Uber Driver Dashcam Review

0:00 | I get asked all the time what my dash

0:02 | camera setup is and when I looked around

0:04 | YouTube I figured out why there’s not a

0:06 | lot of videos out there breaking down

0:08 | what exactly you need if you want to

0:10 | record inside the car I saw a lot of

0:12 | videos regarding forward-facing dash

0:15 | cameras but that’s not going to help you

0:16 | if you have a passenger in your car

0:18 | that’s acting a fool plus a lot of this

0:20 | comes down to personal preference so I

0:21 | wanted to make a video just explaining

0:23 | what it is that I look for when I’m

0:25 | looking for a camera that I can record

0:27 | inside my vehicle I’ve been using Dash

0:30 | camers religiously for shoot almost a

0:32 | decade now 95% of the content on my

0:35 | channel is dash cam footage so I’m very

0:37 | familiar with this equipment now I’m not

0:39 | going to waste your time talking about

0:40 | camera specs and image processors and

0:43 | what company owns what like this guy did

0:46 | the major player is Taiwanese fabulous

0:48 | semiconductor manufacturer novatech they

0:50 | also make camera s so’s like the nt96650

0:56 | look at these default folder structures

0:59 | okay nerd no for real that guy actually

1:01 | did an amazing job breaking everything

1:04 | down from a technical standpoint and if

1:06 | that’s the kind of information you’re

1:07 | looking for I’m going to link his video

1:09 | in the description but the short of it

1:10 | is most dash cameras are using pretty

1:12 | much the same technology and the

1:14 | differences in them has to come down

1:16 | with marketing that said there are

1:17 | functional features like the display or

1:19 | the mount that I’m going to talk about

1:21 | in this video that as an Uber and lift

1:23 | driver and somebody that likes to record

1:25 | in the car is very important to me and

1:27 | I’m going to start with the number one

1:29 | most important thing that everybody

1:31 | who’s interested in a dash camera needs

1:33 | to know and nobody ever seems to talk

1:35 | about and then after that I have a total

1:37 | of I think 10 dash cameras that I’m

1:39 | going to cover and I think it should be

1:41 | noted that even though I’ve been looking

1:43 | for dash camera sponsorship ever since

1:45 | the day that this channel was created

1:47 | not a single company out there has

1:49 | realized what a match made in heaven

1:51 | this would be so this video is not

1:53 | sponsored or biased in any way my

1:55 | opinion is not tainted by any company

1:57 | that wants me to say a certain thing

1:59 | after going through each dash camera

2:01 | that I have I’ll give my personal

2:02 | recommendation as well as a little

2:04 | moneysaving tip when shopping for dash

2:06 | camers the most important thing you want

2:09 | to look for when getting a dash camera

2:11 | that no one ever seems to mention and

2:13 | this goes for everybody not just Uber

2:15 | and lift drivers but anybody looking for

2:17 | a dash camera is the memory card unlike

2:20 | every girlfriend I’ve ever had I’m not

2:22 | going to lie to you just to make you

2:23 | feel better size does matter and here’s

2:27 | why almost every dash camera records on

2:29 | a loop honestly ly if you have a dash

2:30 | camera that doesn’t record on a loop I

2:32 | would suggest getting a new dash camera

2:34 | so when the memory card fills up it just

2:36 | goes back to the beginning and starts

2:38 | recording over the oldest footage so say

2:40 | you started driving Uber on Friday and

2:42 | then by Saturday night your memory card

2:44 | is full what it’s going to do is start

2:46 | recording the new footage over that

2:48 | Friday footage of course almost all dash

2:50 | cams give you the ability to lock a file

2:53 | and save it without going to your

2:55 | computer first but it’s an annoying

2:57 | process and on top of that every time

2:59 | you lock a file it takes up space on

3:01 | that memory card so if you lock up too

3:04 | many files you’re just not going to have

3:05 | room to record more videos on that note

3:08 | can we take a moment of silence for all

3:09 | the great pieces of content that I lost

3:12 | because I was using a 16 gig memory card

3:14 | and it got recorded over don’t be like

3:16 | me and Miss opportunities because it was

3:18 | too small that’s what she said of course

3:21 | the natural follow-up question of that

3:23 | is how long do different memory cards

3:25 | give you to record I can’t give you an

3:27 | exact number because it’s all based on

3:29 | the settings of your camera are you

