BlackVue Box IR is a good option as the cameras are locked in place and the memory card is stored in a box which you can lock and hide under the seat, so the driver cannot just unplug it.

Depending on the dash cam some will eat power for breakfast. To know how long you can have parking mode for will depend on that, the condition of your battery and how many events get triggered. I tested the Thinkeate U3000, BlackVue DR770X Box, VIOFO A129 Plus Duo, and Akeeyo EYES AI dash cams to show how much power is used by each in parking mode. Watch for more info: https://youtu.be/52nfmtyEEQ8 I also am trying to use a solar panel to potentially have unlimited parking mode.

when you say interior are you thinking of NOT having a rear cam? I assume you do not in which case you need a 3-cam system. Blackvue has the best low-profile that I know of but I had issues with their lousy/unresponsive support so had to go with one that has a screen. ended up with a 2-cam viofo and it’s a lot lower profile than I anticipated…fits pretty well behind my 2014 Accord mirror. you can turn the screen off completely and use the app - which is what I do since the screen is tucked up behind the mirror (the screen can be turned off/on by voice command which is nice). but yes…you need 3-cam which will run you a bit more!

Blackvue box models mount the recorder out of sight, and make it harder to try and rip out, so are a good fit .

Blackvue Box cams are great for convertibles. The cameras are small, and the recording unit mounts separately. VHB holds the cam securely to the wind blocker, back of the headrest, etc., and they just dangle from the cable when they do fall off.

Thinkware has a higher heat tolerance. Blackvue Box is also a great choice in the heat.

Blackvue box models are your best option. * One of the better options for 4g cameras. * Not easy to rip off the window and toss by the thief.

>rear view replacement any good None are great. I like the Blackvue box models for college kids. Recording unit mounts separately. The Thinkware Q200 is a great starting point for a basic cam.

Love your username. I recommend the BlackVue-DR770X. Works great and lasts even with the hot heat of an Alabama car.

This is what I use too, and highly recommend it. Today seemed especially fucky on 280, always fun to go back through the videos and relive the experience. Lol

I had a NextBase hardwire but it was crap and worked intermittently. I now use a blackVue Front and rear which my brother hard wired in with relative ease. It does drain the 12v battery if you only do short journeys and leave it on standby I recently purchased a 12v charger as I do relatively short journeys and don't keep the battery charged up enough

Nextbase are the worst dashcams and their customer service is just as bad. Had to file a chargeback for a refund with them. 1080P in itself is fine on a decent dash cam. I have a blackvue front and rear dash cam and it's crystal clear at 1080 compared to my 4k nextbase one

Th auxiliary battery is charged from the cig power port - when the vehicle is running
