Same model also hardwired been fine, would recommend. Cheapo Amazon ones generally work fine especially viafo I think they are called which are cheap but use same camera tech as expensive ones

I have the nextbase gw622 I think its called. Only issue I've ever had with the camera was at one point the SD card got corrupted so I have to switch to a more high in endurance card. Mount seems pretty sturdy it has a magnetic one so it's easy to take down and clean and then put back on the window. And camera quality and audio is pretty good, I have it set at 1440p for 60 FPS video but it can do 4k. As far as installation goes I haven't heard wired to a fuse so switches on with the car and there's no visible cables, but I installed it myself so I can't speak to how Halfords would do it

Well. I went nextbase, as supposedly the best. My first one overheated and crashed constantly, but i got it warrantied and had no issues since. Even automatically saved the footage when I got hit by a van. I hard wired it in too. Mines a 622gw, so a few years old now. I also believe there's better and cheaper options too

Nextbase 622GW is 4K, and the video quality is a lot better. Also, it has a polariser filter, which will reduce the glare from the windscreen reflection.

PLEASE AVOID DIESELBOSS DB5 it has the User Interface from Hell. Also be aware that Garmin 66W is extremely heat sensitive and will crash even in moderate temperatures. And as much as I love the Nextbase **622GW** it is configured at the factory for 'non overwrite' mode. So the moment you need it, it is 'so sorry. I know it looks like I was hard at work all this time, but I stopped recording six months ago'.
