One problem is that virtually all dash cams use the same sensor that kind of sucks. You're usually not able to make out people's license plates.

I installed a new one with the new sony starvis 2 sensor, it can read license plates at night pretty good I would say.

My dashcam was priced like a new iPhone but the recording quality is superb, licence plates of a car 10m away is clearly readable.

Do tell!

I believe it's called Aviline DVR-B

you can buy comma.ai hardware, its base use is "dashcam"

you can, at your discretion, load self-driving software (openpilot), which can take over driving for you, in addition to maintaining dashcam footage

they have a subscription that will store footage in the cloud too, iirc
