79% of smart dash cams we tested had security flaws and concerns, and in some cases they were breaking the law - Out of 28, only six didn't have any concerns. (www.which.co.uk)

I wouldn’t worry about it too much. You can get some without WiFi. You just have to yank the microsd if you want to see the files. The one I have has WiFi but it’s so slow I can’t even preview videos. I have to connect to its WiFi, so unless it’s randomly connecting to open WiFi’s while I’m driving without my knowledge, I can’t see how it would transit much.

Don’t spend too much though. They break after a couple years. Especially if you live in a hot climate like a desert.

Yeah. If you get one that only records to an SD card and has no wireless connections of any kind, it would be pretty hard for that to have any security/privacy concerns.
