Review Summary: Best Dash Cameras of 2020
In this collaborative buyer's guide with Alex from BlackboxMyCar, we discuss the top-performing dash cams for 2020. The selection focuses on reliability, video quality (especially at night), and advanced parking mode features, highlighting why certain "OG" brands remain the preferred choice over generic Amazon alternatives.
Best Budget Single-Channel: The Viofo A119 v3 is the top choice for an affordable, front-only camera. It features a Sony Starvis sensor for superior low-light recording and adds buffered parking mode—a high-end feature that records 15 seconds before an impact is detected. [01:49, 05:07]
Best Budget Two-Channel: The Viofo A129 Duo provides a balanced 1080p front and rear recording experience for under $200. It includes Wi-Fi for phone transfers and shared the buffered parking capabilities of the A119 v3. [06:13, 07:36]
Flagship 4K Picks:
Thinkware U1000: The first to offer 4K front and 2K rear recording. It is highly regarded for its thermal management and energy-saving parking modes. An optional radar module allows it to wake and record before a hit-and-run occurs while consuming minimal power. [09:40, 23:43]
Viofo A129 Pro: A more affordable 4K alternative that delivers slightly better fine-detail capture in daytime video than the U1000, though it lacks the advanced cloud features and radar accessories. [09:31, 31:02]
Rideshare Choice: For Uber and Lyft drivers, BlackVue IR (Infrared) models are recommended. These feature separate interior cameras with infrared LEDs to document the cabin in total darkness, with the flexibility to mount the lens discreetly. [31:57, 32:33]
Parking Mode Power: Dedicated battery packs like the Cellink NEO are recommended to power dash cams while parked. This protects the vehicle's main battery and allows premium cameras like the U1000 to record for up to 6–7 days on a single charge. [22:54, 33:55]
Brand Reliability: The video emphasizes sticking with established brands (Viofo, Thinkware, BlackVue) that manufacture their own hardware and provide ongoing firmware support, as opposed to companies that simply re-brand generic white-label cameras. [36:15, 37:34]

Full disclosure: The purchase links in my videos are typically affiliate links to sites like Amazon and so I may make a commission when you buy. Whether I get paid or not (on some things I don’t), it’s important to me to ensure that I stay objective and unbiased and give you my honest opinion so you can make an educated decision as to what’s best for you. You deserve that and I wouldn’t have it any other way. :)
