When the current shape Citroen C3 first came out in 2016, one of its USP's was that there was a dashcam built in to the interior mirror. This could be used as normal, but could also upload clips directly onto Facebook, YouTube etc. I thought then and still do that this was a great idea, no faffing about with wires, suction pads and whatever. I felt sure that other makes would jump on the bandwagon.

Apparently not though, I'm not aware of any other cars with this facility, even though, as most cars these days have camera's anyway, surely it would both make sense and be very easy to include?. Further more, l was on Citroen's website the other day, and it seems the dash cam is no longer fitted to the C3!

I have had front & rear dashcams (Thinkware F800 Pro) for the last 5 years. Expensive at the time but they had the best reputation for parking mode (important for me in my street). Obviously not the latest model now but they are still working & still get regular updates.

I have a Viofo A119 v3, which I have had for about a year and it seems to be performing well - I occasionally take the card out to check it is still recording properly.

I mainly chose it as it has a nice compact wedge size which is not readily visible from outside, therefore I don't feel the need to remove it when parked to avoid it being stolen by miscreants. It was also generally well reviewed in various places.

I avoided one with wifi functionality due to the potential of interference with all of the electronic gubbins in the rear view mirror console, but I agree in theory that functionality would be handy.
