I am concidering a dashcam for my new ES and wondering if anyone has an experience with them and suggestions as to what brands/models worth to look at?

There are lots of information in this website. Hopefully this could help you select one.

I am currently using one from a Korean manufacturer Lukas. I personally prefer the 12 Volts Korean variety as opposed to the 5 Volts models as it is much easier to conceal the thin 12V power cable.

Thank you! It is a very good starting point.
I have another concern - if I would have that DVR installed, will it possibly attract vandals?

And how difficult is to wire the gadget? Do I need to go professionals (i.e. dealer)?

I wired an E-Prance 0805 camera into mine. It records for 24hrs (roughly) before looping.
Here's a video I did on the install, and in case your interested I'm also posting my video on doing my Radar Detector

I already have my front dashcam installed. Now I want to install one for my rear window but the power sunshade is in the way. Anyone can help or suggest a model that would tuck in nicely?
Thank you in advanced.

I have a spare Blackvue dashcam that I stick directly on the top of my third brake light housing. It does not get in the way of the powered sunshade. Due to the low position, some of the recorded image will be partially blocked by the edge of the car boot, but I guess it is still better than not having one.

Putting it on the top of the third brake light is a great idea. I will look for small one on Amazon. My budget is less than $100 for one. BlackVue is just too pricey....
Thank you for the suggestion!