3:31 | recording in 4k or 1080p or 5 minute

3:34 | Loops or one minute Loops if you’re

3:36 | using a rear camera or not so all these

3:38 | kind of things factor into it I will say

3:40 | when I did use a 16 gig memory card it

3:42 | gave me about 90 minutes when I used a

3:45 | 64 gig I was good for an entire night

3:47 | and 128 gig I was good for about a

3:50 | weekend and that’s being conservative

3:52 | right now I have a 256 gig card and if

3:55 | you guys saw the video where I work the

3:56 | entire week of Thanksgiving I used just

3:59 | that one single card during the making

4:01 | of that video and I still had room left

4:03 | over long story long avoid a 16 gig card

4:06 | like the plue and one of the first

4:08 | things I would do when I do get a dash

4:09 | camera and a memory card to go with it

4:11 | is take note of how long it takes until

4:13 | it fills up so if you know that you got

4:15 | 12 hours of space on your memory card

4:18 | and something in your car happens that

4:19 | you want to save just know that you

4:21 | better get to a computer before that 12

4:23 | hours is up otherwise make sure to lock

4:25 | the file you want to make sure whatever

4:27 | dash camera you do get is compatible

4:29 | with the memory card that you want to

4:31 | match it with okay so now that you know

4:33 | the most important thing about getting a

4:36 | dash camera the top two features that

4:38 | you’re going to want with a dash camera

4:40 | as an Uber lift driver above anything

4:42 | else is an interior cabin camera with

4:44 | infrared lights AKA night vision and

4:47 | also the ability to record audio but I

4:49 | would rather sit in the front though go

4:51 | for it wait smell my

4:54 | pants I’ll just uh they smell like fish

4:58 | that said be wary of the most popular

5:00 | Dash can recommendation I see all over

5:03 | the place I don’t know what it is people

5:05 | either love this thing or it’s the

5:07 | craziest marketing push in the world but

5:09 | that’s the a119 it’s only $99 and don’t

5:12 | get me wrong the video quality is great

5:14 | and the specs that come along with it as

5:16 | well the guy from that video earlier

5:18 | recommended I think it ranked on Forbes

5:20 | list as a number one and I was even

5:22 | super surprised to see lackluster

5:24 | recommended this as the best dash camera

5:26 | to get don’t get me wrong it’s a good

5:28 | dash camera but it’s forward facing only

5:30 | that’s why I was surprised that

5:31 | lackluster a Copwatch channel would

5:34 | recommend getting a dash camera that

5:36 | doesn’t record inside the car I mean the

5:38 | interior cabin camera is not only good

5:40 | for Uber and lift drivers when a rider

5:42 | is acting up but there are plenty other

5:44 | instances where the interior cabin

5:46 | camera can come in handy one of which

5:49 | being a cop saying that you were doing

5:51 | something that you were not and I swear

5:53 | this isn’t a Shameless self- plug I just

5:55 | got to shout out everybody who grabbed a

5:57 | copy of my book and knows how this part

5:59 | particular situation really hits home

6:02 | for me I just took my seat belt off as a

6:06 | habites yeah I just took this off just

6:08 | so you know I wasn’t driving without

6:12 | a huh that’s the reason you’re being no

6:15 | I just took it off so before we get to

6:17 | the options with interior cameras just

6:19 | for the sake of being thorough here’s

6:21 | the side by side of the three dash

6:23 | cameras I have that are only forward

6:25 | facing one is the $40 AR phase one is

6:29 | the the $100 highly touted a119 and the

6:33 | other is the $200 S1 Pro from vanre I

6:36 | will say the a119 as well as the S1 does

6:40 | have GPS so if you have a fleet of cars

6:42 | for a business or maybe a teenager that

6:45 | you want to keep an eye on the a119

6:47 | could be a solid option so that you can

6:49 | see where the car goes I actually

6:51 | remember meeting a woman in my Uber who

6:53 | had a cleaning business and she had lent

6:55 | her car to one of her employees for the

6:57 | weekend in order to get to the cleaning

6:59 | job well when the car came back it had

7:02 | like five times as many miles on it as

7:04 | she expected so a situation like that

7:06 | having a camera with GPS on it could

7:09 | come in handy now as I go through the

7:10 | rest of these options all of which have

7:12 | interior cameras I’m going to talk about

7:14 | some of the other features I look for or

7:16 | don’t look for when I’m looking for a

7:18 | dash can I know for some people this

