I recommend this one: [Vantrue E1 2.7K WiFi Mini Dash Cam](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B2W81VG6) Most dashcams stick to your windshield, which is technically illegal in NY (even though law enforcement doesn't seem to care), and this one can stick to your dash. (Has an upside down mode for it.) This model is also easy to use through their app, oppose to using a dashcam's built UI which can be irritating to navigate.
I use Vantrue E1. It uses USB-C. It usually comes with a cigarette lighter plug, but the actual camera uses type C. And so I use a type C-A and plug into one of the two in the center console.
I got the fitcam version I think it was and then a Vantrue dashcam mini that was $110-$120 USD. Works pretty well!
I’ve got a Vantrue E1 that was very simple to hardwire. It’s mounted to my windshield with 3M adhesive and only a single wire running from the mount a few inches to my headliner is visible. I like it because I can move it to any vehicle I purchase pretty easily
Honestly, I struggled with this and ended up with a Vantrue E1, nice and small, hides behind my rear view mirror and comes with a remote button to trigger a saved recording. Has an app, but can just pop out the SD card to get footage off too. Paid £55 for it new. Quality is sharp and perfectly useable if I had an incident.
? The Vantrue E1 (second photo) is a good cam from a respected manufacturer.
