I use the Garmin mini dash cam (don’t remember exact name) and it works great too. Used it for multiple incidents and never had any issues. Doesn’t record when power is off however
Plugged in a Garmin dash cam mini 2 using a short cable matters USB-C to Mini-USB cable. Worked well for recording with the car on. Later bought the Garmin OBD2 always on dongle.
You can easily run the 12v (cigarette outlet plug) to the back by tucking the cable under the window trim. Mine tucks in right above my rearview, and then runs all the way to the back. Takes 5 minutes! If the cam you buy doesn't have a long enough cable you may need to buy a separate one that's long enough, but I think my Garmin Mini came with a long enough cable.
I went for a Garmin Dash Mini 2 because it's discreet, doesn't get in the way of vision, and the data can be extracted easily. Fancier dash cams exist but it's all I need.
A Garmin Dash Mini is less than £100, then plus installation if you want to hard wire it. It's cheaper because it doesn't have a screen. But videos are still visible via the app and memory card. It's also very small and fits nearly behind the mirror.

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