Car cam suggestions. Semi-urgent

Hey guys today the most unthinkable happened at the gym. Someone decided to mess with my car. I won't go into details but I need a hidden cam that can get good quality in not so well lit places. I need 2 cams(front and back) I got 25%/35% tint all around but not the windshield. The back cam has to be able to get a good recording at the guy and the front should help back it up. I don't know what is next but I need this thing up fast. Bestbuy and online orders are my options for now. I live in Hawaii so to all you Nissan guys in Hawaii where did you get your cams locally?
Thank you for reading!

I was thinking there might be members who have a current system to catch vandalism of their cars. Maybe I asked the wrong people.

I think the best thing you can do is park it near a CCTV parking lot camera.

Hmm possible but I want one that is stealth(small) and that can be used in the car. Something that can fit between the headrest of the seats.

This is exactly what you need.

Just make sure to do some research on it as there a a few different models and make sure you get the new ones as old have issues with overheating which I'm sure will be a problem in Hawaii.

There is also a separate unit (irrc it's called "black box" or someting like that and costs about $40 or so) for these cameras that lets it be on 24/7 without killing your battery.

A lot of people have been pointing to blackvue. I thought it was expensive for its price. I would buy it now but setback is no paypal or CC. I got the money as a student who saved up but its pretty hard to get a student CC.

That is like the most unique design. I really don't about the quality since I always had a suspicion on sites with not so "modern" or attractive layouts. I jut found a Chinese imitation of decent black boxes for around $60. This guy on youtube I think it was user: carcamcentral he does reviews for car cam stuff and he did the blackvue which is really pricey and also comparison of imitation from China/Hong Kong. I am about to order 1 or 2 through a friend, the imitations of most products are actually good, my webcam which I got from my cousin was really good and had nice features more standard ones didn't have at the time and they still don't have today!
Ill let you know when it arrives and I can do some small videos if you would like to see real quality.

I'm not sure I'm understanding. That company doesnt look good because of the website? They sell very high quality stuff, I looked into their dash-cam and it is very good (I plan to maybe buy as well)! As far as I'm concerned their products appear very professional and of very good quality!
