Byakov Dash Cam - $47.99 (20% off)
The Byakov dash cam records videos in 1080p resolution and features "superior night vision." It also features WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) technology. Like most others, this cam has a G-sensor and automatically starts recording if your car is hit, even in a parking lot. It also has a 170° wide viewing area, a small form-factor, and loop recording. Last but not least, the cam comes with a two-year product replacement warranty. After 2,380 Amazon ratings, it's sitting at a score of 4.3 out of 5 stars. Reviewer Debleigh C. had this to say in their five-star review:
"This dash cam fit perfectly behind my rearview mirror. [It's] very discreet, you can hardly notice it there. The camera and suction cup mount are smaller than photos suggest. Also, the camera is very light so the mount is more than adequate. I've set it up for high resolution with loop recording at 5 minutes. I'm not using the parking monitor. This is pretty much a set and forget kit. [It] begins recording when the car starts and shuts down when the car is turned off. The video quality is great. The lens has a very wide angle so it captures all lanes of traffic and entire intersections. This is a well made, well functioning dash cam. Great buy!"

"I bought this dash cam for my 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. I love the fact that out of the box, you get a three channel camera (front, rear and interior) plus a display and all sorts of options ... The parts and accessories are all high quality ... I'm extremely happy with my purchase and would certainly get it again for another vehicle."
