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.
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.
Check out safe drive solutions on YouTube.
My recommendations:
-Vantrue E1 it's the size of a square ice cube and has excellent quality
-Viofo cams they're great and have one at each price point
-Vueroid
There's so many brands but these are the ones I have experience with except for Viofo. Things you should decide before buying: how many channels (cameras)Dual cam, triple cam or single cam, parking mode(record while parked motion or impact sensor), good video quality (starvis2 sensor). Also don't get one with a battery, look for one with a Capacitor.
It can kind of seem daunting with all the different options out there for dash cams, but honestly anything is better than nothing when it comes to an insurance claim or an accident. I had a cheap. Spytec g1wc I used for 8 years, it still works it saved me from 2 insurance claims. It's a it's a very basic camera. 1080p capacitor and loop recording. No parking mode etc. it's served me well and it still works. I upgraded to a Vueroid in my Truck and I have the Vantrue E1 in my Prius

Top-tier video, reliable evidence, but app struggles.