7:19 | will be helpful and for others it might

7:21 | be unnecessary but I want to do this to

7:24 | display the functionality of the camera

7:26 | like how the mic you just heard on the

7:27 | N5 sounds different than the Mike you he

7:30 | on the N4 also please note that the

7:32 | prices I mentioned are just a general

7:34 | price range one thing I’ve noticed

7:36 | during this project is how often dash

7:38 | cam prices changes and again make sure

7:40 | you stick around till the end so I can

7:42 | give you a crazy moneysaving hack that I

7:45 | discovered during this project and no

7:47 | it’s not an ad or affiliate marketing

7:50 | it’s just a shopping theory that I

7:52 | concocted myself coming in at the

7:53 | cheapest we got the van true N2 Pro

7:56 | which is the camera I used when I

7:58 | started the channel it comes in around

8:00 | 135 bucks again give or take it’s not

8:03 | going to be the best quality mainly when

8:05 | there’s not ideal lighting conditions

8:07 | but is by no means bad quality a couple

8:10 | of years ago I upgraded to the van true

8:12 | N4 and if I had to do it all over again

8:14 | I just would have stuck with the N2 when

8:16 | it comes to dash cameras you have to

8:18 | understand a lot of the pricing has to

8:19 | do with features that you might not care

8:21 | about and for me even though this camera

8:23 | doesn’t have GPS or Wi-Fi those features

8:25 | don’t really matter to me the other

8:27 | budget camera I have is the X ing V3 and

8:31 | that’s what I’m talking to right now

8:33 | priced at $150 it’s the next cheapest

8:36 | camera on our list but don’t confuse it

8:38 | as a cheap camera it’s just cheaper than

8:40 | the other options I have and I’ll say it

8:42 | twice because it’s worth repeating in

8:44 | the dash cam World increase in price

8:47 | does not always correlate to the same

8:49 | increase in quality and this camera has

8:51 | everything you need plus Wi-Fi and GPS

8:54 | logging in my opinion the image quality

8:56 | isn’t the greatest but again it’s on the

8:58 | lower end of the budget coming in at

9:00 | $170 the lingo LD o2- cam also has Wi-Fi

9:06 | and GPS for those starting on Square One

9:09 | Wi-Fi makes it possible to connect your

9:11 | camera to an app on your phone and you

9:13 | can easily see and share the videos that

9:15 | you’ve recorded GPS of course can track

9:17 | your trips but more importantly for dash

9:19 | cam purposes it allows the camera to

9:21 | document how fast you were going so say

9:24 | a cop pulls you over and says you were

9:26 | speeding you have evidence that proves

9:28 | otherwise wise whether you can use that

9:30 | in court I’m not a lawyer but I do have

9:32 | personal experience where a cop has

9:34 | accused me of doing one thing and then

9:35 | when I mention that I have a dash camera

9:37 | his memory gets a little more in tune

9:39 | with what actually happened so lingu I

9:42 | never heard of this brand before I love

9:44 | the display it almost looks like you

9:46 | know an old school uh what what do you

9:49 | call those cameras you know like the

9:51 | kind of cameras girls used to carry

9:52 | around in college before iPhones were a

9:54 | thing um like a digital camera the

9:57 | picture looks great from this screen

9:58 | here I like like that the screen’s big

10:00 | it’s like a middle middle of the pack

10:03 | price next option up coming in somewhere

10:05 | between $140 and $190 more on that price

10:09 | range later when I share my Super

10:11 | Shopper pack to save you a ton of money

10:13 | is the aomi m550 this camera also has

10:17 | Wi-Fi and GPS now me personally when I’m

10:19 | looking for a dash camera are those

10:21 | features must havs for me not at all in

10:24 | my 10 years of using dash cams I’ve

10:26 | never needed those features for me I’m a

10:28 | simpley I just want decent quality and a

10:31 | camera to protect me in case something

10:32 | goes wrong in my Uber and of course a

10:35 | way to record audio which this camera

10:37 | does not do a good job of the screen

10:39 | looks like it has that uh old school

10:42 | infrared and when I say old school I

10:44 | mean like when I first started recording

10:46 | uh where it comes up kind of purple add

10:49 | that to the fact that this is the second

10:51 | model of the m550 that I have because

10:53 | the first one just wouldn’t power on and

10:56 | while making this video some of the

10:57 | recording just cut out and just to make

10:59 | sure I wasn’t totally unlucky I saw a

11:01 | couple reviews of Amazon of people

