How to choose the right dash cam for my Mazda CX-5?

will the CX5's 360 cam do any of the functions of a dash cam?

I know the Tesla cams have been used to catch vandals, etc.

What good would that do if police refuse to go after these thieves?
BayArea has so many quarter window breakins in recent years.
People refrain from going out for dinner at certain hot zones....

Yeah, I have heard a few stories about car break ins around San Fran. Two of my co-workers actually had their rentals broken into while visiting.
 
I don't live in SFO, so let me ask again...

will the mazda 360 cam do any of the functions of an aftermarket dash cam?

Nobody has actually tried yet, afaik. Probably faster, easier, and maybe even cheaper to just get a dual dashcam setup.
 
Do you all have a suggestion for a WiFi or cloud based Dashcam?

Check the Blackview cameras

+1 for the BlackVue cameras.
Not a cheap solution, but unobtrusive and great video quality and support.
I'm running the 750S F&R system in both of my cars and am VERY satisfied.

Thanks. Are you using the Parking mode as well? If so, which method are you using for the power? And, may I ask if you did the install as well?

I am using parking mode whenever the car isn't in my garage.
I'm powering it with a Power Magic Pro: https://www.thedashcamstore.com/blackvue-power-magic-pro-battery-discharge-prevention-module/
I DID install it myself. Very easy if you've ever installed a car stereo.
BTW, here's a link to the 750S that I purchased from these folks: https://www.thedashcamstore.com/bla...al-1080p-gps-wifi-dashcam-for-front-and-rear/

Their prices are competitive and they offer GREAT customer service.
They also have install videos online that can guide you to a professional and unobtrusive installation.
