Dash cam update

Back in January 2014, I decided not to buy a dash cam after some testing of mounting proved a bit inconclusive. I sort of wanted one to monitor front and back.

Well, now WireCutter reports on a new dual-cam setup which seems promising:

The $375 Vico Marcus 5 is now available, and it is the first two-camera 1080p setup that is purported to work well. Techmoan reviewed it, and we will soon, too. Dual-cam setups are still only for very specialized use, but if you really want that security and hard-wiring two G1Ws isn’t an option, this is the first candidate dual we’ve seen that appears worthwhile.

The Techmoan reviewer mentioned one interesting thought about the Vico Marcus 5--why do Vico engineers not make two tiny cameras...that would allow users to put the base unit somewhere else, like the glove box? Then each camera only needs one wire, allowing for more inconspicuous placement.

So, promising, promising...and expensive.
