"It was the easiest thing. Just used a spoon to lift up some interior trim and the included sticky pads. YouTube it, Viofo also has some videos but others have made vehicle specific videos."
"Ifs easy to install and powered from cig lighter via usb plug. ... I just tucked the wire around the headliner trim down the pillar under dash etc. ... If you can install a ez pass scanner on your windshield you can do this lol."

Mine is not in that budget range but I've had the same Viofo dashcam (A119 Pro Duo) for almost 5 years now and it's been great! The A119 mini is only $85 but if $115 isn't too much I would get the A119 V3 because that one comes with a rear camera too. Mine had no problem handling 10°F or 115°F (outside temp) and it was so securely attached that I thought I was going to break my windshield trying to move it to my new car a few years ago. I don't expect it to last a lifetime but if it dies tomorrow I would buy another Viofo. I have no idea how their app is for video viewing/transfer though, I just pull the SD card if I need to save a video.
So pretty much all the dashcams on the market currently use the same image processor from china/taiwan so they sorta all have the same quality. I have a Viofo a119 Pro and it’s pretty decent, I have one in my 18 BRZ and my crosstrek.
I bought the VIOFO A119 PRO 2K in 2018 - still going strong.
For £100 you can get a good front facing viofo or nextbase dashcam. (I have next base). You’re unlikely to get a front & back facing one of high quality for less than £100 however.
I’ve had the VIOFO Dash Cam A119 (front and back) since 2021 and has survived the heat so far. I don’t like the software phone app but it works without it. Not the best sharp image but it does get the basic details you need. I like Front and back combo for the price.
Viofo a229 plus if you live in a really hot area, Pro if you don’t need “ extra heat protection “ , they’re on SALE rn They have front and back cam, parking mode is iffy from heat I hear depending on how u have it set I’ve had mine for a year almost and I’ve had no issues, i love it and have caught crazy moments
I believe not, a lot of people complain about buffering issues and getting 4k due in summertime especially in hotter areas! But there’s an extra heat protector on the plus
VIOFO pro. Front and rear cameras. That I can download to my phone. I can watch live feed if I wanted. I think it also records stats, like speed and gps?
Second the VIOFO pro suggestion. I bought off amazon and paid Best Buy to install
In a miata, you could be probably get away with the “uber” Viofo camera that aims straight back from the main unit (in lieu of a rear camera). But that’s if you don’t tuck it behind the mirror, which we usually try to do in most of our installations.
Viofo from hachielectronics. It plugs from my fake engine noise so it doesn't have to take up usb space nor have to do any fuse voodoo.
