New dash cam

I went with a Street Guardian SG9665GC along with a hardwire kit. Stealthy and works well though pricey compared to other dashcams.

 

My radar detector is hard wired into my mirror with a wire tap.

 

went with another entune that does not use factory amps and a signal processor for the alpine amps.Not familiar enuff for android units yet but may go with them in my Mustang.

 

I got one of those cheaper smaller go pro session and it's way too wide of an angle. Y'all may want to try the go pro silver instead.

 

Good idea.

 

Kept the steering controls but they do make an adapter that will work too.

 

How did you hard wire that in?

 

bought factory wiring harness adapters
from metra

 

But did you try and tap in at the overhead console? Find a 12v there or did you run it around to the lower fuse box?

 

Got the go pro,1st generation low end model.I just wanted to get up and running quick.its not wired,I just use 2 batteries.will get a better one soon.it does not loop or use wifi

 

adapters from Metra were the speaker adapters,I didn't hard wire the cam

 

Used a

CELLPOWER CPUSB01 12V to 5V MiniUSB Power Adapter with BDP (Battery Discharge Prevention) Low Voltage Cut-Off for Street Guardian SG9665GC (and Other Mini-USB Powered) DashCam Products

Cell Power CPUSB01 Mini USB Power Adapter and ATM Mini Blade Fuse Add-A-Circuit Fuse Holder and ran to the interior fuse box.

 

Cheap Setup for:
Front Cam (Xiaomi Yi 1080P 2.7" Car Vehicle Dash Camera Wifi Data Recorder)


Rear Cam (Thinkware - F50 Dash Cam)


Gopro Mount


Bracket holder from Selfie stick

 

I think he just trolled you.

 

Just did a a install on my truck- toguard

TOGUARD Car Dash Cam WiFi 170 Degree Wide Angle Lens Stealth Full HD 1080P Dash Camera 2.45" IPS LCD Car DVR Road Video Recorder Loop Recording, HDR, Parking Monitor, Motion Detection https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M26N5A5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_hwcFybJMVZCY2

Seems decent, just did a simple installed into cigarette adapter area, hide the wiring behind carpet and weather strip.

Bought it because Wifi capabilities to access clips. Adjustable lens angle.

Will report a video tomorrow with day and night comparison.

 

Here is the night video

Damn that camera is nice. Might be the next thing I buy for the truck. Was it a pain routing and hiding all the wiring? Also does it just plug into the cigarette lighter?

 

The only thing that really bother me was : when I unbox the package saw the cord that complemented th unit to cigarette lighter spot, feeling skeptical about the length

However, saw the suggested installation in the owner's manual, gave me some other ideas to route the wiring behind OEM carpet and to conseal the sight of wiring as much as possible.

So to answer your question, no it's not bad, but if you want to make the wiring looking like it's out of manufacturing plant, you may need to spend extra time and effort to zip tie object underneath the glove compartment box for solution.

The clip above was wifi downloaded, took me a while to figure out the UI for the unit, send straight to youtube for sharing. That is what I wanted!

 

here is the day time clip

(honestly, at 1080 30P, isn't that great...)

TIPS: Wifi download, make sure your unit is set to 5 min mark for the unit to turn off automatically, otherwise, while downloading (280mb), cam will shut off, and you have to start all over again (reconnect with unit and etc...)

the raining days are coming this week, would love to do some more video posting with rain....

 

How did you wire the front can? I just ordered an Akaso and a Matecam 1x
