I have a Wolfbox g850 pro it’s a rear view mirror dash cam and it’s already been useful for an accident. It has a camera forward facing on the back of the mirror screen and an external camera that mounts on the rear of the car. The wide angle rear view camera makes life easier when changing lanes, now I have very minimal blind spots. Overall highly recommend, it survived the hot summmer being in my car in AZ parked outside as well which has fried previous dash cams I’ve used. Footage you record is saved on a continuous loop on a SD card which can be removed and uploaded to a computer or you can transfer the footage over WiFi to your phone. Very easy to install, no cutting wires. Happy to answer any more questions you have.
Look for FitDVR if it's possible, it's basically a rear view mirror tap if you have an auto-dimming mirror (most do). That doesn't require any fuse panel work and basically turns on when you turn on the vehicle. Add in your choice of dash cam, I'm using a WolfBox 850 at the moment, but there are others and better out there.
I hardwired a Wolfbox G850 12" dashcam mirror in my 03 Element. Only complaint is the visors hit the mirrors. Currently looking to install the 10" Wolfbox or possible moving it all to the radio as its display is going out.
I installed and hardwired a Wolfbox G850 dash cam rear view mirror myself and I know nothing about electrical. It took a long time but I am glad I did it myself. There was no shortage of videos and I even sent pics of my fusebox to Wolfbox and they told me which slots to use. Now that I want to change it up, I don't have to guess which panels to pull up, etc. I totally understand not wanting to waste a day installing it though.
Battery definitely drains if you I don't drive it everyday, so I'm on the hunt for a new battery. Other than that, I have 0 complaints. Self installed. Took 15 minutes. It's mainly just tucking the wire.
Gotta for $120, but I found it on sale for about $80 on Amazon. You can avoid the parasitic drain if you hardwire it vs plugging if into the cigarette port.
Wolfbox is what I went with and it's been great. I mounted the rear camera just below the bumper to the driver's side of the tag and had just enough cable to make it. I got the 4k front 1080 rear because it had all cables included for about 90 bucks.
