Dashcam recommendations (Front & Rear)

Afternoon!
Looking at fitting both front and rear dashcams to a car I just purchased.
Ideally looking for seperate front and rear system.
Spoilt for choice looking online, so was looking for some recommendations!
Most important is the quality, don't want to waste money buying something that has poor quality video.
Thanks in advance!

    Linus Tech Tips;

    They're basically all crap at the moment until they get better sensors.



    Thank me later. (edited)

    Afternoon fella.
    Any reason why you want separate dashcams when one can do the job of both?
    I bought this from Amazon for £97 in 2022. It's no longer in stock but there are other similar products.
    I have it mounted on my rear mirror and screwed in the extra camera to the back. It does a damn good job and the quality is also good.

    I've only ever had nexbase 522gw. Amazing tech and have worked on insurance claims

    I do seem to be getting a lot of people recommending the 522gw, so will give that some further research.
    Is the 622gw worth the extra cost?

    Also, what's peoples views on this? Lots of good reviews it seems

    Just as important is the micro sd card.
    With next base you need to format the card every month.

    I use these,

    Drivepro 550, on Amazon for about £110, may find cheaper elsewhere.

    Took the plunge and went for the red tiger. Reasonable price, good reviews. If it's a load of poo I can just send it back!
