Damn who's squeezing his nuts?!
Had to turn off the audio and use closed caption.

Some notes after using dashcams for years:
Capturing license plates is something even the best won't do in all conditions, so it's not a critical feature. It's good to read it aloud if there's any question about capturing it. Even a crappy picture establishes a lot about fault when it comes to insurance. I'd prioritize having front and rear cameras over a super-high-res front-only one (you can use a separate cheaper dashcam for the rear, doesn't have to be a dual-channel camera).
A big feature many get wrong is not making loud and persistent notification if there's no memory card inserted, or there's an error. So many just quietly show an alert, which you could easily miss. You also want to check clips on the card regularly to be sure it's really recording consistently.
Many have a parking mode that requires hardwiring, which isn't necessarily difficult. Some hardwire kits are just a small box that plugs into the OBD II port under the dash, with a wire that goes under the side molding up to the windshield.
Get a capacitor model if you live in a hot area, as the battery-based models will deteriorate or worse on hot days. I just take mine off the window when it's parked really hot (be sure yours has an easy disconnect).

Its all generic Chinese bullshit. I used to like this guy's videos when he featured real products that you might find in a hardware store. Now it seems that he just picks 10-15 random items on amazon.

I'd say it's not that guys fault most electronics are being produced in Chingkongia.
