A dash cam recommendation please

Hi there,

I hope to put a dash cam in my new 2019 GLS. I searched in the forum and only found ones discussed in other cars not GLS. I hope to find the one that also has good parking mode and work well in high heat area. It can get over 100F where I live in Summer. The car already has 360 camera but doesn't record. Putting the hard wire one may void the warranty? The sales at the Mercedes said it might?

Any recommendation on a good reliable dash cam?

Thank you

BlackVue has a few products out there I was interested in but the price point has me holding off and wondering if there is anything cheaper that does the same thing. There are some great reviews of dash cam on youtube. I put the link below, I hope that helps. I am not sure about the warranty question.

One that look OE is best it blends right in. Works great for us for the last year.

Depends on how high end you want to go.

I have Thinkware in all three of my cars. And Blackboxmycar.com has all the highest end dash cams that are available. The premium options are Blackvue or Thinkware. And none of them are simple brainless installs like an Owlcam. Installing a Cellink battery pack raises the cost by another 300.

Installing a dash cam and using an add-a-fuse to your fuse box will NOT voice your warranty.
