i used both for 6 years and can conclude...
a steaply raked windscreen certainly diminishes the image quality an internal lens can produce....
its pretty pointless having a parking mode on an internal camera if all you get overnight is a view of misted windows during winter months lol...
reminding ourselves most cars have external rear view external reversing cameras that function perfectly well.....
obviously image quality is as good as you ll get from the camera and you eradicate the problem of steamed windows...
number plate capture is also far more successful..
i ve just removed a rear lens after 6 years of used , which is a removed mobius A lens on an extension cable that simply had a round thin piece of glass bonded directly to the front of the lens and no water ofr misting up has taken place in its entire time of use and i m about to transfer it to the next car.... ( i actually used a gt dashcam with screen as the mobius cable fitted and worked on the camera)
i d suggest an external lens fitted as described will produce much more usefull footage than any dogs danglies 4k high price modern camera and its only drawback is frosty or snowy days which you d expect lol
