He usually does great in depth tests, but I was kinda disappointed with the lack of testing with these dash cams, along with his choice to review ultra cheap units. At the price points he was looking at, these were all basically using toy camera sensors, aside from the higher prices units.
But also the was so much more to test. Like if they would actually record during a crash impact, or glitch out? How much of a quality loss, if any, do multi channel cameras suffer even more cameras are recording? Etc.
This dude probably spent weeks making this video. Adding more units and more tests would be an endless battle.
Conventional wisdom when it comes to dashcams is that there’s pretty much a ceiling for quality. You can spend more money but you won’t get anymore quality. Kinda the same story as webcams.
Yeah I get that too. That’s why I thought it wasn’t worth his time to review those super low budget cameras. If you’re paying 30 bucks for one, you know it’s gonna be web cam sensor from 2010.
I don’t think you understood. The super low budget ones are the only ones worth buying. The expensive ones don’t have any improvement in quality.

Great points!
