Dashcam setup - going with a REDTIGER F7N-PLUS setup

[Toadster]

my wife was in a minor accident in our Explorer ST, rear-ending another car, of course without a dashcam she's at fault... even though the car in front of her caused the issue
what sucks now is we have a $500 deductible and 3 years of increased insurance... ordered this dash cam (a little late now) but at least will be around for the next *******...

wondered if anyone has a similar setup in their Raptor? If this goes well, I'll probably add one in the truck too!

here's the setup I'm going with:

anything is better than nothing. I don’t see any mention of heat tolerance, which will be a concern. it’s 2 channel, so seems like it should give some decent coverage.

Very nice for the price. Probably impossible to get American made if it has a wire hooked to it.

hmm good point, all i see on the site is 'Super Capacitor' Twice the service life of lithium battery, super capacitor is designed to withstand extreme temperatures without overheating, explosion and melting.

that would be better than (my) GoPro. I just managed to extract the ... rather chubby battery that had swollen due to heat. I thought it was a goner. The capacitor route is supposed to be better for heat but I cannot comment directly and will defer to the others here who run dash cams. For me it was... maybe 10 days after getting my Rap. I’m rollin’ while the right lane next to me, see me and be hatin’. So one dip shït female pulled out of line - I’m doing a steady 40mph, we’re signed 45 and there’s maybe 3-ish car lengths between me and the 12 o’clock. Ho. Lee. Shít, I thought for sure she was getting punted by the Rap, but to my amazement, the truck slowed enough to avoid a collision.

Selfish bítch. I do NOT miss NoVA traffic.

-4 to 158 deg/f is not bad.
