    Hi all,
    Any recommendations for Dash Cams that can be bought from Amazon or Canadian Tire that fit nicely in a 5th Gen 4Runner and aren't too big in physical size?
    I have "Reload" brand dash cams for my kids cars I bought a couple years ago from Canadian Tire and they're still working well, but they don't sell the small footprint model anymore.
    I'm not familiar with many of the Dash Cams they sell on Amazon, most look like Chinese brands so looking for testimonials if any of them are decent?

    I have the Garmin Dash Cam Mini 2 hooked up with the Dongar power adapter and it works very well. Tiny footprint with a decent app and video quality.

    I have multiple Viofo dash cams and Blackvue. Both cameras have lens close to the windshield so view is pretty clear.
    Out of the 2 I like Viofo dash cams better.
    • Viofo is pretty low profile and discrete.
    • Viofo also light weight. Blackvue was relatively heavy and I had to use a stronger 3M tape as the 3M tape came in the box did not last for long.
    • I have faced Blackvue not recording one time and so far Viofo I have not faced any issues.

    Recently I installed 2 of Viofo A129 Pro (4K) on my friends Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride and happy with it.
