Are there any privacy friendly dash cams on the market? Something that doesn’t phone home, require shady brand apps, force me into cloud storage, etc.

I mean, a normal dashcam from Walmart or something should suffice. I don’t think the cheap ones use any internet stuff.
Yea I didn’t know internet dashcams like the above existed, sounds like it would be expensive to get the same benefits out of it. A dashcam should work like a blackbox, it can’t lose data during a collision. The data should be easily accessible and not locked behind some proprietary format.
I’ve heard Garmin recommended for watches, maybe similar for dashcams? But again, like others are saying, most brands should probably be ok
Better to look for other factors like tolerance to shake/temperature or video quality in poor conditions (darkness, fog, glare)
I think his issue is the AD hoc wifi connectivity to phones and relying on 3rd party apps to view/download the footage.
Seems to me anything with a SD card and a live view screen would do.
GPS is nice since it’ll track speeds. The issue is wifi and bluetooth
