Best Dashcam for 2012 mcs

I'm looking for a good dash cam with both front and back cameras. I would prefer if it plugged into my 12 volt and is able to fit in front of my mirror but not be to bulky to be obstructing my view. Any body have suggestions?

Wolfbox on Amazon 10” rear view mirror a d dashcam

I got the smaller 10inch rear view mirror and dash cam. Ran the wire to the back. Built a special adapter to hood the camera in the third brake light so that its always above the headlights and misses the rear clubman swing doors.
it also includes a dashcam which is awesome.
now I have recorded rear and front view.
works really well at night and during the day.

How's the mounting situation? To the vents or a sticky that attaches to the dash ?

This seems like an interesting and pretty viable option. I hate having wires run in front of my field of view and having that dash cam there is pretty annoying as well. I will give this a look into thank you
