79% of smart dash cams we tested had security flaws and concerns, and in some cases they were breaking the law - Out of 28, only six didn't have any concerns. (www.which.co.uk)

Those WiFi SD cards probably aren't any more secure than the cameras.

If the camera supports downloading video over USB, you can get a USB OTG cable to connect it to a phone or tablet. Otherwise a card reader is the way to go.

The camera's USB interface tends to be rather slow, sometimes not even using the full USB 2.0 speed. USB-C card readers sometimes have USB 3.0 and internal ones are very fast, so you're only limited by the medium's read speed. And it allows a card swap if you have 2 so you can keep recording with a brief pause.
