Dashcam recommendations please
We have a Mercedes 300 and are in the research stages for a dashcam. We are considering Ring Car Cam (but in back order now), VanTrue or Next base. Absolute must: 24/7 monitoring, GPS and ideally car crash emergency calling (we have an SOS button but does anyone know if it works if the driver is unconscious)? Thank you!

I have a VanTrue (forward only because of the convertible feature of the SL) and really like it. I have it hardwired so that it records with the car off and parked and bumped. It is small and compact and non-intrusive. My primary reason for getting it is to record the audio with any interaction with the police. It's not that I don't trust cops, but I've met good ones and have known bad ones. So, I guess I don't trust who might randomly stop me. It's also good to have in the unfortunate case someone hits me.
