Best dash cam for night driving.

Hi folks;
I work nights & do a lot of driving.
I need to buy a dashcam. I don't want wifi, or GPS--just a front facing cam.
Small,discreet,and really good for nights,and removable.All for city driving.
Any suggestions?
Thank you all :-)
Best answer: I have been using an i-Tentek B40C since July 2016, and I'm reasonably happy with it.
Make sure you get a dashcam with a supercapacitor providing shutdown power rather than a battery, especially if you live in a hot climate. (I live in Houston, Texas, US and had two dashcams die during two consecutive summers before I learned this lesson.)
I'd also suggest getting a dashcam with a GPS receiver, even if you don't care about geotagging your footage. The reason for this is so you'll always have accurate timestamps without having to worry about manually setting a clock.

There's a box on the right side that tracks their latest recommendations. They even have recommendations for removable/rear-facing night cameras if you're doing something like driving an Uber.
