I've had chinesium Veckle mini 0906 in both vehicles for many years (no battery) and they've survived the extreme heat parked outside year round. Granted, they are very dated but good enough if needed.

These are the people I go to when I am thinking about buying a new dashcam... really the ultimate dashcam forum...

Looks like there is a whole new generation of cameras based on Sony's Starvis2 CMOS sensor.
Good time to buy.

What I don't understand, is that you watch the webcam videos, and you would think the license plates would be easily readable at 1440p, but they are not.
Even this new Starvis 2, they are not readable.

I put this one in my daughters car, pretty straight forward install and the quality is more than enough for the normal user, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It's a little on the large side, but I was able to mount it right below the rear view mirror so it doesn't obscure her visibility.
Just make sure you buy the hardwire kit so you don't have to run a cable down to cig lighter.
I bought last years model of the Viofo, the A119 V3 2K 2560x1440P, and installed it in my little sedan. It does not link up to your phone. It was easy to set up and appears to work well. It does not come with an SD card. License plates are readable if the car is in front of you at a stop light, but you won't get much when the car is whipping past you at speed. It might not fit your current want-list because of that, but maybe one of their higher end models would.

I think the video quality is equivalent to the Cobra we use for the other car. The Cobra brand basically requires a phone for set up. The Bluetooth link for the phone is nice on this one, since it allows reviewing video without pulling the SD card. It's probably just as easy to pull the SD card and review them on your PC. A HUGE downside to the cobra is the app tracks your location even when not connected to the Cobra unit. I have to go in and turn off permissions after I use the app, and turn them back on when I want to interface with the camera.
