Dashcam recommend

[blueiron]

Who has personal experience with and can recommend a vehicle dashcam for the following parameters:

• Has HD format [1080i or 1080p]
• Is unobtrusive. It is going into a Jeep Wrangler soft top.
• Will withstand 150 degree interior heat. 
• Is not Jack Ma 'ChiCom' junk.

Thanks.

Not a fan of the viewer in the rear view mirror. The examples I've seen leave the mirror visually distorted.

Got a Vantrue N2 Pro in my Truck for 2 years now. While the image quality is good and the heat didn't kill it yet, I'm no fan of it. The display is so small that I can't read the icons or settings, not even with my reading glasses on.

I hear they came out with a new dash cam with a bigger screen, but I finished installing a solution today that is much better and more intuitive.

The entire mirror is a touch screen and very easy to navigate! Records the front with 4k, the back cam with 1080p. Comes with GPS, vandalism activation, loop recording, you name it.
