I’d like to get a dashcam, but unfortunately my phone isn’t one that has an SD card slot.

I’m going on a road trip soon and would like to pick up a dash cam for it as I’ve had issues in the past.

I’m looking to see if you guys have any cleaner (as in more automated, less fiddly post-setup) solutions than just using an SD Card reader on the phone to manually upload the data to a NAS via VPN

Thanks in advance! I’m definitely more of a tech person than a car person so any help would be appreciated.

Edit: you all seem to be making the same point, I’m coming at this from the wrong POV. I’m worried about vendor lock-in and being reliant on whatever service the vendor wants to use instead of just handling the data myself. But it seems like it shouldn’t be too much of a problem. Thanks for all your answers!
