Thinking about adding a dash cam to my Hummer and leaning toward the Garmin Mini 3. Ideally, I’d like something discreet or factory-looking. What setups are you guys running?
 
I've got a lot of experience here. I tried the vantrue, and it arrived with rear camera dead. I tried blackvue 970x and 8 days later got hit while parked. Didn't detect impact so it never left time lapse mode and the video quality was so poor we couldn't make out the plate. So returned that and now I run the thinkware 3000 with ivolt extra battery backup for parking mode. You can run it off hummer 12 volt battery but it will shit down after 90 minutes due to low voltage and our vehicles are so susceptible to low voltage issues I just went with the battery backup. Plus it includes a USB port to power my wifi Hotspot so I get instant notifications of impacts now

I will say we caught the guy that hit me. Showed restaurant staff his picture from cam and they knew him.
