Hopefully I should have a new car within the next couple of weeks and would like to install a dash cam for further protection. Ideally, I'd like both front and rear cameras but from what I can see, most rear cameras that come as a set are not as good quality (the koonlung K1S isn't an option as I would have no access to the control box).

An option I have considered is buying a Nextbase 312gw and hard wire kit for the front and then possibly a Mobius action cam for the rear. I have chosen the next base as my insurerer, Adrian Flux, provides discount with one of these.

Alternatively, I could install 2 x Mobius, 1 front and 1 rear and not take insurance discount but know that I have proof of anything involved with.

What do you think would be best or is there a good 2 channel set?

Thanks
 
You shouldn't really need a rear camera, yes they can help paint a clearer picture if you are rear ended, but surely if someone goes up your bottom you'll see and hear the result of the impact from the front? based on this, I'd just worry about getting a front one for now. Pretty sure halfrauds are having a bank holiday sale on dashcams too.

Imagine how annoyed you'd be if you had a debatable accident that wasn't your fault while you were trying to find a camera set when you could have just purchased a nice one for the front and captured said accident.
 
Buy one of those mobile CCTV vans from the council and drive around in that. Can't be too careful.

If you go down this route, I'd consider hiring a camera car to follow you around - that way you get the best of both worlds by keeping your current car and having the security of video evidence in case of an incident.

Unfortunately there is no way to combine these two things.
