Features I'm looking for:

-Some sort of auto-cloud upload capability would be ideal.
-Not super obvious/intrusive
-Long recording time
-Motion activated
I guess I can just buy another Go-Pro if worse comes to worse but I really don't need all the bells and whistles it has.

What did you get and why are you disappointed?
-Battery: for any dashcam, you can get a battery/power pack which will extend the use without relying on car's battery. I see no point to this since I get power from the car directly.
-recording time depends on your settings and memory card.
-I personally dont know of any dashcam that has auto backup to cloud/online storage. main reason is the amount of data that needs to be constantly uploaded I assume. There needs to be a dedicated connection for when you are not around i.e. tethering with your phone.
