Default Camera system?

This is the closest topic board I could find for this question. I have dash cams in all my vehicles and wanna equip my Road King with a 360 degree, auto on/off HD cam on it. Is there a better option than the Insta360 ONE X2? I want something low-key and stealthy. Any real-life experience here? Maybe even tips on installation?

I cannot think of one as all of the automotive cameras require a reverse switch to the auto on/off functions.

The THINKWARE Sports M1 Dash Cam looks like it has everything I want and it's actually cheaper than most at $350.

Just curious is all because electrical mods and inventing solutions are fun (unlike solving electrical gremlin problems) Anyway if the auto on/ feature was needed full time on any camera. full time, why not just pigtail the 2 wires from the camera that get the reverse signal? Just curious

I was thinking of backup camera, not GoPro type or dash cam type.

Got the cams mounted atop the headlight and next to the tail light. Also upgraded the headlights to J.W. Speaker Model 8790 Adaptive 2 LED headlights (3) and LED Tail lights and turn signals by Custom Dynamics.
