Dash cam suggestion? (lemmy.world)

I just got my first car and I was thinking I should probably get a dash cam since it has to stay in the driveway, but I feel out of my depth. I don't have a lot of money so I'm hoping for one that is at most around AU$100. I also think covering both front and rear would be best, but obviously will take advice on that regard. Are there any specific ones you would recommend? I feel completely out of my depth. Also, I'm located in Australia if that makes a difference.

I got a 70mai A800SE with rear cam, not high end but it's pretty ok. It does come with parking surveillance mode but it's an addon kit sold separately. The downside is same as other digital cam, it can't do night-time capture well, plate number will be blurry if the car is moving, and any light shine at the cam will be displayed as a light sphere.

Not sure if its available in Australia though.
