Are there any privacy friendly dash cams on the market? Something that doesn't phone home, require shady brand apps, force me into cloud storage, etc.

The Viofo A119 V3 might be what you're looking for. It unfortunately doesn't have the best sensors that the company produces but it also doesn't have built in GPS, voice control, Bluetooth, or WiFi. Also the mic has a button to enable or disable.

own an A229 pro. you can disable GPS and any other nasty features on there, and you can use it without the app afterwards. just take out the sd card. also doesn't have any network bullshit in the app, since you connect to the cam directly through wifi.

do recommend, there's a shortage of these for a reason.
