Having said that my comments were based purely on the assumption that you are putting in the camera in the event of an accident, which a lot of people on here are. If you are a film maker and take long trips that you want to record or you like to take hot girls to the hood of you car it is a different story. Having it for a hobby is different and a smaller market for the dash cam companies if that’s what they are aiming for.
Depends on what part of the world you live in. Or the criminality rate in your region/neighborhood.. If you live in a region with a lot of savage people a dash camera may simply save you money by simply being there and making villains scratch or break into the car next to yours.
If you want a dash camera for entertainment only then a smartphone with a decent windscreen support may provide even better quality than most of the dash cameras on the market.
