I have a Thinkware TW-F750 with Thinkware TWA-IFR Infrared Interior Cam.
It has GPS to record date, time, speed, and coordinates overlaid on the video. It also has WIFI which allows you to connect to it using the Thinkware phone app, which you use to set it up, as well as view live and recorded videos. Have an incident worth saving? Download it to your phone easily over wifi so it can be sent to police, insurance, youtube, etc.
Pop the SD card into your PC and use the Windows Thinkware app to watch clips on your computer.
If you hardwire it, it will record while the car is parked too.
It has other bells and whistles, like lane departure warning, red light camera alerts and more. Features you don't want can be disabled.
I've had it for several months and have yet to get a rider that notices it. Slightly pricey but well worth it IMO.

Go with Vantrue N2. Set it to 10-minute loop recording, G-Sensor low, dual lens recording (inside and out)... you're good to go!
I have been using it for more than a year now. No issues so far.

Which store/s offer these cameras? Is Amazon a solid starting point?

I use a Viofo A119 with GPS for front view, and some cheap off brand with IR leds for rear and passenger view.
I am considering adding one or two more to more fully cover side views.
FRONT CAM
The Viofo A119 is awesome. Super wide front view at 2560x1440, makes license plates easy to read even at some distance. Controls and menus are a little less than intuitive, but otherwise a great unit.
Takes up to 128GB micro SD, and that gives it nearly 12 hours recording time. I use a 64GB and get 5.8 hours recorded.
Easy windshield mounting and hides behind mirror so it does not block your view.
At $85 with gps mount at Amazon, it's a great value.
REAR CAM:
Some off brand china made crap that was $35. Was originally my front cam till I realized it was nowhere near HD quality. But it has IR leds for night vision, so it's useful as a rear facing camera.
I'm considering adding one more either like this or the cobra 835, and point this one right rear, and the new on mounted on the right front pillar and pointed left rear for better side coverage.
(Gotta catch those Priusholes in my blind spots)

Uniden has great customer service but not true 1080p quality though it gets the job done. The suction mount broke on mine and I contacted their customer service through Facebook and not only did they send me a replacement mount, they sent me TWO! Free of charge and shipping was free. The replacement mounts arrived about a week after contacting them.
The camera I have is a bit pricey $70 from BestBuy but there are better cams out there. It was a spontaneous buy for me but the only complaint I have is the quality as it's not true hd.

"Best Buy" needs to renamed "Best Scam". Prices are double what they should be.
The "not true HD" cams are $35 on Amazon.
A real cam with better than HD is 85 (FOVIO A119)
