Dash Cam Recommendations?
Was hoping to get recommendations on a dashcam. I guess I'm looking for something that records and uploads to a cloud based service automatically and is accessible from my phone. Is there anything like that?

Keep in mind automatic cloud uploads will require a subscription, both for the cloud service and for mobile data for the camera

Make sure it loop records. Its a pest to keep formatting your sd card to empty it

Not that many do automatic uploads. I think the BlackVue DR970X Series and the Thinkware U3000 both support automatic cloud uploads and remote access to footage from your phone, provided your dash cam is connected to the internet via a mobile hotspot.
Its more common that they save to memory card and have Wi-Fi for direct phone access. Most Viofos do.
FWIW I recently did an analysis on reddit data on dash cams. Basically ranked them by aggregated sentiment (in the past year). Maybe you'll find the results helpful https://redditrecs.com/dash-cam/ You can get a breakdown of what ppl have said about the most often recommended ones (disclaimer some links are affiliate they help fund the analyses)
