I use the Vantrue Element 2. Dual cam front and rear. Easy setup and around $200 total. Great pics. Has saved me before from getting blamed on two different collisions
I have a vantrue that captures front and cabin. I got it when i was driving my Crosstrek and could see my dogs in the back and it could see out the rear window. I really didn’t want to wire a rear one, not as straight forward as the windshield. Anyway, it’s 2k front and rear or 4k front only and has captured a lot of cool shit. Accidents, wildlife trying to commit suicide and it’s kinda fun to check footage after some spirited driving. I got my daughter the newer model that connects via WiFi and she loves it.

Front facing only is better than none. I have a two-channel Vantrue - front and inside cabin. I got it because I also do a rideshare. What I noticed is that the inside view also picks up (although rudimentary) on the sides of the car and a bit of the back of the car. As for screen as distraction - you can set it up so it will turn of after some time (mine does after 30 seconds). I also installed mine to the right of the mirror so it is barely in my view at all (I have Honda Accord)
I got Vantrue because I wanted front/inside combination and for some reason Viofo/Blackvue don't offer the exact setup like this. Usually it's only if you get 3 or 4 channel setup and it's reflected in the price. So far I'm happy with it (it's been a few months).
Vantrue. I have the front and rear version in mine and my wife’s rig
I've been rocking a Vantrue dashcam for a few years now, granted I bought a premium one but they do cheap ones two all with good sensors and most if not all are 4k if I'm not mistaken.
Vantrue or VIOFO. They both use the Sony Starvis image sensor and have great quality. The cameras are pretty set and forget if you opt for the hardwire kit. It will turn on and off with the car and start recording as soon as it starts up. The included power adapter does the same thing if your power port in your car turns off with the ignition.
