Nexar Beam , just get a USB C to USB A adaptor
Nexar Beam has worked well for me.
I use a Nexar Beam records to SD card and can stream to your phone or tablet which can save to the cloud. Only records the road but can have audio from cab if you want. I think the newer version has lte connectivity though.
I’ve had a Nexar beam since 2020. I’ve replaced the sd card once, the usb power cable once. The suction cup with the gps component stopped working once between then and now and Nexar mailed me a replacement at no charge. Also I was slip seating from 2020 so I was taking it out every day which probably caused the issues with the cable and gps component (the wire got shorted from disconnecting every day).
I have the nexar beam 2, and it has exceptional quality.
Nexar Beam 2 or whatever it’s called. Cloud storage all videos on app on my phone. Crash alerts, hard break alerts, tracks car location
Nexar is actually a good one if you don’t use wireless CarPlay/AA. It maintains a WiFi connection with your phone and videos are stored there as well as the camera. Makes it easy to review the footage.
