Any good options for replacing front/rear cameras?

I have an old 2014 LX 570. Are there any good options to upgrade front and/or rear camera that also serves as dash cam like features?

I changed to a front 12v camera when I did the hex grille. Note that the camera is 6v and most aftermarket are 12v.

Using that as a “dashcam” would be kinda wonky.
- it’s more facing the ground than “driver view”
- you’d need to figure out how to record etc.
- plus the camera quality is meh.

For dashcam, I’d suggest getting a separate unit. I been happy with Viofo A229. There a tons of options at various price points.

I tried swapping the rear camera but the video is 480p so fancy cameras won’t really help much unless you change out your nav system screen too
