When I did pick a dash cam for my wife's van, I found this guy's videos and website to be extremely helpful! https://carcamcentral.com/guide/best...-boxes-of-2019

I'm 100% supportive of dashcams for the reasons stated above, and will be installing a Blackvue DR900S-2CH front/rear cam in my upcoming GT3 daily driver.

Race Car
After a 17 year old girl swung two lanes wide and plowed into the side of my 911 with her Kia sedan, totalling my car....I now have a front/rear dashcam in my new 911. Although the police found her at fault in the accident, I am not taking chances if it happens again.
Don't have them in my other cars...maybe down the road I will add a dashcam to them.

I had a cheaper Blackvue, good for basic stuff but you couldn't read license plates. Now I have a Rexing with super-high res and rear camera, but it's HUGE and does some weird stuff, so I wouldn't recommend it.
I was in an accident years ago where a guy turned left on red in front of me. I T-boned him, totaling both cars. The cop and insurance adjuster both said "he said/she said" on who had the light, but fortunately there was a car next to me, and he stayed as a witness so I won that one. That's the best argument for a dash cam, because most people these days don't stick around.
I told my wife that if I ever got into an accident and it looked like I was at fault (assuming that I was indisposed, etc.) she was to rip the camera from the car and hide it.

A lot of service dealer joy rides have been caught because of dash cam. Same for parking valets, not that I would ever valet my car, but for those who do, you now got the evidence if they do.
