    Do you have experience with any of these dashcams? Pros/cons? I'd like the option of constant/timed power supply for traveling in unknown or sketchy areas. Thanks for your input.

    I had a Garmin mini cam on a previous 3rd gen connected via the aftermarket power plug into the mirror.

    Video download/view was easy, the small size was great, power connection via mirror plug & play connector eliminates install issues and the resolution met my needs.

    The camera does not integrate with a rear camera and the ball swivel mount is easily moved when you bump it cleaning your front windshield (every time I went to the car wash, I would need to realign the camera).

    My 23 came with the distributor installed Toyota cam and it is just ok, but no more issues bumping the camera alignment.
