So it depends what you want, IR dash cams are like this:
There are Uber/Taxi cams in the dash cam build:
This has an IR camera rear, so it can record the interior at night. It also shows you the weaknesses of an IR camera, limited IR light spread/brightness, distortion of color due to removing a filter (to be able to see IR light) ect.
Examples of IR spread: Warning Uber drivers with bad customers: Uber driver #1 or Uber driver #2
There are normal dash cams:
Dashcam + Micro SD card + Hardwire kit = cost. Different vendors offer different things included/excluded.
Discount code: Receive $10 off with "top5blackboxmycar" when shopping for a dash cam over $99.99 at BlackboxMyCar.com
*Note: I pulled a lot of links from BlackboxMyCar.com, but look around for the best price, I just wanted you to be aware of the discount code.

Excellent build quality, Excellent parking mode, Good/Fair video quality:
1 ch systems: These don't have wifi/cellphone app:
-------------
Lackluster parking mode, fair/poor build quality, Excellent video quality:
True 4K:
So 4k has a lot of "marketing" around it, some are sold as 4k, but are not 4k dash cams. This one is one of the few actual 4k dash cams on the market, but you give up a lot, and you will require larger 128/256 GB MLC based High Endurance product Micro SD cards, that have error correction built in. They will eat up the cards quicker, and may not what you want in the end.
-----------------
Or you could pick these:
Example of poor build quality:
-------------------
There is a huge amount of buyers remorse in dash cams. What I can say is fully research the dash cams you want, and the dash cams you don't, so at least you understand your decisions. Picking Excellent build quality, Excellent parking mode, and good/fair video quality dash cams is a lot less hassle, above I listed only Excellent build quality, Excellent parking mode, good/Fair video quality dash cams, but there are Excellent video quality, Fair/poor build quality, lackluster parking mode dash cams out there that is worth knowing about. Anyways good luck in your decisions.
*Edit: Prices change rapidly in the dash cam market, however, the copy pasta does not. I have seen prices rise rapidly, and fall just as fast, for no apparent reason, even as newer models have been released.
------------
So If I was going to spend money, I would pick: The Transcend 32GB Drive pro 520 or if I wanted a better IR spread, BlackVue DR650S 2CH IR, or Thinkware F770 CH IR.
If I was going for price, I would pick: the Xiaomi Yi Dash cam, it doesn't have IR, it should be taken out of the vehicle when not in use: Lipo batteries crack/leak/swell/ect and lens can spin around causing out of focus problem. There is no lack of problems with the Yi, heat problem, 165 ultra wide angle lens is too wide, causes fish eye, motion blur, and distorts distance/speed, build quality issues, not discreet. However if you take it out of the car when not in use, it is a runner. -
You can apply: Paint, or apply shelf liner - do not cover the vents. This extra step may void warranty, and may reduce the lifespan of the dash camera it self - Black heats up quicker than silver.
If I were to pick a dash cam for normal use: pointing towards the road: Thinkware F50 1CH or BlackVue DR4501 CH.
If I wanted a dual camera: well I would have to list them, and I haven't yet, and I am at 8000+ characters out of 10,000 for this post.

I use a GoPro, mostly because it doesn't get used anywhere else since I'm not InstaFamous.
Another option is this one, its inexpensive but good quality: https://www.amazon.com/Spy-Tec-G1W-CB-Capacitor-120%C2%B0/dp/B00YZ5G2GC/
Blueskysea is estore009's branding for the G1W and it's 100% real, where did you get it from?
I personally got my G1WH from Spytec in the US, and they seem to sell in Amazon.co.uk too. Here you go
WickedHD also seems to sell the real thing, at least that's what I could tell by looking at this video
I love my Aukey dual dash cam. Cheaper too. https://www.amazon.ca/AUKEY-Wide-Angle-G-Sensor-Dual-Port-Charger/dp/B075VRXRD6/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1543073327&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=aukey+2cxh
​
Also previous had the Spy Tec G1W-C which was also very good, but I wanted a front and back camera.
https://www.amazon.ca/Spy-Tec-G1W-CB-Capacitor-Camera/dp/B00YZ5G2GC/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1543073403&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=g1w-c&psc=1
This one. It was recommended on /r/Dashcam, it's pretty good for the price.

G1W-CB, costa 60 euro, però devi aggiungere la scheda SD
https://www.amazon.it/dp/B00YZ5G2GC/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_8Otzxb4V53E8S
Stick to sold by Amazon or spytec others are hit and miss on genuine units.
This is the one I ran for a while
C is capacitor = no battery
H is less chrome so it blends better
Same. Mine is incredibly inconspicuous. For reference this is the one i have
