Looking for the Best Front & Rear Dash Cam with Notifications, Hardwire Option and Solid Features

Hi all,

I'm in the market for a reliable front and rear dash cam setup and would love to hear your recommendations.

I'm looking for a dash cam that ideally includes the following:

Front and rear coverage (ideally with good video quality, especially at night)

Notifications (e.g., push alerts for events or impact detection, especially while parked)

Hardwiring support (for continuous power/parking mode)

Good onboard or expandable storage (preferably support for high-capacity SD cards or cloud backup)

Solid mobile app (not clunky, decent UX, and works well with notifications/cloud)

It doesn’t need to be the cheapest — I’m more interested in quality, reliability, and usability.

Bonus points for:

Easy installation (or hardwiring kits available)

Good customer service

Well-reviewed long-term performance

Any first-hand experiences or advice would be appreciated. Happy to hear both budget-friendly and premium suggestions if they offer good value.

Thanks in advance!

I have blackvue front and rear cameras, connected to a blackvue battery pack which is hardwired to the car, thus solving any battery drain issues, not cheap, but excellent video quality both night and day, it can be remotely viewed via subscription ( I don’t have this) at an extra cost, downloads footage straight to my phone without the need to remove the sd card, I had mine professionally installed by an auto electrician,mainly to avoid any issues if I had to claim on the vehicles warranty and the dealer turned funny, you know what they’re like…
