Hey NathanG, do you have a picture of the camera in the vehicle?I run a pair of these mounted to gopro mounts, powered by usb extensions on aux 1. I swapped the batteries with super capacitors to handle the Arizona heat.
I like them because they are low profile, and very reliable. Not super fancy but pretty inexpensive and customize able.

Hi Clark. I'm a happy owner of the Blacksys CH-200 dual dash camera that I purchased from blackboxmycar.com .First off, I appreciate the feedback from my accident thread! After thinking about it and how I run camera's (go pro) full time on my motorcycle as insurance after being hit on a motorcycle years ago, it made me realize I need something on the jeep. I am unfamiliar so I thought I would reach out to people on here and see if anybody has any recommendations in terms of dash-cams. I also want something to aim out of the back window in case something similar happens to what I went through this past weekend. Thanks guys!

That's odd, I searched every term with cam, camera, dash, etc and that never showed up. Sorry to create another thread and thanks for this.Some more good options discussed here: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/dash-cameras-i-want-one-but-whats-good.3310/
I run the same camera and hardwired in as well. I record front and interior with sound 24/7. 256 GB Micro SD card. Love it. Sans the fingerprint on the monitor screen.I bought this cam on Amazon. I hardwired it in so no wires running anyway. Best camera (IMO) handsdown.

Front and rear camera in 1080p.
I like what I saw yesterday, but I would like to see another camera for the back as just the one camera has it's limitations for covering the rear.
Thank you for the details, this is very lightweight!These cams were originally designed for drones or rc or for a lightweight sports cam. They have no display. They can be easily configured with a software over usb to be used as a dash cam with loop recording and auto record with power on. There are lots of instructions for this online.
I mounted them with a small gopro adapter and a gopro to tripod adapter. I just screwed it into the plastic near my rear view mirror with some short self tapping screws. (GASP) You can buy usb chargers with a long wire designed for hard wiring on amazon.
For the rear I cobbled together a similar mount with some gopro arms I had lying around.
The nice thing is you get a much better view out the rear than you would with an all in one camera. They record to micro sd cards and loop record in 1080p. I do recommend installing the super capacitor battery as they are much more durable in the heat. A camera without this will likely not last thru the summer if its hot where you live.
The other nice thing about this setup is you can run with no roof and still get rear video. You can see my home made sun shield for leaving it parked. I have been known to leave the cameras running thru the Aux menu by enabling constant power if parked at a trail head with the roof off.