11:03 | saying the same thing point is it’s not

11:05 | super reliable and even more than

11:08 | quality I need reliability because you

11:10 | never know when a rider is going to

11:11 | start acting crazy so yeah the m550 is

11:14 | not a camera that I would recommend next

11:16 | up is the vanre M4 Pro now to be clear

11:19 | the only reason I don’t recommend it is

11:21 | because if I’m going to spend money for

11:23 | the N4 I’d rather spend a little more

11:25 | and get the N5 or I’d save money and get

11:28 | the N2 but at the end of the day it’s a

11:30 | good camera part of the reason I

11:31 | personally don’t like it is there’s

11:33 | something about the picture that just

11:35 | seems like animation to me you can see

11:37 | it here compared to the N5 but again if

11:40 | you’ve been watching my channel as of

11:41 | late this is the camera I’ve been using

11:43 | including using it for the main

11:45 | narration angle for this video as I

11:47 | display the

11:49 | $390 a139 from Vio I want to note one of

11:53 | the two specs that I couldn’t care less

11:56 | about and that’s the parking camera I

11:58 | think every single one of these cameras

12:00 | has that feature to some extent but I

12:02 | never use it and here’s why for the

12:04 | parking camera to work you need to

12:06 | constantly power the camera which means

12:08 | connecting it to your battery I know

12:10 | it’s built to not drain the battery but

12:12 | I have a 10-year-old Honda with 200,000

12:14 | mil on it and seemingly a mind of its

12:16 | own so on the off chance that it poers

12:19 | on and doesn’t cut out the risk of

12:20 | draining my battery is not worth the

12:22 | reward of capturing the one in a million

12:24 | piece of footage I get of somebody

12:26 | hitting my car I mean I’ve owned a car

12:28 | for almost 20 years now and the only

12:30 | time I could think of a parking camera

12:32 | coming in handy were the three times

12:34 | that my car was broken into but had I

12:36 | had a dash camera I would assume those

12:38 | people would have stolen the camera as

12:40 | well I always thought the parking camera

12:41 | feature was just marketing hike like

12:43 | what some guy riding a bike is going to

12:45 | take off my side view mirror and if I

12:47 | turn over the video footage to the cops

12:49 | the Philly PD is going to ignore the 400

12:51 | murders we clocked in last year and put

12:53 | out an APB to catch the biker Bandit

12:56 | better chance of the Eagles winning the

12:57 | World Series the way I see it it’s one

12:59 | of those things where I think it’s

13:01 | better not to know I got enough things

13:03 | going on to worry about I don’t need to

13:04 | stress about what happens to my car when

13:07 | I’m not in it now what you’re looking at

13:08 | on the screen right now is the a229 pro

13:12 | this is probably the best forward-facing

13:13 | camera that I have and I just want to

13:15 | show you the difference between this and

13:17 | the N4 and I know it sounds like I’m

13:19 | bashing the N4 every chance I get but

13:22 | that’s not it at all I’m comparing it to

13:24 | the N4 here because the N4 is a solid

13:27 | camera that cost2 $60 and despite that

13:31 | look at the difference in how it

13:32 | processes the building pH exposed to the

13:35 | sun if you’re not picking up what I’m

13:36 | putting down let me put it this way in

13:38 | real life this is not a white building I

13:41 | actually don’t have the interior camera

13:42 | for the a229 pro and I’m going to steal

13:45 | a video from this channel to show the

13:47 | comparison and before I do I want to

13:49 | reiterate that my goal with this video

13:51 | is to show you what I look for when I’m

13:53 | trying to record in my car my

13:55 | recommendation is obviously going to be

13:57 | limited to the cameras that I I have but

13:59 | I hope that sharing my thought process

14:01 | can help you make an informed decision

14:02 | yourself and I’d highly recommend

14:04 | looking at other channels like safe

14:06 | drive solutions the dash cam specialist

14:09 | that have an extensive library of

14:11 | comparisons and tests for just about any

14:14 | camera you may be interested in now

14:16 | between the a139 and the a222 from rifo

14:19 | at the end of the day both of these

14:21 | cameras are spectacular and in my

14:23 | opinion there wasn’t a noticeable

14:24 | difference in the mics they both work

14:26 | great but I wanted to show this video to

14:28 | display the difference that image

14:30 | sensors make the a139 has a little

14:33 | better sensors so you can see the

