Shop BlackVue DR590X-2CH
While it’s technically $3 over the $200 mark, the BlackVue DR970X-2CH is worth bending the budget for.

For about $200, you're getting crisp Full HD recording from both the front and rear, so you've got eyes all around. The Sony STARVIS sensor in the front camera is a nice touch, especially if you're driving a lot at night—it picks up those details even when the lighting isn't great.
The built-in Wi-Fi makes it super easy to grab your footage or tweak settings without fiddling with the camera itself. It’s all the essentials wrapped up in a clean package, and for the price, it does the job really well without overcomplicating things. Perfect for anyone who wants straightforward protection without breaking the bank.
