Top 5 Budget Dash Cams for 2020 📷 My Best Picks After Tons of Testing

I share my best value picks for dashcams between $35 and $110. These cameras were chosen after extensive research and hands-on testing. We looked closely at reliability, video quality and functionality versus their price and intended use to come up with our 5 picks.

🌟 UPDATE: Feb 16, 2021 🌟
70mai's Pro & Pro-Plus is my new cheap pick. It has the same 1440P video quality as the Viofo A119V3 for $60. The only downsides are the battery, poor customer service, and WiFi app issues. If you don't live somewhere hot this is definitely a camera to consider. https://youtu.be/A6Wg4HMHKJ8 The BlueSkySea B1W has been removed from my top picks.

OUR TOP DASHCAM PICKS & WHERE TO GET THEM
I've purchased all dash cams and accessories since 2017. No paid reviews here. When you buy using some links below, we may earn some money at no cost to you.

1️⃣ VIOFO A119V3 — Best Budget Camera
Great for drivers who want excellent day and night video quality and all the essentials you need in a dashcam. Great customer service through their retailer OCD Tronic. I recommend getting the polarizing filter to reduce glare.

2️⃣ 70MAI PRO & PRO PLUS | Best Value 1440P Dash Cams
The new value king for 2021, 70mai’s Pro cameras deliver amazing 1440P video quality with all the features I think are important for only $60. For most people who aren't in a hot environment and OK with bad customer service / WiFi app, this will be the better value over the 1080P cameras below.

3️⃣ ANKER ROAV A1 — Top Cheap Pick
One of the best cheap dash cams under $55. The A1's combination of good video quality, useful features like WiFi and backed by a worldwide warranty makes the A1 hard to beat. The downside is its use of lithium-ion batteries making it a bad choice for hot environments.

BLUESKYSEA B1W
Not on my "top picks" list anymore. Still a good camera: capacitors, video quality and a good 18-moth warranty but it's no longer as special as it was before.

4️⃣ Aukey DRA5 & DR01/DR02 & DR02J — Hot Weather Picks
Our picks for hot climates as they are the only cameras with capacitors and a 2-year warranty. They aren’t specifically designed for hot weather but they are built decently.

⚠️ Amazon has removed Aukey for review fraud on May 11th, 20201. There is no news on when / if Aukey will be able to return.

• DRA5 Replaces the DRA1 with great night video quality) https://amzn.to/3jtIJwh

• DRO2 (Good 1080P, +$10 for a Wedge Shape): https://geni.us/AukeyDR02_Amazon
• DR02J (1440P Quality): https://geni.us/AukeyDR02J

5️⃣ VIOFO A119V2 — 1440P Value Pick
Still a great pick - if you can find it. After many years Viofo has ended its production and is solely focused on selling the A119V3 https://youtu.be/H4f2HWs_gpc

💽 64GB SAMSUNG PRO ENDURANCE — Best Memory Card for Dash Cams
It helps your camera stay running as it’s tougher than the typical card you’ll buy and helps reduce data corruption.
