A400

Its little more than your budget but go for 70mai A500S Pro+ with hardwire kit. Quality is superb, control & management is seamless & with hardwire kit the car stays monitored even when parked. This has features similar to ADAS as well.. If still tight on budget go for A400 Dual Channel, little less features but covers all required aspects, 1440p recording, dual channel.. Anyone you select go for Fuse Hardwire kit, this will swap your existing fuse from the fuse box with an adapter & provide continuous power supply. Your existing fuse also goes in the adapter so no wire cut, no splicing and no warranty issues. Otherwise power supply is via Cigarette Lighter port or USB port but will not provide 24/7 monitoring, car on recording on, car off recording off.

Viofo are the dogs bollocks, 70 mai are quite good and cheap. Nextbase are expensive and absolutely shite.

Get a 70mai or even better options like Redtiger or DDPAI and use a hardwire kit with it.. It will allow you to record 24/7 and don't forget to check if the hardwire kit has a voltage protection so that the battery will not be drained.

70mai is a xiaomi subsidiary. That's how I learned of them and why I started using them.

He's lying, just trying to get you to buy their accessory dashcam. Just powering it through the 12v socket is no problem. But if you want 24/7 parking monitoring, then you'll have to hardwire it, which can cause warranty problems. So if you just want normal dashcam functionality go for any 70mai model. If you want parking monitoring also, go for the dealer one, provided they have that function, confirm that.. And get proper confirmation in writing that the dealer fitting will not cause any warranty problems in the future.
