Which Camera

After being nearly driven off the road tonight by a very aggressive HGV driver - less than one car length behind me in a restricted 50mph motorway section, I want to get a recording camera fitted, to both both front and rear windscreens.
Anyone got any recommendations please?

Front one for me is a Nextbase 512G. I haven’t yet fitted a rear one but Nextbase do offer one.
Key but to check is it really should be Full HD (1080) and have good low light response too.

Have a look at this, got one for daugthers little Merc but so impressed i bought one for the X5.
Cheap price and if you dont like it send it back say its faulty
Lots of settings etc, fits very neatly to X5 windscreen
I got the matching wiring kit they sell and fed the live to the drivers side vanity mirror
Works a treat,, even has wifi so you can look at vids on your phone marvellous
Not sure why 2 pics appeared but struggling with the Tinypic system

Look at the VIOFO A119 V2 Version Dash Cam . Great reviews. Will be buying this for the wife’s car.
I have the the DDPai M6 Plus (WiFi HD 1440P (2K) Dash Cam, GPS Logger, 140 Degree Wide Angle, Night Vision, Loop Recording, Parking Monitor)
The main reason was my wanting a parking mode, which continues to take a frame per second unless it detects a shunt. ( car is often parked in multi level car parks)

I bought the one in the amazon link back in October and it's a good bit of kit.
Last night was the first time out in the dark with it and i was surprised that it still showed in colour.
Only downside for me is it doesn't automatically connect to your phone (after you initially pair them) you have to press the button and for me that means moving the mirror every time and my left hand is dead sort of (nerve damage bike accident) but still a good bit and for that money.
