Hi, all.
I am a newbie when it comes to dash cams, and am investigating to get one for my son's car (mine has built-in capabilities luckily).
He is primarily concerned about break-ins to steal the dash cam ... when he is parked in San Francisco, or Oakland, CA, for example, and wants something that is internal battery operated if possible.
Leaving items in "plain sight" is an invitation for a window to be broken, and he is concerned that he (a) will forget to hide the unit or (b) not be able to use parking mode ... his car was backed into when parked, and the perps took off!
I have looked at some "mirror" attached cams (with "replacement" mirror functions), but they don't seem to be well-made or work that well (at least the ones I looked at), or are pretty large (screens of 9+") that could be too big for his 2 door coupe.
So ... what would people recommend?
