What are the closest alternatives?

VIOFO A229 Pro — 3-channel 4K STARVIS 2
…GET THE WINNER · VIOFO A229 Pro — $309.99 · 69
Our top pick and the most complete kit here: per VIOFO, a 4K front camera on Sony's STARVIS 2 IMX678, a 2K rear on STARVIS 2 IMX675 and a 1080P infrared cabin camera, with HDR on all three and a supercapacitor instead of a battery. It costs more and is a bigger install than a front-and-rear kit, so the 70mai A510 is the value alternative if you don't need the cabin recorded.

70mai A510 — front + rear STARVIS 2
…SPEND LESS · 70mai A510 — $84.99 · 81
The value pick of the group: 2.7K (1944P) front on a STARVIS 2 IMX675 plus a 1080P rear for $84.99, with GPS and a 64GB card in the box. Optional 4G LTE remote features need 70mai's separate 4G hardwire kit and a cellular plan.

REDTIGER F7N — 4K front + 1080P rear
…CONSIDER · REDTIGER F7N — $129.99 · 82
The volume best-seller here, with 25k+ ratings: 4K front plus 1080P rear, WiFi and GPS in an affordable bundle. A wide 170° front lens is generous, though that width brings more edge distortion than the tighter VIOFO optics.

VIOFO A119 V3 — 2K single-channel
…CONSIDER · VIOFO A119 V3 — $119.99 · 80
A long-running enthusiast favorite: clean 1440P (2K) capture on a Sony STARVIS sensor with GPS, for buyers who only want a front camera done well. No screen-heavy gimmicks, just a reliable capacitor-based cam that tolerates heat.
