Needs:

#1: maximum coverage angle so that the next time an Outback swerves into me it'll be captured on cam.
#2: crispest image to capture License Plate info:
#3: I do not want it hardwired as a permanent fixture in my car. Need it removable. I'm happy plugging it into the USB with wires showing, etc.

Thanks for your recommendations and feedback!

Love my Thinkware U1000. I don't know much about the Transcend DrivePro 550B.

I did a lot of research on dash cams. The U1000 is expensive.

U1000 4k @30 fps or 2k @ 60 fps front camera, picture is crisp. 2K QHD rear camera.

Sony Starvis chip creates a beautiful video at night.

Transcend is a battery not a super capacitor.

Why are you comparing a Seltos to a Telluride? Buy the Telluride, nuff said.

I think most are leaning towards the hard wired in for the super clean look, especially after the such in depth talk and install pics that have been posted on here. I think if your going dash cam you might as well go all in. Not sure if you want wires hanging down which would give your maligator a tempting new chew toy as you are running into the store for your second cup of joe ️ .

I don’t know anything about those dash cams so I didn’t vote
