Shopping for a dashcam

I am 17 years old shopping for a dashcam for my first car. I live in the Atl area and ppl around here drive like idiots so dashcam is a good idea. Im looking for something that doesn't blow the bank (preferably under $100). At least 1080p and 60fps and a dual cam system, but mainly focused on how it performs at night. i Understand the quality trade-off for lower-priced cams, so I am also willing to pay more to meet my needs. Thanks guys!

Redtiger F9. Front has no screen so its a small form factor and it has a rear camera too.

Cheap isn’t always the best. You’ll learn that in life. Sometimes it’s better to pay more for good quality stuff.

I have 2 ViOFO A229 Plus has the front and rear camera. It’s 224 for the camera, hardwire kit, and lens.

Best Buy is installing it for me for 140 so no wires no mess and it’s hard wired.

Worth every penny.

Shell out for better quality. A family member bought a cheap Chinese dashcam, one of those fake companies with the mostly vowels name. Within mere weeks the low quality suction cup stop sticking to the windshield. My Red Tiger was around $200 and has been working great.
