Good price for a camera with parking mode and IMX323 senors, although I wish instead of an interior cam, it had a camera for the back of the car.

How does parking mode work unless you wire this to constant-on fuse, but then you run the risk of draining the battery.

I would very much prefer side facing cameras, or at least 2 wide angle cameras on either side facing inside so it can record sides of the vehicle a little bit. For rear, your best bet is to set up 2nd camera individually.

I am looking for a low-profile dashcam, I doubt this would be good with the way it mounts, and probably wire dangling from the side since you have space from glass to the dashcam and not mount-powered like Viofo cams.

You use the hardwire kit that connects on low energy through the odb port of your car.

Also price is $73.09 I think op mistyped

Does that work with other cams as well? I see there is hardwire kit with low voltage cut off but that connects to fuse box.
I was considering mirror tap for cleaner install but I think that gets complicated.

Total Noob here..
How does this hook up to power? I assume you don't have a cord running down the windshield to the 12v supply?

A lot of the hardwire kits have an inline device that senses the voltage and turns the device off if the battery drops below 12 volts. Here's an example.

I installed a dashcam in my girlfriends car this past weekend with a hardwire kit, wasn't too difficult actually. Just need to choose a kit that has the same USB port as the cam and same voltage output as well. You just go into your car manual to see what fuse is always on while the engine is off, sometimes accessory outlets are the ones that are always on. Make sure you get a hardwire kit that comes with a fuse adapter or as it's called "add a fuse" so you can use two fuses in one port.

See that always on feature can drain the battery down. That's why there is that kill feature. 12 V/20 amps Solar Panel/Solar Controller for your dash and installed tiny 12V Rechargeable lithium Ion battery use on motor bikes. Your vehicle battery get trickle charge at the same time you keep the cam running off the 2nd battery.

Does anyone know if this would work with a battery pack. I'm thinking I could leave a battery pack connected to my car so it charges when I drive and then connected to the camera. Does anyone know if this would work? If not how long do you think a 10,000mah battery would last? Thanks to SD I have several laying around.
