    Default Dash cam

    Anyone have/use one?
    Recommendations?
    360 view, good enough quality to read a license plate?
    One that does not need a cell phone.

    Looking into getting one.

    I have had good luck with Garmin brand. I just bought a Garmin Dash Cam Mini 2 as it has the lowest profile, iPhone is necessary for it though.

    I have a Cobra brand I bought last Christmas which seems nice but it's never actually been tested in a real life scenario. I don't know if they have one that fits your requirements.

    Interface to review video and photos. Some have built in GPS that you can use from your phone. Updates to the camera happen through the app on your phone. Etc.

    Some don't have screens and use the phone app to display live and/or videos.

    Yep. Like BMB, I went with the Gamin Mini-Dash 2 because it's so small and good reviews. But you need a phone to set up viewing angle and to review recordings.
