Hi does anyone know any good affordable dashcams? I have no idea what to look out for, I guess it needs to be HD.
Appreciate the help.

I bought a Vantrue R2 a long time ago, but never even installed it. Should've gotten a capacitor-based one instead for California summers.

Fixed that for you.
I need to browse that forum as well, though. I've been meaning to get a dashcam, as I have this fear in the back of my mind that someone might try insurance fraud on me one day like in all those youtube videos.

Same that is the reason why and the other reason because stupid drivers that park next to you and open the door like there's no tomorrow. How many freaking times have I seen this scenario in shopping centre car parks its unbelievable
They just open the door without looking I mean why dont they look? they can clearly see a car parked next to you but they dont care about the space between them so they go all out and hit you.

Yeah, that's why I usually park away from other people whenever possible. It's also a good way to squeeze in some extra steps for better health. It's amazing how many people hate walking a few extra steps (and I'm excluding people with medical conditions or other issues, obviously) that they'll camp out waiting for someone to vacate a spot near a mall, supermarket, or store.
Park away from the store, save your butt in two ways.

I saw that Anker makes one now. Tempted, but how do these prevent door dings anyway? Not sure how that related.
You can't always park in the back. Like at a small strip mall. Sometimes you just gotta park smart. Minivans have sliding doors so those are good candidates to park next to. Luxury cars are good too. Worse are the SUVs usually with kids in the back who swing doors open, and beaters.

I always park in the back of lot, or try to park smart if there is no way around parking next to someone. One time my wife was driving, pulled into an end spot next is an old POS F150, and DW parked biased over towards the truck, I told her to move over and park on the line opposite him, she said "It'll be fine" of course we come out to the worst door ding I've ever seen, and we weren't that close to him.
I now have a toddler daughter, so if she falls asleep in the car I'll wait in the car while my wife runs into a store, and I still park at the back of lot. After sitting in my car out there a lot, I always wonder how much safer it is, people drive like shit in parking lots and will go flying by my car do 45 less than a foot away from it. I've even had cars doing 30+ go right between me and a car two spots over.
I need to get a dash-cam too. Mostly because insurance companies are POSes. A few months ago some idiot smashed into the car behind me, which pushed that car into me and me into the car in front of me (He plowed into us going over 55, no attempt to stop). Anyways Safeco refused to cover us until we could prove we had not hit the car in front of us first, they would make no attempt to call the other driver, etc (the other driver was in a rental and I think they were just letting the rental company deal with it). Luckily I was able to get the other driver to call them and tell them I didn't hit them first.
I doubt I'd ever mess with going after someone for a door ding, but after dealing with Safeco, I've learned insurance companies will do everything to get out of paying you anything.
