Hi people-who-know-more-me, thanks in advance. I've been hunting for dashcams and can't figure out what to get. Some look too hard to install, others too bulky or unreliable. I am looking for a dashcam that
1) won't block the car's existing cameras that are there for collision prevention warnings. Those cameras are to the left and the right of the rear view mirror. I'm not allowed to have anything touch the windshield. The manual also warms about having something even reflected off the windshield that may bother the camera. I'm thinking something that attaches totally on the back of the rear view mirror would be my best bet?
2) Would work in the temperature ranges of upstate New York. Think maybe -10 degrees on a bad day and however hot cars get when it's 100 degrees out? (180?). If the upper temperature is a problem, I can always take it out if it's fairly plug and playable
3) turns itself on and off based on ignition. I think my car's usb and lighter outlets both turn off when the ignition is totally off so that should help.
4) Has good night vision
5) automatically self looping
6) decent night vision
7) easy plug and play. Preferably no need for a mechanic or hooking up grounding wires, etc.
8) anything else basic that I can't think of?
Anyone have experience with the Papago with the clip mount? I saw others on here that looked even smaller and mounted totally behind the rear view mirror. Any suggestions?