14:34 | picture looks a lot smoother thing is

14:36 | though call me crazy but I kind of like

14:39 | the contrast that the lower quality

14:40 | sensor on the a229 provides granted it’s

14:43 | still a high quality sensor it’s much

14:45 | better than the crazy contrast that the

14:47 | rexing displayed got me looking like

14:49 | Casper but I don’t know when I see the

14:51 | light on his face to me that makes it

14:53 | look a little more realistic point is

14:55 | just because something is more expensive

14:57 | or newer doesn’t NE necessarily mean

14:59 | that you’ll like it better so again it

15:01 | comes down to personal preference now

15:03 | before I share with you my personal

15:04 | recommendation for a dash camera and my

15:06 | money sharing hack here is the most

15:09 | expensive dash camera that I personally

15:11 | own the $400 van true N5 and as you’re

15:15 | seeing its functionality I want to talk

15:16 | about the second feature that almost

15:18 | every camera advertises but I personally

15:21 | have no use for it and that’s the rear

15:23 | camera you can’t live life looking

15:25 | through the rear view man life’s about

15:27 | the road ahead for though the main

15:29 | reason I never hooked up the rear camera

15:31 | is work first for Roar there’s literally

15:33 | only one time that I wish I had rear

15:35 | camera footage and that’s to see how

15:37 | close this suspect and cop chasing him

15:39 | were to clipping me on a bridge going 90

15:42 | M an hour so to install that wiring all

15:44 | the way to the back of the car the added

15:46 | space it would take on my memory card

15:48 | and the added files to sort through when

15:50 | I’m looking for footage again it might

15:52 | sound trivial but over time it adds up

15:55 | and of course this is a personal

15:56 | preference so ask yourself of all all

15:58 | the times that you’ve been driving how

16:00 | many times do you wish you had video

16:02 | footage of what was happening behind you

16:05 | if that’s something you think you’d want

16:07 | fortunately almost every camera comes

16:09 | with a rear camera so just hook that

16:11 | baby up but I have to reiterate you’ll

16:13 | be recording three cameras all on the

16:15 | same memory card so I’d recommend

16:18 | getting the biggest memory card that

16:20 | your camera can take now before I get to

16:22 | my recommendation the last thing that I

16:23 | want to talk about has to do with the

16:25 | Wi-Fi feature I used to think that the

16:27 | Wi-Fi feature was an added layer

16:29 | security and that it meant that your

16:30 | footage was accessible via the cloud no

16:32 | matter what happened to your camera for

16:34 | instance some jerk steals your car and

16:36 | your camera you can just go home and

16:39 | access the files online turns out I was

16:41 | way wrong you only have access to the

16:43 | files if your phone is within Wi-Fi

16:46 | range of the camera which is usually 10

16:49 | yards or so now you could get access to

16:51 | lost or stolen camera files if you get a

16:54 | dash cam that offers cloud-based

16:56 | Services none the companies in this

16:57 | video offer that that service as of now

17:00 | though I did read that vanre is planning

17:02 | on coming out with it soon if those are

17:04 | Services you think you want I suggest

17:06 | looking at a black view or think wear

17:08 | dash camera it should be noted that on

17:10 | top of the dash camera cost those

17:12 | Services require a storage plan raging

17:14 | from as low as $3 a month to as high as

17:17 | 20 and that’s too rich for my blood

17:19 | especially given the fact that I’ve used

17:21 | dash cameras for almost 10 years now and

17:23 | I’ve never actually needed it but of

17:25 | course it is definitely one of those

17:27 | things where you don’t want it until you

17:29 | need it now before I give my

17:30 | recommendation I just want to remind

17:31 | people that you’re not going to shoot a

17:33 | cinematic Masterpiece with a dash camera

17:35 | inside of a car just the technical

17:37 | aspects of the lighting and the audio

17:40 | problems that come with it make it an

17:41 | absolute nightmare as long as you have

17:43 | an interior cabin camera with infrared

17:45 | lights AKA night vision and the ability

17:48 | to record audio and remember a big

17:50 | memory card you’re going to have what

17:52 | you need as for me here’s my

17:54 | recommendation by process of elimination

17:56 | right away the a139 9 is out because it

17:59 | doesn’t have a display some people might

