I don't like leaving obviously expensive items in plain view inside of any of my cars, reason being to prevent a potential car prowl.

This would be better IMO if the camera was more hidden. Not sure if a concealable blackvue-type camera exists...
They do they are just of poor quality. The blackvue (from my observations of these cams) seems to be very stealthy. Most have large 3-4 piece suction cup clips to hold the camera. The Blackvue has a small round cup that 3m's to the windshield and then the camera locks in to the holster. If you are worried about theft you could remove the camera when parked, but honestly most people will think it is part of the mirror or possibly an anti-theft device.
