I have a Nextbase 212, easy to fit and hard wire behind the glovebox, does all thats required and not too expensive.

Good tutorial on here if you search reguarding fitment.

I have tried several Dashcams over the years and agree with above that Nextbase are first class.

I have a Nextbase 522GW front and rear camera hardwired into my Karoq. So far, everything fine.

Thinkware has a great range of dash cams in different designs and with various functions, including the T700 with 4G connectivity.

I much prefer a dashcam that has an adhesive pad fix to the screen, unlike Nextbase which uses a suction cup fixing.

At the end of the day, it's what your preference is 🙂

Stick on mounts for Nextbase are available, that’s what I’ve got.

Nextbase 522GW front and rear camera for me too.
Only issue has been the power connector (at the mount) sometimes "backs off" maybe due to long term vibration which makes me think the whole system has gone Tits Up.

However, just push the connector back in and it's all Kushti.

Definitely worth it in terms of playback quality.

I got a Azdome DC from Amazon + a hard wire install kit. Good enough for what I need & at a reasonable £75.

Yes, Mine's also stuck with stick-on mount (not suction cup).

Hi,

Just joined the forum. Bought a 19 plate 1.6 diesel Karoq.

 

I also got myself a Jansite dashcam with reversing camera. The dashcam is a mirror dashcam which can show front, rear or both together in a split screen. The back camera also functions as a reversing camera. The unit also came with a GPS module and it is voice controlled and is also touch contolled so the views can be changed with sliding the finger up or down or sideways.

 

I read quite a few reviews about various dashcams and Jansite was up there with the best. I have just ordered a hard wire kit for it instead of plugging it into the cigarette lighter.

 

I have not connected it yet, will probably do it later in the month when I get some free time.

There are a few videos on youtube about it
