Many dashcams have a screen built in which helps to align the camera in your car. Screen is ok for quick viewing of incident and will show what happened including traffic lights. With all cameras you can put the card into your phone or pc to view.
Some have WiFi connection to your phone but I've not had any yet. These don't need a screen.
Also mount the camera so you can see that it is recording. Mine has a flashing led when in record mode and I have it stuck in front of rear-view mirror but so I can see the light from driver's seat. Sometimes it is not recording because the charger is out slightly. I also have the screen set to auto turn off after 1min.
You may need to consider getting a cigarette lighter extension with extra ports including usb ports.
