Anyone have a dashcam they really like?

I don't care about screens
I'd like something I could mount to my dash
I'd like something that can record audio

I was trapped in my car recently and berated by a neighbor, so I mostly want something I can use to record that sort of behavior in the future. Otherwise, it's just he said/she said.

Thanks!

It sounds like a mobile app or knockoff GoPro style action cam might work better. That way you can point it out the side if needed and the audio quality is likely to be much better than a dash cam.

For budget dash cams, I've had good experience with the 70mai brand. Keep in mind that on most dash cams, if you get one without a screen, you will probably have to install their app to change settings.

I thought about a mobile app, but something that consistently records is better than relying on my faulty memory.

I'll take a look at 70mai, thanks.
