    So came back to my truck after the weekend and someone backed into my truck. And my dash cam did not catch it. No cameras in the truck stop lot. So I'm looking for the best system I can get. This one incident is gonna cost me over 6k. So its well worth it. I've been looking at falcon eye and diesel boss systems. Are there any others? Anyone have experience with these?

    Use the search function. Someone has posted about a multi cam system, but I don’t remember who.

    Seems to work good. I got one on each mirror facing back and one facing forward just above the dash so it captures my point of view. Haven’t had any issues to look back at so haven’t messed with the play back side of it much.

    I have the Falcon 4 cam system with a 9” Monitor that I really like, especially when backing up. I own my trailer and have the fourth cam on the back of the trailer. I had a system very similar to the Falcon that lasted roughly 4.5 years until I decided to replace it due to minor issues with it. I paid approximately $600 for the old system at the Mid America Truck Show and close to that for the Falcon system online. The last system recorded one sideswipe and one red light runner. The sideswipe got me $23,000 in loss of use and the red light runner had no insurance, but he did get a trip to jail due to driving while impaired. In my opinion the system is priceless and I won’t drive ever again without a camera recording at all times including while parked to help protect my rig and cargo. Also I am sorry your rig got damaged, I know how bad that feels.

    I am looking at the falcon 3 cameras also. Don't want to spend $1000 but one hit and run like you experienced would make it all up.
    Sorry to see your ride damaged, looks like a great truck.

    I got a falcon eye system like 3 years ago a d didn’t like it.....

    couldn’t download directly to my I- phone had to use memory cards then download to a laptop.....

    the system seems cheap to me.... I had the 4 camera system when it first came out......

    I don’t feel like the cameras or the recorder are cheaply made. 6D204D83-D809-4AA9-8583-88E88462C870.jpeg 6D531BCB-DD35-46FA-AE8F-ABE8A69ABDB8.jpeg B8C11061-31A8-43EF-8D34-9C61E90F2308.jpeg 342A7030-32EE-4092-BDED-98B3B68AA1EE.png The cameras are the same
    as my last system and in 5 years I have only replaced the one on the back of the trailer. It takes quite a beating bouncing down the highway.
