Rear view dash cam choices

Hello everyone, On my 2005 R53 I would like to install one of those rear view dash cams to my original rear view mirror, as I am getting old and I have it on my VW (oem) and I like to have the same function on the MINI. Does anyone have any experience purchasing, installing and the best quality of camera for my MINI.

Your comments would be appreciated

THX

I had this one professionally installed today in my 2022 MINI convertible:

The new rearview mirror dashcam works, but isn't as bright and glarefree as the original rearview mirror. That said, its better than trying to see through the folded open top of a convertible.
