Best Dash type camera

Thinking of installing a camera in my C6 to record my cruises. Looked at GoPro, but not sure if that is the answer. What have you guys done? Looking for good advice. Thanks in advance.

GoPro is great but overkill for in-car use; you pay for compact size, environmental protection and good battery life, which are less important for driving. A good dashcam will be way less expensive.

What is a high quality dashcam to get?

Garmin gets lots of good reviews for their range, which runs from under $100 for one without a display (uses a smartphone app instead) and around $150 for one with a built-in display.

I thought the high quality dash cams were in the $400 range + add front and rear cameras then labor install time.
