Best Discrete Dash Cam?

Been looking for a decent dash cam for a while and then today I went and bought the Transcend Drivepro 200 but it is just too big and rather bulky so returning it tomorrow.
Can't see many posts on here about what everyone is using so what are you guys using, I am looking for something discrete that can be tucked away.

Thanks
Gaz

A bit of DIY involved but this is the cleanest dashcam install I've seen and will hopefully finish off my install soon.

That looks perfect, are you using the mobius dashcam as in the thread? Any links to the cam as I hear there are a lot of fakes out there.

Yeah. I'm using a Mobius. I got it off ebay from a trusted seller but it doesn't look like they're active right now.

Good thread here listing legit places to buy from. I've bought stuff from Banggood so can vouch for them.

This is a good one direct from China

I went for the A118C, it was the best reasonably priced discreet cam i could find at the time.

Heres it installed, from driver side you can barely notice it and as its hardwired into the fuse box theres no plugging in, switching on/off malarkey.

Thanks mate, that is quite nice for the price. Decided to go with the mobius in the mirror enclosure, little bit more costly but looks factory and all the wires are tucked away nicely.

If I could trust myself to get it to look that good I'd get myself one straight away, that looks really good

Good shout on the mirrored enclosure, i can imagine that being very hard to spot.
