Default Dash cameras

Whilst looking at cameras for outside the house I got thinking about dash cams. Looking for something with date and time and clear picture. What do you have and how good is it?

No need to spend a lot of money, I bought one of these, had it about six months, comes on with the ignition.

I've got the Nextbase 402G from Halfords and although quite pricey compared to some cameras, is very good both picture quality and feature wise.

If you take the micro SD card out and pop it into your PC, it opens google maps to trace your route on the recorded journey inc speed. It works well in low light too.
