I am getting to be a dab hand at fitting dash cams to my car (I think this is No. 4 so far during 2018). Some are a little fiddly to install and configure -- but not the Apeman C860 dash cam[1].

This dash cam comes with a front and rear camera[3]. Fortunately, there is loads of wire to reach the back window of my station wagon. I need to make sure there is slack in the cable so it does not damage the cable when I open the tailgate door.
The C860 is a well-built, high-resolution dash cam with a 2.7-inch TFT screen and 960x240-pixel resolution. It records 1440p (2560 x 1440p at 30fps) at the front and 1080p if you use the front and rear camera simultaneously.
It has a 150 wide -angle view and an F2.0 large aperture lens and will loop in 1-, 3-, or 5-minute loops. Its WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) feature improves the quality of images in low-light conditions -- a really useful feature.
It has the ability to take up to 12-megapixel still images and record in-car audio. Fortunately, there is a mute feature in video preview or video mode if you do not want to be reminded of what was said.

Inside the box is the camera, charger, and cable, a suction mount, which has stayed in its original place for over a week. It also has a sticky mount and extra sticky pads.
There is a rear camera and a really long cable to slot down the length of the car. You do need to provide your own formatted SD card