18:01 | like that because it makes the camera a

18:03 | little more Incognito but me personally

18:06 | I like my Riders knowing that there’s a

18:08 | camera in the car in my experience If

18:11 | someone knows they’re being recorded to

18:13 | begin with they’re less likely to act a

18:15 | fool and even if you aren’t getting a

18:16 | camera for Gig work no display means

18:18 | that you have to operate this camera via

18:21 | the app and I hate that it’s just one

18:23 | more thing you got to worry about plus

18:25 | with the high price point that’s a hard

18:26 | pass for me or is it Easy Pass I never I

18:29 | always get them for fuse like it’s easy

18:31 | for me to say no to it but it’s it’s

18:33 | like it’s like an exclamation No like a

18:36 | hard no whatever it is it’s not for me

18:39 | but it is a great camera now there’s one

18:40 | feature I haven’t covered yet that’s

18:42 | going to eliminate all but three cameras

18:44 | and that has to do with the mount a lot

18:46 | of dash cameras only allow you to adjust

18:48 | it back and forth the van trueu and Lind

18:51 | do however have a swivel Mount that way

18:53 | if you see something on the side of the

18:55 | road and you want to turn the camera it

18:57 | allows you to do that so that leaves the

18:59 | three van trus and the Ling do I already

19:01 | told you the N4 is not for me now the

19:04 | Ling do doesn’t allow you to move the

19:06 | interior camera and I could go either

19:08 | way with that it means if a cop comes to

19:10 | your window you can’t turn it but the

19:12 | downside with the van Truse is that both

19:14 | of the cameras are on the same swivel so

19:16 | basically if you turn the camera to

19:18 | catch something on the left outside

19:20 | you’re turning the camera on the inside

19:22 | to the right and you’re going to lose

19:23 | some of that visibility either way

19:25 | you’re going to miss something so again

19:27 | it comes down to personal preference and

19:28 | the way I see it picking one of these

19:30 | three is like recommending a hammer or a

19:33 | screwdriver as long as you have a tool

19:35 | that gets the job done it really doesn’t

19:37 | matter the N2 Pro doesn’t have Wi-Fi or

19:39 | GPS and the quality isn’t the best but

19:42 | it’s good enough I mean eight of my top

19:44 | 10 videos were shot with the N2 so

19:46 | people obviously don’t mind the quality

19:49 | that it gives you and it is the cheapest

19:50 | of the three that I’m down to so if

19:52 | you’re just looking for a simple dash

19:54 | camera with good quality on a budget I’d

19:56 | get this one but be warned the Mount is

19:58 | a suction cup and it’s going to wear on

20:00 | you over time I do recommend taking the

20:02 | camera down when you park and maybe

20:04 | keeping a scarf or a t-shirt underneath

20:06 | it to cushion the fall because it will

20:08 | fall especially when it’s super hot or

20:10 | super cold out vantre has always been

20:12 | great when I reached out and let them

20:13 | know that the suction cup wasn’t

20:15 | suctioning anymore and they sent me a

20:17 | new one the Ling do is a little more

20:18 | pricey at $200 but you’ll get Wi-Fi GPS

20:22 | and a better display and a better Mount

20:24 | it’s not a suction cup it’s a sticky

20:26 | that said make sure you pick the right

20:28 | spot before you mount it because it’s a

20:30 | pain in the butt to get these stickies

20:32 | off I know suction cup mounts get a bad

20:34 | wrap because they lose their strength

20:36 | over time and the camera Falls but I

20:38 | like them because they’re easy to change

20:40 | placements and you can easily use them

20:42 | in different cars I’m dreading getting

20:45 | all these sticky mounts off it’s going

20:46 | to take at least an afternoon because I

20:49 | don’t know what kind of glue they use

20:50 | but I swear it’s like cement more of the

20:53 | story if you do get a camera with a

20:54 | sticky Mount make sure you hang it right

20:56 | the first time especially if it doesn’t

20:58 | have a swivel you don’t want a crooked

21:00 | frame I’ll link another video in the

21:02 | description that I had to look up just

21:04 | to get these mounts off I legit had to

21:06 | use a whole carton of dental flaws

21:08 | finally the vanre N5 has everything you

21:11 | want a dash camera great quality GPS

21:13 | WiFi a sticky swivel Mount the thing is

21:16 | as I mentioned it’s $400 remember to

21:19 | stick around to the end to learn how to

21:21 | bring that price down I know it might

21:22 | sound like a cop out but I’m going to

21:24 | recommend all three based on what you’re

