NextBase are a popular make. I am on my second one. They work as advertised.

To be clear these are used for evidence if you have an accident.

You might be better off looking at action cams - Go Pro, etc.

I used a lot of different brands and models dash cams but the 7Mai is the best i ever had. I can really recommend it.

70mai Smart Dash Cam Pro – 70mai

I got one for my car when it was new in 2014. I had recently been the victim of *two* hit and run accidents (one in my old car, one in a rental car on a work trip). This is why I got the camera. After installing the dash cam, my new car was almost immediately broken into and the dash cam stolen. You have been warned - you may be making yourself a target.

I bought a Garmin 46 after seeing some positive reviews. Mainly Garmin is a decent brand and I was getting a headache doing research. It works fine, installation was easy. I can remove it quickly. The camera is supposed to provide some collision warning, lane departure, even if the traffic in front of you has moved on and you haven't. I mounted the camera way out of my field of view so I turned all that off. It has a phone app so connection is easy, you can download video without dismounting the camera. I hardwired it to power so it goes on and off with the key and hid the wire under trim, really easy on an old pickup, maybe harder on a newer vehicle. Lots of places install them.

Garmin has an accessory cable, not included, that allows the camera to work when the car is parked. I didn't get that; I might hack something later. Some dashcams allow you to add a rear camera and record both views. The Garmin 46 doesn't do that, which is OK for me but might be useful in an SUV. The camera gets really hot, apparently normal - a GoPro gets hot too. I think a dedicated unit is better than a GoPro. When you look at reviews, look for performance at night, when cheap sensors can be bad.

My friends are very happy with their higher end models from Garmin. They have used Garmin from several years. As a bonus, theirs includes GPS locators along with the recording and gives collision warning alerts, too close alerts, etc. (I don't know what all the alerts are, but in heavy traffic, they beep when someone cuts in front, etc. They are small and unobtrusive. I believe theirs is a model 46 or 56. I think the newest models are like 47 or 57.

I would absolutely recommend you avoid Nexar as they have been nothing but trouble for me. The biggest issue is that they will not begin recording for 3-5 minutes after driving. Repeated calls to customer support finally ended with them just saying, "Yeah, they usually won't record until you've been moving a bit." So, if I'm hit a half mile from my home, there is no record. Which defeats the entire purpose. I find them unreliable and a waste of money.

I'm using one made by Street Guardian. It came very highly recommended. Mine is old enough now to only accept a 32gb micro SD card. That seems enough for a few hours of recording before it loops back and starts erasing stuff.
