Best Dash Cam Options for the RL & Installation

I am wondering if anyone has installed a dash-cam that has good quality and fits well into the RL without seeing wires etc. If anyone knows an easy install process.

Your best bet is going to be hardwiring the camera in like I did. I have a Thinkware F750. I would honestly go with the F770 since it's much more compact. If you look at post 103 in my thread it will give you an idea what mine looks like:

This thread will also give you some nice ideas:

Happy cam'ing

Thanks!

300 bucks huh.. damn.

I'm looking for more than 140 deg to have wide angle in parking surveillance. I've seen some online with 170 degrees angle. but i got zero experience in this.

There were many for a hundred bucks. Dunno the quality tho.

You honestly have a lot of great options. I always think of it this way: something recording is better than nothing recording, right? I got mine at a severe discount since Amazon was running a sale for black friday, and chase was giving me 10% cashback on Amazon purchases at the time. It worked out perfectly.

I'm gonna read some reviews online and pick one. A lot have 170 deg angle which is good.

Wiring is what i'm hoping is easy as i don't like cables and clutter.
