I just changed my 70mai a810-2 for TK800 model. I've had 70mai (xiaomi) since a500 and went through almost all models beside Omni, they saved me 4x already from irresponsible drivers and payed off themselves numerous times.
I'm upgrading due to the 3'rd channel (beside front and back they added IR interior cam loke Ventrue) just because of AI cameras who wants to take money claiming "no seatbelt" (which I have all-time).
The specific brand or model of dashcam will make no difference to Eyesight.
Per the manual, there is a recommended "dead zone" on the windshield where you're not supposed to mount anything. That said, I (and many others) have ignored those recommendations and placed my dashcam very close to the Eyesight housing with no adverse effects.
FWIW, I have a 70mai T800 (triple camera setup). I've had it for about six months so far and it's been great. Simple setup, simple app interface, and great quality video and audio. It's pricey, but I'd buy it again.
VIOFOs are big, wedge-shaped and have a screen (not everyone needs it).
Video quality is the best. You can get polarised filters for both front and rear cameras. There is a remote bluetooth button as an accessory. Voice commands. Can write to an external SSD as well.
VIOFO is not the cleanest to install in Sportage because Sportage has that big plastic shroud around the rearview mirror. Cannot install too close to it (or it would get into the frame) and doesn't look very nice installed under it since the camera is pretty boxy. Have to go to the side.
Some install it ON the plastic shroud though. May be an option.
Rear camera is compact. Rear cam cable is one of the thinnest on the market. Easier to tuck.
Blackvue are cylindrical which makes for cleaner install and allows for more centred installation. Can go right under the said shroud. There are options like [https://blendmount.com/](https://blendmount.com/) that allow install on the mirror stem. Can get mobile connectivity. Expensive.
Thinkware U3000Pro is pretty large but yes, radar mode is cool. Heat resistance of these is also very good. But they look big when installed. You can either have the internal third camera or the mobile connectivity unit. Not both.
What else... 70mai T800 is cheaper and not bad, can get it with LTE connectivity.
800 is because they install it for you. It's really easy to install dashcam, a bunch of video on YouTube about that. Usually dashcam has all necessary wires and tools to install it. This is my collection:

The most expensive costs 300 USD, but records 4k both front and rear (T800) and interior with IR camera.
Using these cameras on 2 cars. Definitely recommend to have 4G Kit with external battery to monitor parked car. Helps to hatch suspicious activities near the car. I don't use fuse box on Rav4 Prime, just splitter for Cigarette lighter.
