I'm looking for a dash cam that can be fitted over my rear view mirror and is wire free/Bluetooth etc. If it incorporates a sat nav or a rear view camera, then so much the better.

Any recommendations anyone ?

Thanks.

There are no dashcams that are wire-free, they need a power source and batteries will not suffice.

This looks like the best of the bunch

but no satnav, and you need wires for the reversing camera and power.

I have a Bkackvue front and rear system and had it professionally fitted.
There are wires, about 4cm long coming down from the roof lining, thats all.
A really tidy setup....

Do you mind if I ask how much that cost?

Thanks, guys, for this helpful input. Each and every day technology gets more and more advanced, so maybe I'll get what I want one day, but in the meantime what's been referred to here will do the job nicely.

I have a rear view mirror dashcam, works well, wire is hidden. Looked at Gps but in the end Bluetooth radio with my phone works well.

I like the discreteness, easy to use.

Your system could well be what I was hoping for. It'd be great if you could kindly provide more specific details.

Many thanks !

It's true, though. No matter how much one thinks that one knows about anything, there is always ( thank goodness ! ) someone out there that knows a f--k sight more !

this is my one, i also have a Bluetooth stereo. the wire is just threaded around the dash to plug,
android stereo,if you get a wifi one much easier to get video.

i think you want something like this, which i think has too much going on, i lime mine as it is install and forget. When you touch the screen it sometimes moves the camera. I would get a dashcam rear view with an

Pricey and not wireless but Blackvue has many great features like wifi, GPS and park mode recording.
