Toyota sells an OEM camera that goes to the left of the big radar box behind the mirror. They don't have a rear camera in the US, the OEM is expensive and not the highest quality, and the app is klunky. I had THINKWARE U3000 Pro front and rear installed in CSL. These have excellent quality and are the best parking mode for recording someone hitting your car without draining the battery. Viofo A329 is a very highly rated option.
Reviews of THINKWARE parts For Business

The brand I recommend is thinkware, and they have a pretty handy OBDII plug option which makes the wiring portion of it friendly. Including for parking mode. The U3000 is a great unit.
Purchased a Thinkware 3000Pro and having it installed tomorrow on my new A5. I used to own the Thinkware F770 (front and rear) on my A6 and loved it.
I use the Thinkware Q200. Performance is good and you can power it from the Homelink Rearview Mirror with an adapter from MX5Things.
I professionally fit Dashcams. No not at an orange vendor. I run a Thinkware u3000 in all my vehicles. Love it.
The day after delivery I had a Thinkware u3000 dashcam front and rear added with external power supply. The camera parking mode is what got me and the web access.
Thinkware is the best quality dashcam, although they are pricier than other dash cams. But I install Thinkware on all my cars, front and rear.
I’ve had my Thinkware F800 Pro for almost 6 years now, it’s been installed in 3 diff cars and worked great in all of them. Dual channel (front and rear cams), motion detection, parking mode, the works with 1080p vid quality.
Thinkware has been great for me
Here's an update on why I posted this thread. I have a Thinkware F750 Dashcam w/ the Hard wiring accessory so I can record (in parking mode) with the engine off but the cam fires up as soon as I turn the ignition and will record full time.
