Dash Cam
Looking for input/suggestions on a good, reliable dashcam that's easy to use, setup and won't break the bank.

After reading a ton of reviews I purchased 2 of these from Amazon a few years ago, they have worked flawlessly. It's currently $20 off at Amazon for $99.99, although I've seen them on sale for $79.99 in the past.
VIOFO A119 V3 2K Dash Cam 2560x1440P Quad HD+ Car Dash Camera, Ultra Clear Night Vision, 140-Degree Wide Angle, GPS Included, Buffered Parking Mode, True HDR, Motion Detection, G-Sensor, Time Lapse. I recently purchased 2 of these to use as rear cameras, one for my C5 and the other for my Mazada CX5:VIOFO Mini Dash Cam Front A119 Mini 2, STARVIS 2 Sensor, 2K 60fps/HDR 30fps Voice Control Car Dash Camera with 5GHz Wi-Fi GPS, Night Vision 2.0, 24H Parking Mode, Supercapacitor, Support 512GB. The Mini A119 2 has a $20 coupon on Amazon which brings it to $119.99. I purchased them during a flash sale for $99.99. Can't go wrong with either one.

I use my old cell phone as a dash cam and it works great.

I have the Escort Max 360 and considering upgrading. How does the dash cam video playback work with this unit?

Here in Cali you don't need any kind of cam if you are driving a red Corvette. You just get pulled over anyway. Ha
