dashcam recommendations please

[Wonko The Sane]

Mornin'

after the mrs and her friend were pulled out on a week ago in the friend's car I'm thinking I've put off getting a cam for long enough.

Wanting something that will take an SD / Micro SD card, will overwrite automatically so doesn't run out on longer journeys
looking to wire it in to get rid of a dangling wire
wanting something that fits to the rear view mirror / tucks away behind the mirror as I can't stand things stuck to the windscreen.
Needs to be able to catch a reg number in dark / horrid Lancashire weather

anyone got / had anything that might fit the bill?

I recently bought and installed a Roadhawk Vision (in fact I bought 2 - one is installed and functioning, the other awaits installation in my imminent new car).

I was after something low-profile/unobtrusive to record quality footage... and that's it. I didn't want GPS tracking or any other paraphernalia, just a record of what actually happened to corroborate any future "he said she said" disputes.

Roadhawk have a good reputation from supplying largely to commercial vehicles (trucks, taxis etc) and the Vision is their first consumer-targeted device. It isn't the cheapest out there but it's a well-made thing and hides nicely behind the rear view mirror of my Skoda Yeti (I can't actually see it from the driver's seat and it is very discreet from the outside).

It comes with a cigarette lighter charging lead (micro-USB) but I have hard-wired it to an ignition live fuse and hidden the cables in the headlining and interior trim. It takes micro-SD cards, overwrites etc and has built-in wi-fi so that you can connect to it with a phone (using their app) and get a live view (helpful for installation) as well as alter settings and profiles. You can also download footage by wi-fi connection, although this is far slower than taking the card out and putting in a reader.

Personally went with a hard wired mobius, was tech moans choice at the time and I wanted a discreet as possible so no screen for me.
