~ This small unit has really good reviews. I also like the fact you have a screen to see exactly what is recording or the image.I also wanted small and looking through various reviews I ended up getting one of these..

With my limited use so far it seems to work well. Just thought I would mention another option for you on small cameras.
Yes, I did get a filter where It eliminates windscreen reflections. I think the main criticism on this camera (which from memory is the same issue on the Garmin Mini 2 or even worse) is it’s night time quality is not great vs other larger cameras at a similar price, but I wanted something hidden behind the mirror so discarded all chunky cameras. (Plus, I don’t tend to drive at night so was not an issue for me) There is also a review of someone after a year in a hot climate somewhere in the US where it was still working fine which was another good sign. I think the Garmin may not have GPS stamping of vid which was another big negative for me.. (or that may have been the old Garmin Mini 1)
Here are some photos of the installed VanTrue dash camera. It's very discreet... most would never see it unless I told you it was there. I wanted it to be out of my peripheral vision and mounted just behind the passenger side of the rear view mirror.I did opt for the Vantrue (with filter lens) due to its small size and magnetic attachment (camera slides on and off the double side taped mount). Wire easily tucks around the windshield and dash edge and is hardwired to the fuse panel at the passenger side footwell. Super clean install. I have the screen set to turn off after 1 minute upon coming on... but it keeps recording.
Have the same problem with mine in my daily and in my wife's car, otherwise it works great.
How did you run the wires? I couldn't get the wiring kit to work.
~ I had it professionally hardwired at the fuse panel on the passenger footwell area.
