One more dashcam that is included in the criteria for high end, is Street Guardian SG9663DC dual channel.

Using the Novatek 96663 Processor and the Sony IMX291 STARVIS CMOS Sensor for exceptional visuals.

The front and rear cameras are capable of recording in 1080p (full HD) at 30 fps.

Additional StarVis 1080P sensors with rear-side illumination are pinned for high-quality night vision.

This camera is available with a 64GB SD card but there is an option to upgrade to 128GB, 256GB or 400GB SD cards. Like most other cameras, the SG9663DC has loop recording, G sensors, and file protection.

Released in November 2017, the SG9663DC Street Guardian is a front & rear car camera that takes a different approach from its competitors, Street Guardian does not aim to embed as many advanced features as possible, such as Wi-Fi and cloud view:

But, they focus on reliability, usability, and image quality.

With a wedge-shaped design, this high-end dashcam may be for some drivers an unattractive dash cam, but lately, some dashcam have been made with the shape of a wedge, maybe this is a trending market.

A small 2.0 inch TFT screen may not help much. Viewing footage directly on the screen is definitely not the best way to use this dash camera.

However, one reason that makes this dashcam interesting about design is its compact size and dark color scheme, which makes this camera less flashy from the outside.

Street Guardian SG9663DC Feature

Street Guardian SG9663DC software and recording capabilities are truly extraordinary. The Novatek 96663 processor completes this dash cam and is equipped with the Sony Exmor Sensor (used for both cameras).

Street Guardian SG9663DC has 7 strong lens elements and an additional IR cut filter to provide the best quality, both during the day and night.

This processor is strong enough to withstand recording capabilities. Even though the environment is not light enough, the video recorded by the unit is extraordinary.

You can easily see all the details in a dark underground parking space, in the dark lane or outside your window when there is limited visibility outside.

GPS

For the GPS feature, it is available but with an external artificial one equipped with Ublox 720 made on the Switzerland chipset, obtaining signals very quickly, no matter whether you drive in a city or an area with less signal.

Street Guardian is popular with creating high-quality simple products that have clear goals. With Street Guardian SG9663DC, the main goal is to prioritize the quality of recordings.

Maybe the lack of features of this dashboard camera and makes it not a dashcam of premium products. However, perhaps many users will be amazed by the quality of the recording, ease of installation and ease of use.

Good technical support is also the reason why one dash cam is the best as a criterion. In terms of features, SG9663DC comes with large StarVis pixels, BSI capabilities (back side lights up), clips on CPL, Android USB card readers, 64GB SD card included, GPS registrar, and one year warranty.

This Dash cam has no built-in WiFi connection and there is no companion application to share your video without removing the SD card.

If this Wi-Fi feature is considered important, then maybe you will consider another camera that supports it. Although this feature is not needed, this feature is still good to have. Overall, this does not make or damage the camera

This dash cam does not have a g sensor for its parking mode, only for normal recording. Thus if something crashes into your car when the camera is parked, the camera will not feel it.

Maybe this is not a problem for certain people, but it could be when parking in a crowded place will encounter this problem.

For audio, it is also rather low when comparing Street Guardian with other cameras.
