up-country_sinclair Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Hi, My wife wants to get a dashcam for her Honda Jazz and I'd be most appreciative of moderately priced recommendations. She's looking for it to turn on automatically when she starts the car and have no visible wires. Her budget is somewhere between 1,500-2,500 THB. If more info is needed, I'd be happy to post it once informed. Thanks! PS--I know there are several threads on dashcams, but since it's 2018 I'd like to get up to date recommendations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petermik Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Many on Lazada for under 1000 baht....thats where I bought mine 18 months ago and still working fine 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giddyup Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) I also bought mine from Lazada for under 1000 baht, still working after nearly 3 years. There's hundreds to choose from in that price range, much of a muchness. You will still need someone to install it if you want the wires hidden, unless you are prepared to pull out roof lining etc yourself. They all turn on automatically if connected to the vehicle's power. You could also do a Google search for best dash cam under 2500 baht.

topt Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Good reviews on the site below and a lot of info in the forums - although not sure if any are from the sub 1500 price range. https://dashcamtalk.com/best-dash-cams-of-2018/ https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katipo Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 The Yi, by Xiaomi is available with on Lazada for about 1.5k Baht. It has very high ratings on Amazon. I have 2. Excellent quality, even at night. You can transfer video wirelessly to your phone to watch too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a10ams Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I reckon there's little to choose from in quality around the 1500 baht mark, they're probably al much of the same thing. Remember to budget for a high quality (Class 10?) micro memory chip as well. It's not much good without it. Also buy a 1 to 2 cig lighter adaptor so you don't need to unplug the camera to charge your phone. Points to look for ...... wide angle view 160 degrees at least ...... night vision lights come on automatically ..... seamless looping (ie no gap between videos, but I think that's industry standard nowadays). Get the seller to set the instruction mode to English for you!! As for fitting it ..... diy. I've fitted several and always found somewhere to hide the cable. You should start at the camera end first. I have always found a space between the windscreen and the headcloth where I could push the cable into. Go either left or right across the top of the screen to the door pillar. If the plastic pillar cover is not easily removable to hide the cable, then peel back the rubber door seal and come down the pillar with the cable. Once you've got to the lower dash level, come out with the cable and go across to your cigarette lighter. This is the point where you may be glad you started at the camera end ...... if there's any extra cable then hide it under the dash. Easy peasy.

streetlite Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Just bought an OPIA from Lazada. 3000 Baht. Came with a 32G card. It is fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazinoz Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Personally I suggest you get one with a separate rear cam. I got my on ebay from Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
