The Blackvue DR770x box is always on when the vehicle is running, can connect to the phone using wifi to view video, and has cameras that are quite small and likely to go unnoticed. I'd expect all of the taxi/uber cams in the side bar (or their successors) would also meet your needs, and none require an internet connection.

Did you have to replace the rtc and supercap due to the heat or something else? Did you replace it under warranty and what was that process like? I'm possibly looking at the 770x Box version if I can get a deal on it. All the components are in a box that you put in your glove compartment so that's a way safer bet than having it on your windshield getting fried. My only concern is what is it's only 1080p despite the $500+ price tag which is ridiculous. They could've made it at least 2k res at that price.

Vantrue N4 Pro. Best dashcam I’ve ever had!

I have a Vantrue N4 in one car and Viofo A229 Pro in another car. If I were to do it again I’d get the Viofo in both cars. I like that the Viofo sits right against the windshield flush and is more low profile than the Vantrue. The Vantrue is quite bulky in its current form and obstructs my view a bit. I like that the Viofo has an app that you can use to pull footage without having to pull the SD card. I think the Viofo has better video quality, partly because the camera lens sits closer to the windshield than the Vantrue. Also I can run 4K with a front/rear setup where I cannot with the Vantrue (only 2k when running front/interior/rear). The Viofo comes with a polarizing filter which makes glare less of an issue which I’ve had in the Vantrue. I do like the voice command with the Viofo even though they can be inconsistent. I don’t know anything about the Viofo longevity, I’ve only had it a few months. My Vantrue hasn’t let me down in 2 years (including parking mode). But I do like the Viofo more so far for the above reasons.
