The question is asked because if you are worried about break ins, then you probably want a dashcam with a cabin camera and that activates when the car is off. I have used thinkware and f series, reliable, doesn't have the best resolution, but has been good for 3 years
The worst part is the finicky wifi connection that the phones never is able to connect to. You need to set this straight.. most other dashcam brands has this so well sorted that I as a dealer never suggest Thinkware brand dashcams. I am myself using a U3000P but have never been able to connect and view videos or do all the stuff that requires the app to connect to cam's wifi

For lower budget I would look into ddpai, it has super capacitor inside but not serviceable. In the other hand, 70mai battery requires changes after a few years to keep the settings and date.
I have iroad dashcam installed 10 years ago and still functioning.

Dont worry bro, not as scary as it looks. Parking mode is good but hardwiring can cause warranty problems so ask your centre first. I personally use ddpai and the plug in setup works fine for me. GPS is nice for speed and location proof but it wont really stop theft...if youre not sure about wiring just let a shop install it.
im using DDPAI N5 Dual, buy at RM550 (front, rear, radar, OBD wire) Jun last year.
im installing it by myself. its not so hard, i can save rm100-rm150 . for the installation only.
still working good until today. just change new memory card last month, since the last one corrupt already.

i looked at a bunch of reviews and wound up getting a Viofo dash cam. it is going in a 2009 Pontiac Vibe. Pick whichever of their models fits your budget. - i dont think you can go wrong.
Viofo a329s 3 channel, run an external TB SSD drive and VIOFO 512 SD CARD. Pull the headliner to have it recovered when routing the wires, keeps it clean and your headliner might be falling apart soon anyways. Depending on how it's wired, maybe run a auxilary battery for parking mode support.

been using 70mai A200 on mine since oct last year, so far so good, clear pics
I have a safecam V11 since 2022 on my old car. this cheap dashcam is surprisingly durable, I park that car under the sun all day and it just works fine, this one pic quality not so good especially at night, but safecam have a bunch of new models
both install myself, if you have some basic DIY skills its not that hard

24h not necessary. I switch to GPS not because if got stolen, but to see the speedometer. I install myself. I currently use 70mai A510 dual.
Dashcam Buying Guide
What to Look For
- Supercapacitor dashcams (DDPAI, Viofo, select 70mai models) withstand brutal Malaysian sun without battery bloating or fire risks
- Latest Sony Starvis 2 sensors (70mai A510/A810, Viofo A119 Mini 2/A229) deliver crisp night clarity and readable license plates with HDR
- 24-hour parking surveillance with hardwire kits protects against hit-and-runs, vandalism, and carpark dings with battery voltage cutoff
- Front and rear dual-channel recording provides rock-solid insurance evidence for rear-end collisions
- Fast 5GHz Wi-Fi lets you instantly preview and download crash footage to your phone for quick police reports
What to Watch Out For
- Lithium-battery dashcams frequently bloat, fail to hold settings, or shut down unexpectedly when parked in open outdoor lots
- Cheap budget dashcams (<RM100) suffer from washed-out headlights, heavy motion blur, and unreadable plates at night
- Hardwiring for parking surveillance requires careful fuse box installation to avoid draining your car's 12V battery
- Standard micro-SD cards will burn out quickly from continuous loop recording; High-Endurance SD cards are a necessary extra purchase
- Some budget dashcams use plastic lenses that can warp and cause blurry edges after prolonged heat exposure
Who Should Buy
- •Every daily driver, Grab/e-hailing driver, and road tripper wanting clear, indisputable insurance evidence
- •Car owners who park under the hot sun and need heat-resistant supercapacitor reliability
- •Drivers wanting 24/7 parking surveillance against hit-and-runs in shopping malls and condo parking lots
- •Tech-savvy owners who want sharp 2K/4K footage, GPS speed stamps, and route logging
Who Should Avoid
- •Anyone trying to save RM20 by using a regular non-endurance micro-SD card (guaranteed SD write error within months)
- •Users expecting crystal-clear 100km/h night license plate capture from ultra-cheap generic cameras
- •Car owners attempting DIY hardwire kit installation without basic knowledge of fuse taps and voltage cutoff
