In-Car Camera Recommendations

[STD Warehouse]

Hello everyone...

 

I need to get a video camera fitted in my car that can record all around the car as i drive.

 

This is needed for accidents, so I can show the police or whoever what actually happened.

 

The way tourists on bikes drive during high season is quite concerning, and is the main issue, if I have an accident I don't want to get into a heated discussion about what each party thinks happened, I want to be able to have a video of what really happened.

 

Does anyone have any experience with buying a camera(s) on Lazada or Shopee and installing it in the car themselves? Or is the consensus to get a garage to supply and install one?

 

Btw, I have a Toyota Yaris if that makes any differnce.

 

much thanks for any replies.

Set up phone holder. Install app that records front and rear camera. Use your phone. Too easy

Your Toyota dealer will sell you a Toyota-branded front and rear dashcam set (it appears to be a rebranded Chinese Toguard unit). Its a neat setup.

On the other hand you could fit a Nextbase - they have various models available inc. with GPS (which records speed and location along with video). In the UK my car dealership is a Nextbase sales/install agent and we have fitted several hundred over the last few years with barely any comebacks.
