Linus' video is really only focusing on ~$100 cameras, and at that price point you are bound to get a lot of generic Amazon trash. Even with the same basic sensors, what the manufacturers need to bring to the table is processing and features, which is where Viofo, Thinkware, and Blackvue shine.

Vortex Radar did a good follow-up on the video:


For me, it came down to the Thinkware U1000 and the Viofo A129 Pro Duo, and the Viofo won.

The Viofo A119 v3 is the best bang for the buck dashcam at $135 from Amazon. We've installed it in my wife's car.

I have the Viofo A129 Pro Duo 4K, which has a true 4K front and 1080p rear camera, and that cost $324. I also added the hardwiring kit for parking mode ($29), and two polarization filters for the front and rear cameras at $29 a pop. So an extra $90 for the hardwire kit and polarization filters, plus you'll need a high endurance SD card (larger is better for card endurance and recording rollover).

Video quality review for Viofo, Thinkware, and Blackvue 4K cameras (including license plate capture):