21:26 | comfortable spending to me that’s what

21:28 | it comes down to when deciding between

21:30 | these three cameras I mean sure the N5

21:32 | is better quality than the N2 but is it

21:35 | $300 better quality I don’t think so but

21:38 | then again some people are into those

21:40 | specs like GPS and Wi-Fi at the same

21:43 | time if you’re willing to sacrifice on

21:45 | quality but you want those specs I would

21:47 | go with the Ling do at $200 and if

21:49 | you’re just looking to get the job done

21:50 | you just want to cover your bases and

21:52 | save as much money as possible go with

21:54 | the vanre N2 Pro you’re not going to go

21:56 | wrong with that but on that topic of

21:58 | saving money Pete this now it’s just a

22:00 | theory and I don’t shop enough to know

22:03 | whether or not this is common knowledge

22:04 | by now but in the days of doing this

22:06 | project forgive me the weeks this was

22:08 | the hardest freaking project I ever did

22:10 | in my life I kept checking the Amazon

22:13 | product pages to make sure that I got

22:15 | the specs right as I’m writing the

22:17 | script what I noticed was every time I

22:19 | went back to Amazon the offer that they

22:21 | were giving me was cheaper than it was

22:24 | before my theory is the algorithm

22:26 | thought that I was interested in buying

22:28 | a dash camera and they kept inching the

22:30 | price down much like if you were at a

22:32 | garage sale and the sellers trying to

22:34 | bring the price down to get you to take

22:36 | it and when I thought about it the same

22:37 | thing happened when I was trying to buy

22:39 | sneakers around the holidays but I just

22:41 | thought it was holiday deals because I

22:43 | don’t commit to anything until Christmas

22:45 | Eve so to make sure I wasn’t imagining

22:47 | things I tested this Theory with a

22:48 | camera that would have to be free before

22:50 | I bought it the m550 if you don’t

22:53 | remember it had bad audio and it was not

22:55 | reliable anyway the initial price I saw

22:58 | was

22:59 | $170 the next time I searched was $160

23:03 | with the coupon the day after that

23:06 | $150 after a coupon day after that $140

23:10 | with a nice little tease of a list price

23:12 | of $190 which I didn’t see once but wait

23:16 | there’s more I searched again and I got

23:18 | an ad for

23:20 | $120 with a coupon this obviously isn’t

23:23 | just for cameras you can apply the

23:24 | driver ed search wait and save method to

23:27 | save money literally anytime you shop I

23:30 | searched for this sneaker literally 5

23:32 | minutes apart and you can tell it’s the

23:33 | same listing because they have the same

23:35 | number of reviews the way these

23:37 | sponsored products works on Amazon is

23:39 | the same way that AdSense works or

23:41 | Facebook ads works these companies

23:43 | basically bid for placement and it’s up

23:45 | to the platform to decide what ad to put

23:48 | in front of what viewer in order to make

23:50 | that ad effective and it makes sense

23:52 | Amazon isn’t going to pitch a deal for a

23:54 | camera for $100 and then the next time

23:56 | you visit pitch a deal for that same

23:58 | camera for more money they’ll always

24:00 | show you the ads with the highest price

24:02 | first and then get cheaper because think

24:04 | about the reverse if you didn’t buy it

24:06 | at 100 you’re not going to buy it at 120

24:08 | but you might buy it at 80 so to test my

24:10 | new Theory I signed into a different

24:12 | browser and used a different account and

24:14 | lo and behold the prices I saw reflected

24:17 | the prices on day one of the project as

24:19 | I’m looking at discounted prices at the

24:21 | very same time on the very same computer

24:24 | just on a different browser on the

24:26 | account that the algorithm re recogniz

24:28 | me in I’m on to you Bezos long story

24:30 | long the algorithm’s trying to figure

24:32 | out what price it can get you to bite so

24:35 | if you’re interested in a camera the

24:37 | longer you wait and the more that you

24:39 | shop around the better deals that

24:41 | they’re going to offer you let me know

24:42 | in the comments if you think I’m crazy

24:44 | or if you’ve seen that as well until

24:46 | next time here are two videos where my

24:48 | dash camera caught my Riders stealing

24:51 | from me both of these were shot with the

24:53 | N4 which I do not recommend thanks for

24:55 | watching and just to make sure I just

24:57 | was and just to make sure I wasn’t just

25:00 | oh see this what I’m talking about
