Blackvue LTE cams are the best option, and a range of plans for access if you are looking for live view anywhere. If you just want to view in the car anything of their cams other than the 5 series.

I've had a BlackVue DR590 2 channel for almost ten years now, and another in the car for half that time. Zero issues and saved me and others a few times.

An older Blackvue 590 in one vehicle, and a Memento M7 in the other.

[https://www.blackboxmycar.ca/](https://www.blackboxmycar.ca/) They are in Vancouver, and I've picked up a few when they are on sale. I have 2x Blackvue 590s and they seem to work really well.

Fitcam is very mediocre.  A blackvue is superior from a device/app/reliability standpoint.  I have mine installed and i can’t see it from the driver seat so I would say that is discrete.

Older cam?  My previous blackvue died but it was in service for 7 years and was an older model with poor cooling.   My new one tells me when starts recording, changes mode, has an event or has a problem with the card - so if I don’t hear the prompts then I know something is off.

Fitcam failed us on the wife’s car when she was in a wreck.  It’s loop recording stopped without any way for us to know.  I would not purchase another and their software and app suck compared to other options.  People like it because it installs easy but it is mediocre.   A Blackvue dr590 is way better and still easy to install especially since Ford gave us functioning spare fuse slots for both acc and batt+.

I also use the Blackvue 2ch camera. I didn't trust the Tesla sentry for the same reasons, and the detail from the Blackvue is surprisingly good. It's now running in my Polestar, and I will likely run a separate dash cam on every car I drive in the foreseeable future.

Had my BlackVue 2-CH (front and back) installed at Autotrend Car Accessories (at Toa Payoh). Wire was neatly tucked and workmanship was solid! Also has parking mode function enabled as requested. Was about $450 all in.

Main cost was the BlackVue front and rear cameras themselves at $380+. Installation was $60 iirc. Could you send me the link to the 4k front and rear cameras for $100? I’ll check it out next year when I switch cars

I’ve installed Blackvue cams (2Ch) in all of my cars. All were easily hidden behind the rearview except the 2024 model Toyota that has a lot more features that fit in the space behind the mirror. For that car, the camera sits a little below the mirror and is not completely tucked out of view.
