I’ve installed Blackvue cams (2Ch) in all of my cars. All were easily hidden behind the rearview except the 2024 model Toyota that has a lot more features that fit in the space behind the mirror. For that car, the camera sits a little below the mirror and is not completely tucked out of view.

For great cloud connectivity and remote live viewin, I bought a Blackvue DR970X-2CH LTE PLUS for my 23 Forester Wilderness and had Best Buy geek squad install it for $100 ..but they won't install dash cameras that have a screen on them because of safety reasons and I'm glad I didn't get one of those.

I have a Blackvue front/rear. Solid units and they stand up to the nasty summer heat here.

Same. Had mine installed when I did ppf, tints, ceramic. Specific model I'd recommend is the DR970X.

Blackboxmycar.com and Vortex Radar on YouTube do amazing reviews and comparisons. I have a Blackvue 2 channel in my wagon and just put a Viofo A329s 3 channel in my new daily. Dual mode hybrid parking recording and lots of nice features on the viofo. Though I prefer the form factor of the blackvue.

BlackVue dual channel. Great footage but the app is hot garbage but this seems like to be the case for majority of cam apps. Once you get into it though, the footages you can download to review is very clear.

I have a BlackVue 970x mounted in my car with one of the Blendmount mirror mount brackets. I have it hooked up to a couple of fuse taps that works just fine. I'll have to see if I have any pictures of it since my car has been sitting at the dealer for over a month waiting on parts. I think this is the best picture I have, but I just tucked the power wire above the headliner and ran it down the A pillar to the fuse box. https://preview.redd.it/n03o72i570qg1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=79ac7c57f3835b420aa1b87405f7ea0bd89d69d7

I also use the Blackvue 2ch camera. I didn't trust the Tesla sentry for the same reasons, and the detail from the Blackvue is surprisingly good. It's now running in my Polestar, and I will likely run a separate dash cam on every car I drive in the foreseeable future.
