I agree it's pricey for a no name cam. I would spend a little more and get a good one and I bought mine from Black Box My Car. The Viofo has some really nice ones in every price range and you get 5% off your first order by signing up for emails.

Wolfbox is fairly well known and they're under $200...and you get a mirror/monitor and rear cam...

True but the mirror isn't a simple set up especially if you have the road camera there. I've read complaints that if you attach it to the stock mirror it rattles. Personally I like the "normal" cams as the instals are easy and for someone like me (who's not the best at wiring) simple is better or there could be trouble. lol 🔥 :oops:

I was looking for an OEM look. Nice and clean! I didn't like the unknown manufacture and possible problems, But it sure looks CLEAN install.

I want a basic dashcam just for front viewing I'd like it to have nice definition better than 1080. I ordered a Donger kit to pull the power from the autodim mirror. That looks pretty sweet so what cams are you guys using. Prefer to stay under $200.00
I went with one of these for my MY23 F150 and MY25 Mustang GT

That is the one I would buy, it's been out for years and like most reviews most people love them. The OEM look is really nice, and at $230 (I see a $40 coupon in Amazon) for front and rear that is the lowest I have seen it. Hmm now I may need to run down tht rabbit hole of gotta have one!

OR buy a 3d printer and make an OEM looking mount, but that could take years and cost thousands with my learning curve :)
