    If you want to buy anything, don’t get one that has an app associated with it.

      It’s an impossible ask. Even the cheap $20 imports require an app to set them up.

      Privacy nightmare on multiple fronts, given the latest wifi/bluetooth scanning revelation.

        I literally bought a no name dashcam a few months back that’s 4k on the front and 2k on the back and it just records to an SD card.

        I skipped any product that showed an app, phone, or android icon.

          Got a link? I’m actually in the market for a replacement and have had no luck finding a simple device.

            I’ve been very happy with my viofo which is SD only and no app. But damn, have prices gone up in the last 5 years.

              every Viofo I’ve checked had WiFi + app. Even the cheap ones.

                Had to go out to the car to check, but this is what I have.

                  Wow! That’s not even listed on their Amazon storefront.

                  Thank you so much!

                  I have an antique AUKEY that has been limping by for quite a while now, and that’s exactly what I need. Ordering it now.
