Any Dash Cams you particularly like for being inconspicuous / ease of install?

Thinking its time...

I'm assuming I can find a +12V in the map light / sunroof control panel...?

I installed a Garmin Dashcam (because they're tiny) and took power from the moisture sensor on the windshield.

Thanks! I was looking at the Garmins. Any idea how big the power brick is? Is it easily hideable ?

I put in the BlackVue 750 dual camera unit. Awesome. Wired through the headliner to the passenger side fuse box.

This is a few years old and for some reason the photos don't seem to be displaying for me, but a good resource for getting power out of the rearview mirror assembly:

That's the thread I followed and it's a perfect guide to putting a dash cam in the LR4. Most people don't even know it's there. The wiring is perfect.

I use a system I found on Amazon for around $250. It came with a DVR that stores in my glovebox (or wherever I wanted it) and 2 cameras that had about 12' of cable each. The cameras are about 2 1/2" x 2 1/2". Never had an issue with it, has saved my butt a few times.

The cigarette lighter pack it comes with is pretty large; I broke the case open in the hope of hiding the circuitry somewhere, but ended up going this route: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00U2DGJD2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

There is quite a bit of room available if you pull down the overhead console.

I just wired a 12V socket and zip tied it in place to plug my dash cam in, and then ran the wiring for the camera down behind the mirror. You could easily fit 2 12V sockets up there for radar detector, etc, as well.

Mine has been running in that manner for a couple of years with no issues.
