Agreed- at the present time this is the best sensor used in dashcams for low light conditions. The IMX323 is good, but somewhat lesser in this regard. I personally do not feel any other sensors are worthwhile for low-light use.
IR lighting will not do any good for a dashcam which is 'looking' through glass to the outside of a car. All it will do is reflect back from the glass onto the cam causing it to darken the images due to the excessive lighting it detects. It works well with 'interior' cams that do not have to 'see' through glass. If you want IR illumination for the outside then that lighting needs to be outside of the car's glass. That's something on my 'bucket list' of things I want to experiment with someday.
