Despite best attempts, I haven’t found any of my vehicles featured

I'm coming around to the proposition that too many / most dash cams have a programmed life around 2 years... regardless of price or even brand. My $70 cheapie died - again - by destroying the memory card, so it was dissected in mid-journey. . Replacement probably a cheap UNIDEN on SALE... The 'Bus' camera, a more expensive UNIDEN has developed 'Cognitive Aberrations', such as defaulting to One Minute file Size... Yes, 60+ seperate files per hour. And needing a phone to make adjustments is wearing thin... Yes, even expensive brands, - have a Black cloud hovering...if you get the drift.

Best so far was the VIOFO, strange wedge looking creature, but delivered faultlessly for > 2 years. Son sold the car with camera still installed....

And you need to pay $$$ for a decent card, eBay bottom of barrel stuff only suits music players, IMHO

Very hit and miss I think. Daughter and Son have gone through multiple units - around 2 years is about right, but the 2 in my car are very long lived - one is the company camera (it's a company car) and that was put in when the previous car was new - a 2017 Hilux and now in my Dmax and still going. Not great specs compared to new cameras but it does the job fine. It is part of a network we run and they are very reliable. I think we have around 40 cameras all in (multiples on most vehicles and up to 7 on the bigger trucks) and I've only seen one die in my time here. They are $1,400 a pop though so you'd expect them to last a while. I as run my Blackvue as it's easy to get footage off and that's in its third vehicle now and around 4 years old.

Check what AusPost uses. They have cameras all over the red vans.....

I had a Uniden thing. It was useless. Blackvue have a good rep, as Gav says. Often though, the biggest problem with them is the SD card. Need a good quality one, and they don't last forever. I have to replace the one in my drone regularly if I want to keep footage safe.
