Blackvue. Clear crisp video (even at night), was pretty straightforward to hardwire, convenient to download footage, parking mode with built in volt limiter (can use an exterior one too), cloud storage capability and rear cam fits even with my rear curtain closing for my LS. Used mine for over 7 years, have in multiple cars as it's the favorite of all I've used. Worth even if it's just the UHD ones.
I have had a Blackvue 900X in my 2022 ORP and love it. Rear view came in handy a few months ago. Check my post history in r/dashcams.
A little out of your price range but 70mai A810 is really good. I have it on most of my cars. I have a couple of A800s, which are pretty good (and closer to your budget) and a BlackVue 900s and 900x. BlackVue cameras are good quality but the app is so bad. I’m considering replacing both my BlackVue with the upcoming 70mai T800 camera (they are having a Kickstarter now - launches in August 2025)
I have a blackvue. Works great
The DR900X. Had it on my previous vehicle. Was a little bit of a PIA to fish the cable down the a pillar but once I got to where the wiring harness runs along the bottom of the jam, it was pretty easy to fish it all the way to the back to hook up the rear cam.
I bought a used BlackVue off of eBay (so slightly more affordable, but still expensive) and it’s been doing great in the heat. Have been running it for 3 years. DR900X
Dongar mirror adapter makes it cake, I just went with the garmin 67w, works great. Did a blackvue DR900x in the wife’s car and it’s great! For the price difference and easy install I’m happy with the garmin.
I use Blackvue 900x and above 4k and has parking mode and wifi connectivity! I can even show you videos of the quality of it. A bit pricy. Has low voltage but I do notice if I don’t drive for a week it does weaken. So I just disconnect it when it sits in my garage or drive way if I store the car.
Blackvue DR900X because of the smaller size. Zero issues with eyesight
