Thanks @abuch47 so the BlackVue 2 channel 4K setup should be <$600 during a proper sale
Thanks also @kleanphil. I’ve also noticed prices vary with SD card size where I see the larger bundled SC cards carry a disproportionate high premium. I’d simply prefer to source my own SD card and not pay such a premium.
The problem I still have is that I don’t have a great feeling that night vision recording will be optimal and provide good number plate identification. Headlights and reflective number plates simply cause flaring within the video and few really define their camera’s low light sensitivity.
The last problem I have is whether any viewing software is provided with the cams and whether you can frame by frame advance and reverse the video. Many home security cameras don’t do such which makes getting a snap of the required frame that much harder
May be I’m over thinking it but at more than a $grand or so for 4 channels plus extra for battery management systems, I wish the car manufacturers bundled a well designed integrated crashcam data logging solution into our vehicles. Heck, like reverse cameras, this should have been mandated as part of the ADR’s years ago which would have served to also drive down prices.
