Hey guys, did some research and it looks like the G1W-C and the A118C are both great "bang-for-your-buck" cameras, with the former being cheaper and the latter being more stealthy. Was reading this reddit thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Dashcam/comments/4hvgjp/my_top_5_dash_cams_after_reviewing_19_cameras/Someone smashed the driver's side window of my parent's car somewhere in Richmond and the only thing that was in the car was the dash cam (glove box was locked I believe, nothing of value anywhere else or in the trunk). They're now looking into replacing the dash cam, and at the same time I'm tempted to buy one of my own as well, which is why a "subtle" one would be good if no one can see it just by casually glancing into the car. I'm leaning towards the A118C because it looks pretty sleek, and I can just hide it right behind the rear-view mirror, but it's mostly mixed reviews online.
Alternatively, I could just buy a phone holder and put my phone on the dash to record videos when I'm driving and plug that into my cigarette lighter. I just wanted a camera in case I need it for insurance or whatever purposes and don't need anything fancy or super high quality. Not confident that my phone is "high quality" enough for bright days or nights.
Finally, if I do go with the dash cam route, how hard is it to "hide" the wires? Was thinking of doing something like this:
