79% of smart dash cams we tested had security flaws and concerns, and in some cases they were breaking the law - Out of 28, only six didn't have any concerns. (www.which.co.uk)

I would love a DIY open source option but I haven’t been able to find cheap available sensors that would survive a hot car.

Then again if the security really is this bad, maybe you could jailbreak and toss your own firmware on existing cameras. Hmmm

    Pro tip: many that ship with an SD inside will have the factory firmware and device-specific keys still recoverable on the card (secure erase is too slow for production I guess) so before turning the device on for the first time, remove the card and image it for maximum chance of recovering the FW intact.
