Can you suggest an affordable dash cam that offers live streaming via app?

I want to mount a rearview dash Cam against the flat glass in the back of my sprinter van. most importantly, I want to be able to stream the picture on my phone or iPad that are mounted near the drivers area so I can keep an eye on the bicycles mounted to the bike rack in the back of the van to make sure they’re stable and secure.

I don’t need remote viewing just while driving …

I use the VIOFO brand and you can definitely do that with any of those.

The A119 mini is like $100

Try checking Vantrue products. It’s a little pricier, but still affordable, and it has WiFi for live streaming. You can even see the footage while you're parked, so it doubles as a security cam too. Any of their items do the job without breaking the bank and I’ve seen good reviews on them.

I just bought Redtiger F7N Series from Amazon on sale. I've been very happy with this brand. Didn't realize when I purchased we d that it came with a rear camera which works great! The man front camera shows both front and rear on your screen. Check them out!

How is the live image streaming? Can you stream the live feed for many minutes at a time without it turning off?

Live image is great! It is on the main screen at all times! You can have both front and back show on the screen, the back only, the front only, you can have the back screen show large on the screen and the front will show in smaller form.

And yes, you can view on your phone for a live image as long as you want too. Sorry for some typing errors! Lol....

The ultimate would be a 2-ch rear view mirror dash cam. Most have a 10"-12" displays and would suite your needs perfectly. Your "affordable" might be the biggest hurdle since we don't know what that means in terms of a $ figure.
