Best dashcam for C43

I know there are other threads on dashcams but I need more info. Can someone suggest a few dashcam models that have all the below features?

1. 2CH front and rear recording in 1080p
2. Motion detection parking mode without hardwiring
3. Very good night vision
4. Stealth look with wiring that can be easily tucked away and not visible
5. GPS built in (No external GPS antennas)
6. 170 degree viewing angle
7. All other features such as G-sensor, loop recording, HDR etc.

Only the Thinkvue 770 has 1080 front and rear.
However it must be hardwired.

The Blackvue doesn't need to be hardwired but, it is only 1080 front and 720 rear.

All of the other features are available on both of these cameras.

I thought the blackvues don't have built in GPS and we have to purchase an external GPS antenna and stick it to the windshield. Any particular model no. you are talking about that has a built in GPS?

I have a 650GW that has built in GPS as far as I know or it comes with a module that you can hide under the dash. I am actually selling the Blackvue as it was pulled from a car we no longer own.

Guess 720p for the rear is fine. I will look into these. Any other brands you suggest? Any experience with Rexing dashcams? They seem to be very popular on Amazon.

Rexing are pure Chinese junk. They are the low end of cameras. Popular on Amazon because they are cheap sub $100. Made for mass market, not high end.

You get what you pay for.

Rexing video quality has long been a discussion of being poor. UI isn't very good and overall it is considered to be a "cheaper" unit.

If you are happy that is all that matters but on the Dashcam forums there are dozens of threads on this topic and the video quality cannot compare to the blackvue and Thinkware.

I've been exploring these lately as well for a couple of my cars, AFAIK the Thinkware F770 has 1080p both front and back.

Bringing this back from the dead. So I purchased the Thinkware F770 2CH dashcam. I am looking to hardwire it to the fuse box near the front passenger foot-area. I can't for the life of it figure out which fuses to connect the Yellow (ACC) and Red(BATT) without breaking anything. If anyone has hardwired a dashcam to this fuse box, can you please share the fuse numbers that can be safely used for the connections? The fuse numbers in this fuse box are numbered 301-341 according to the fuse allocation chart found in the trunk of the car.

I have the 770 and had it professionally installed. I can't tell you what fuses he used but, I can tell you he connected them to the fuse box on the drivers side of the dashboard. If you are in the NY area he is very good and fairly cheap.

I didnt realize this was for a 43, mine was installed on 63s..

I believe the fuse boxes are same across the C class. I live in Socal and I am sure I can find someone to professionally install it. But once I can figure out the fuses, it is a fairly simple install so hopefully I can do it myself.
