Default Front and rear dash cam

Fellow GX drivers, do you recommend any brand of front and rear dash cam that you are using now?

Costco has type s brand, but it has no rear camera. Amazon carries too many brands, not sure which one is reliable and fit in GX well.

I want both front and rear exterior views covered.

Thanks.

Thinkware F800 Pro in our 2019. Wife loves it.
@tecman has a good and complete write-up on the install of dash cams in general: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gx-...ox-wiring.html

GX4TATI : Did you by chance install or consider the Power Magic Pro?

Edit: looked at the link again and I see you had this installed.

Nice to know where that mystery dent came from... Only need to watch the first minute in the link.

We had everything professionally installed. Just for the dash cam and installation it was $500 cash out the door. Battery back up was extra.
