as the title says I'm new here. Looking to buy a dash cam main features I'd need are~

Sense any motion when my car is parked, incase of bumps etc
Good quality picture at day and night
Can be hard wired
Not too large in size

Any help would be great
 
Given your interest in recording incidents when parked, I suggest a dashcam with pre-buffered motion sensing. Within your budget, consider the Thinkware F50 & BlackSys CF-100.

Thanks I'll have a look at them
 
Any other suggestions and what kit should I buy to hard wire the cam ?

So I went for the BlackSys CF-100, managed to pick up a brand new for £25, just need to find out what hard wire kit I need

The image above indicates you bought a CW-100 not CF-100. If I remember correctly the CW-100 is 720p not 1080p. But decent for £25.
 
So it came today and I did buy the wrong one! Not keen on the quality so going to return.

Now I need help again ! I've decided I want one with a screen can anyone recommend one ?

Even worse, it's D1 ( 480 x 720 ). I nearly made same mistake few years ago when in a hurry mixed up CF vs CW.

So the MG600 I'd have to run a cable from the camera to the box? That would be hard to hide if it's running from the glove box ?

I have the SGZC12RC, which is the €200 "equivalent" of the generic MG600. The cable from lens module to main unit runs behind roofliner & A pillar trim to glovebox. Took 5 minutes to route cable. Easy.
