Latest on dashcams (2026)

[shnazzle]

Back in the UK and evidence from a month of driving here has reminded me of the need for a dashcam.
I had a very nice Kenwood dashcam in our Airtrek which I got discounted, but unfortunately I was silly enough to include that in the sale. Now it's silly money...

Any recommendations for a good quality (night and day) dashcam without glare and motion issues.
It's always surprisingly difficult to find a truly good one that  records solid clear video where you don't have to do deep investigations to get the license plate.

First one that gets my attention is the VIOFO A229 Plus (229), with the polarising filter (18.99) and hardwire kit (18.99).
It's certainly not cheap but the videos look great. If something can be had that's as good for a lot less...then I'm all ears.
