Discrete dash camera?
I don't have my 2018 F-Type yet, but have been thinking of installing a small discrete dash camera. I don't need or want one with a screen, just the ability to hold a few hours of video that I can download to my iPhone if and and when I need it. I'm a bit torn over all the brand names and features, but know that I want one that will discretely tuck up over the rear view mirror if possible. I want something that is small but effective and doesn't need a ton of unsightly wiring going to and from it. What suggestions do you folks have?

I started out using a Copcam (miniature spy camera). It worked well, but the video was only 720p. It also only had about 45 minutes of runtime. I then added a USB battery pack which solved the runtime issues.
I upgraded to a 70mai dashcam pro. The video quality is much better. It is fairly small, but does have a small screen.
The sheer number of dashcams available can be bewildering. I found lots of good info at https://dashcamtalk.com/

I have the garmin 66W. Small, good quality, simple. They also had an even smaller no-screen version. I bought a couple of yrs ago so they prob have a new model now but has been great for me
You have to run power - I just used the long usb cable tucked into windscreen surround and A pillar into a usb charge port so you can't even see it. No permanent hard wiring required! Took 5 mins to install.
