use a standard 'tripod' type thread. These range from suction cup mounts, to adhesive backed mounts.
Both of these dash cams can use a 64GB card, which will give you up to 8 hours of video files.
The A119 comes equipped with a capacitor, the Mobius offers an add-on capacitor which is easily installed, and inexpensive.
Two other dash cams worth considering, are the Ausdom AD282, and A261. Both can be found at Amazon, and other online retailers, provide very nice video, have a screen, and are somewhat easy to use.
(The slight downside is they are not so discrete, and have a battery.)
