Based on what you are after, thinkware u3000 or vueroid d21 4k. Both devices are very low maintenance. There is no need to wipe the sd card Both have impact recording capabilities (low power mode and energy saving 2.0) where the camera will wake up on impact only. Thinkware is 1 second, and Vueroid is 2seconds wake up time. Thinkware has a radar parking mode. In this mode, the camera goes to deep sleep until motion is detected within its FOV. The camera wakes up and records. The suggestions for viofo are good too, but not exactly what you're after. Negatives, being it doesn't offer impact based recording only. The camera would be on continuously, so only expect 4h or less of parking recording unless you add a battery pack. An additional home surveillance system pointing at the street will also help.

I had the U3000 and I wasn’t impressed with the video quality, especially at night. Switched to the A229 pro and it was significantly better

This. Basically any dashcam with a supercapacitor will be safe for high heat or low temp, because it doesn't use a battery. Supercapacitors just hold enough charge to be useful for a few minutes after powering down, and if you keep it wired to your battery, it just never looses power. I use a wolfbox G900 atm and I love it

>I have tried nearly everything. There is no way for you to pull the footage off of the wolfbox camera and view it on Apple ios. On the unit I tested the included 64GB card came formatted fat32, and worked for me out of the box with the mac I was using though I needed to use VLC to play the files. Manual indicates the same format is used on the G850. I'd format the original card in the cam, record and review on the mirror cam, reboot and review again, then power it off and remove the SD to try in the mac again. This will insure there is something on the card, and that the card is not corrupted on removal. Wolfbox has models with WiFi, which you can connect to directly using the ios app, but getting a cheap android table or used laptop and using wifi and icloud to transfer the files is likely your lowest cost and hassle option. Unclear what would happen if you tried to connect directly to the USB c.
