Extremely! I did it on my RX350 no problem. The cords aren’t like totally concealed, but enough out of the way they don’t bother me. Obviously it doesn’t look professional, but good enough for the purpose.
I went with Red tiger as well because of size. So far no issues.

I did get lazy with the install and used an obd2 port USB adapter.
I bought the Red Tiger F9 for my car. (Note that the 70mai and Red Tiger rules the market. It's better not to go beyond these as far as I know. And if you're low on budget, Qubo would be the best pick.)
My requirements were:
* It should have at least 2k for the front cam and a standard HD for the rear.
* Sony starvis for sensor.
* It shouldnt have a display on the device as I would like to minimise the LCD radiance within the cabin, even though many of them offers silent screen unless interacted with them. Such screens are not exactly worth it, TBH.
* The thing should have mobile app control to offer quick playback and data transfer.
Guess what, F9 was just the thing for me and I totally installed the whole thing on my own. Not a rocket science especially when you plug it to 12V socket. Didn't install the hardware kit to battery or fuse though...

Limited-time deal: REDTIGER F9 Dash Cam 4K Front and Rear 1080P, Built-in 5.8GHz WiFi and GPS, Dual Dash Camera for Cars with 32GB Card, Loop Recording, Parking Mode, Smart App Control https://amzn.in/d/03eX6jg9
Front and rear...just in case some slams into the back of you.
We have a hatchback and still put in the rear cam. We got the extra cable to put in so it can record in parking mode, too. I think, all up, with the extra mini SD card and cable, it was about $130...but it's worth it. The dual cam package was about $80 on sale. It's a RedTiger brand, and we haven't had any problems with it. Clear images, too.
ETA: We also got one of the cables that monitor battery/voltage usage while it's parked, that way it shuts off if the power gets too low.
They say to get one that overrides on the SD card when it gets full. Ours is supposed to do that, but for some reason it doesn't, but because we had to install an app on the phone, we just delete the files off of the phone (if we don't need them for insurance purposes.) We do that weekly.
We've had way too many close calls to not have one.
If you can't decide whether or not you should get one, check out r/IdiotsInCars \-- watch a few of those dash cam videos.
