I have the Aukey, most popular rated dash cam in the dashcam subreddit. Here's a link. I 100% back this dashcam, worth every penny, especially if you're a city driver. I have mine connected through USB, so I tucked it under the headliner, behind the A-pillar trim, under the passenger car seat, under the center console, and it comes out right next to the front passenger seat by the USB outlet. Super simple, you just tuck the wire in so it just barely is hidden. The dashcam is super sleek, and the wire it comes with is long enough to do this.
Not at all. I have an AUKEY front dash cam. It sits behind my rear view so I can't even see it when driving. As far as wiring goes, I have the cable routed along the top of the windshield towards to passenger side (the one I got came with little adhesive cable hooks I used for routing), tucked in the passenger door weathering going down to the bottom of the door, all the way around the upper back passenger footwell towards the center console where it sneaks up into a USB port my car has.
My wiring isn't close to as good as it could be, but my girlfriend has been riding shotgun for 4 months and just noticed it the other day when I made a comment about it.
This is the one I got. . Pick up a class 10 128gb micro SD card and literally just forget about it.
I have this one it going for $52 rn and works fine for me. Nothing in the back and takes up a USB slot to charge it. Not hot-wired in either if that’s what your looking for. But good picture

That's the one I use, happy to provide memphis footage.
Also don't get a suction one, have one on my backup car and its always falling off.
Here's the one that was recommended to me on Reddit. Just bought it few weeks ago to replace one that died.

I went with the popular Aukey DR02:

I live in a really warm climate. Many of the other popular dash cams on Amazon have Lithium Ion batteries. They can react badly to high temps.
The Aukey only has a capacitor, so while it doesn't get to continue running with the car off, there's no chance of the battery reacting poorly to heat.
IMO, that's a pretty ugly cam lol. As far as functioanlity, I have no idea. Could be decent or could be eh. I am not familiar with Nexar. I'd suggest going with something more common an Aukey cam or the A119 V2.
