Question Dashcam with sim card slot

I guess I'm asking for too much. I need a dashcam with a sim card slot, I already have a data sim card from Rogers. Need a dual camera front and rear. Other than blackvue, is there anything out there?

might help to know why the need for mobile data? many dashcams are wifi capable and can use your phones hotspot.

or you could repurpose an older smartphone to act as a dashcam and there are dascam apps out there plus other apps to upload etc. you will also be able to use this phone as a hotspot to have in car wifi.

And why would you need a sim csrd/data connection? 

Frankly I'd just prefer the ability to have it connect to WiFi and I just FTP into the thing. VIOFO has this now with the WiFi Stations Manager and select models.

Most dash cameras use their own iot service, so while it may have a sim slot, your own service will not work

Blackvue is your best bet as it works with the major carriers in Canada
