Looking for a Dashcam that requires little to no upkeep. I plan to have it hard-wired and only need to access the footage in event of an accident/issue. Any favorites?

Viofo A119 if you want front facing only, A129 if you want front and rear. Viofo offers a hardwire kit, though it requires splicing into a constant +12V and switched +12V - there's others that can plug in in place of a fuse (and you'll plug the original fuse into it so the original circuit still has power), but you won't have stuff like parking mode with those.

Don't forget a high endurance micro SD card - regular ones wear out fast in a dashcam.

Thanks for the recommendation. I like how easily removable it is and how it came with a 12ft usb cable instead of a 12ft cable that ends in a car charger.
