[SOLVED] Dashcam recommendation

[USAFRet]

So, new car, need a dashcam.
'07 MINI Cooper

Have a Rexing V360 for it, but that's going back to the store for various reasons.
The MINI, having a small windscreen...most cameras with an integrated screen will consume too much windshield real estate.
In addition, that Rexing screen does not seem to want to work below 40F.

Anyway...new camera.

Requirements:
3 piece unit. Front cam, rear cam, and the monitor/touchscreen must be individually mountable.
1080p or better
160 degree or better view
Hardwireable
The usual dashcam things - G sensor, loop recording, microSD card, GPS logging preferred but not critical.
~$200 or less. Will go a little more for the right unit.


There are many car dashcams which will use a phone or tablet for its screen.
This not acceptable. Must be its own self contained unit. WiFi saving to the phone/tablet later is OK, but the cameras must talk to their own monitor.


One type I have found that might work is to adapt a motorcycle system. Seemingly has all the quals.

Thoughts, recommendations, gotchas?
What am I missing?

If it wasn't for your rear cam requirement, I'd suggest the DOD LS460 (or newer). That is the dash cam I use now.

Some side notes (I can guess some of those points also applies to other models as well)

• When I bought mine, about three years ago, a free 32GB SD card from Adata shipped in the package. Problem is that this SD card didn't last very long, and when it failed, then the cam didn't repport in any means that some recordings was not successfully saved to SD card.
• The suction mount was good for about one and a half year (hash winter condition half of the year), and turned out it was very difficult to aquire a new suction point for this particular model. In general, the suction point works poor in winter condition. I've improoved it using silicon (the same stuff using onto door strip to prevent it from freezing) on the contact point.
• Each recording file contains 5 min long video (can change length of each video file) and a 32GB card holds typically about 5 hours. If you spot something in traffic worth saving, then it is said you can use the emergency button (yellow exclamation). This button is not rustworthy (doesn't give feedback to lock video file, and when you still successfylly press ths one, it still may just began the next video file and thus you don't lock the actual event, only the aftermatch). Don't use the emergency button - instead stop the car, enter browse/view mode and use the menu to manually lock the correct recording.
