Not really a deal from them, but I get it support local businesses. | It's true that blackbox prices may not always be the absolute cheapest but in my dealings with them over the years they are a highly rated local shop and the ability to deal with them locally should something happen over the difference of just $10 is a no brainer. Alex and his staff have always been fantastic. No I don't work for them but I have bought 2 cameras from them before + 1 install for a front and rear 2 channel.

if it can make out the make and color of the car for rear channel, that's good enough for me
hopefully the front ch is good enough to capture the license plate

This Friday, Bestbuy is going to sell 128gb microSD Samsung evo plus for $35. If I recall correctly, normally 128gb cards are over $40. Can anyone confirm if this is a good deal?

Just a heads up, at my local Best Buy they told me they're only holding items that were "reserve in store" for that day, not 24 hours like the site says. I'm not sure if the whole chain is doing that but it's something to keep in mind.

I'm probably gonna pick one up unless I can find a good sale for a phone+dataplan (my current plan isn't very good. Not a contract though).

Not really a deal from them, but I get it support local businesses. | Thanks guys! Another question is if it says 16GB SD Card in the title of the item for example. Could I put let say a 64GB or higher?

edit:
i just learned that you need to completely format it every few months

I think Toshiba is pretty much dead. The big brands right now are Samsung, LG, Sony, and Vizio. May have misses one or 2 brands. For the best PQ you want a oled. LG seams to be really popular. For the best bang for the buck go Vizio. They make some really good TV's.

Sandisk - FAIL
Samsung 128gig EVO PLUS 100mb/sec - after 6 months, card corruption
Lexar 64gig 633X - after a little over a year of continuous writes, corruption.
ADATA 32gig - works when needed (used as a backup)
Blackvue 16gig - too small but works as needed
Kingston 128gig - FAIL

Just convenience, UNLESS they're doing half price on installation then I'd say killer deal.

look to stretch your budget into an OLED if you can. If you cant, Sony/Samsung/Vizio as mentioned, and buy 4k. 4k is the standard these days and its stupid at these price points not to get into it.
