Top-tier video, reliable evidence, but app struggles.

Blackvue are a little spendy but the low profile is nice and the app is really good. I have a 750x plus front and rear.
I wouldn't say "out of sight" for mine either but Blackvue(at least the older ones) have been relatively good for me. I have the 750x model but I plan to upgrade. 1080p sony camera, dual channel and a night mode. The app isn't great, and you may need to change the sim card to a name brand instead but it's almost lasted me 8 years, and 3 car upgrades. Went from 2016 WRX, to 2012 350, to finally ISF. Currently using add-a-fuse method for power. Simple as sticking your cameras on, plugging in power, and then figuring out which fuse is constant and accessories in the fuse box with lowest interference then tucking in the wires.
My DR750X has worked fine for over 5yrs and I live in Cairns, Queensland Australia which gets really hot. And I don’t know what you mean about limiting stuff behind a subscription. I don’t have a subscription and I went through my recording/SD card the other day with no issues or limitations
BlackVue DR750X's parking mode delivers, consistent footage in parking lots, no hassle with extras.
They're easy to install, follow any YouTube video and you'll get it right. I've had the blackvue 750x which I found to have low video quality and ability to capture license plates and details. My vantrue n4 pro blows it out the park in all those qualities and more. I would definitely look at video comparisons between multiple, would not cheap out on a dashcam but there is no need to spend outrageous amounts. I found vantrue to have very affordable and good line ups and recommend them.
I really like my BlackVue. I have an older 750 and a newer 950, not sure what models they have now. I don't mess with the cloud storage or the batteries, I run off the car battery. They record 24/7 to the front and I added my own storage, were easy enough to install myself if you know how to watch some youtube.
