The read

What's actually worth knowing.

The camera needs to stay plugged into power at all times through a USB-C cable, so it's not battery powered. This is actually by design to avoid overheating issues.
You'll need to buy an SD card separately, up to 256GB, since none comes in the box.
Night vision is handled through a wide aperture lens rather than infrared, so it depends on available light from streetlights or other sources.

As of Aug 14, the Dash Cam 1296P Front Dashcam is a good price at $28.49 — versus a $27.94 typical price and a $15.98 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
