I’ve used BB for dashcam installs on 2 Teslas previously. Now I see there are very few makes that they install them in. Anyone know if that’s true? I mean that they won’t install in a Tesla any more?
Hi, Just got a new car and need a front camera to help with parking. Don’t want to mess with wiring or risk voiding the warranty.
Anyone tried a solar-powered camera on the front license plate? Is it any good, or are there better plug-and-play options that don’t need hardwiring? Want something easy to install and with minimal lag.
Appreciate any recommendations. Thanks.
Hey guys, so, I just bought a front and rear dash cam for my car and I’m looking for someone who does the hardwiring by connecting the camera to the internal wiring instead of cigarette holder.
I received my vantrue e360 dashcam last week and have been confused as to why it continuously restarts while I’m driving I am using both the 12v socket and the usb to power it I also bought the vantrue hardwire kit but had no success with it I bought new Samsung endurance micro sd card and formatted it in the camera then tried to update my software on the computer to see if that helps but it just keeps giving the same issue of constantly rebooting not sure what else to do or if I’m gonna just return it
Want to be able to pull vid from my pc. Maybe a gopro instead if such a dedicated dashcam does not exist.
Hey guys, my azdome dashcam which is M300 has only 1 quality which is 126.. and only one option of loop recording which is 1 min, i have disabled and enabled the g-sensor and i am using the u3 sd card. Nothing seems to have added the loop time. I'm logged in and account is activated. Any solution since the 1min loops is basically not an ideal option. Also can anyone explain what is the 50hz or 60hz. I have this option but I don't know what does it do.
There are 4 settings on the little box. From 11.8v 23.6v to 12.4v 24.8v. If I want my parking mode to last as long as possible, which setting should I use?
I have a 2024 a3 and recently picked up a vantrue e360 dashcam I purchased the hardwire kit and have been struggling to get it setup I watched a tutorial where someone else with an 8y Audi hardwired his dashcam perfectly fine I tried using the same exact fuse slots he did I made sure my connections were all tight with the batt acc and ground wire yet my dashcam won’t power on at all I tried a couple different fuse slots and had no luck still anyone else have experience hardwiring dashcam to the 8y a3? I’m wondering if there’s something I’m doing wrong or maybe the hardwire kit isn’t good with my car
Hello everyone, I’ll spit my question in the most direct way I can: is it possible, in 2025, that if I want to catch people damaging my car I have to fry my car battery? I mean, any parking mode out there will dry out the battery in 8-12h (with tension filter). How not a single company achieved a real motion detection technology? The thinkware u3000 radar could be ok but the quality of the camera is not good enough for the price imo.
Hi everyone, I'm having a problem with my dash cam, before to access the videos I had to connect to the app, activate the wireless connection between phone and dashcam and then access the collection, but now when I try to connect it keeps telling me "click to reconnect" but nothing changes, has anyone had the same problem?, thanks.
I’ve been working with my dash cam and vehicle hotspot and as far as I can tell, there is no way to record clips to a cloud storage space. Am I correct?
I’m questioning the added cost of the hotspot as I don’t see any other value for having it. I can’t access the SD card files remotely.
Am I missing something here?
Hi guys! I'm new to the dash cam community, so be gentle. I have a Kenwood MKII, and it was working great for a few weeks, but it started doing a thing where it would flicker on and off record for the first 15-20 minutes of my drive before it actually recorded. Also, I just checked my videos this morning and it didn't have any files. It's possible that this is a memory card issue, but I'm not sure. Does anyone have any experience or insight with this? Thank you!
Trying to replicate the Tesla cameras. It seems possible according to the garmin site (see here). But I dont see anyone mentioning it on Reddit. Any tips for installation? I am going to have a shop do the installation but just wondering about people's experiences. thanks in advance!
I've created a custom 3D-printed accessory that secures Rear and Internal camera cables against unauthorized disconnections and damage. It offers a robust, tamper-resistant design while still allowing easy access to the USB and SD card for maintenance. Check it out here https://makerworld.com/models/1065356
Howdy everyone. Just a quick question for anybody that has a VIOFO a139 pro dashcam. If yours also loose? I don't know if it's the extreme Aussie heat but it comes loose most days. Is there a way to lock it on properly, that I'm just missing or something. Does anyone have the same camera, does it have the same mount and have you experienced anything similar. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Hey everyone,
I'm looking for a very small dashcam under €120. I don't necessarily need a display, and the main priority is that it takes up as little space as possible.
I'm undecided between a single-channel (front only) or dual-channel (front and rear) setup. I like the idea of having rear coverage, but only if the size remains minimal.
Right now, I'm considering the 70mai M500 or the m310. does anyone have experience with it? Or do you recommend something better within my budget?
Thanks in advance!
Looking for recommendations for dashcams (front & rear) sold in US that will work well with a 2022 Lexus UX250h Base.
I am concerned about 12v aux battery drain. I already suspect I'll have issues, based on some threads, because I don't drive my car frequently enough. (Car is new to me, just purchased with 42k miles)
Looking for: Hardwired: no preference Low glare, night vision, clear video, friendly app interface.
Just finally pulled the trigger on a dash cam after months and months of analysis paralysis. I decided to go with the Viofo A119 Mini 2 and also got the bluetooth button and CPL filter. I’ll use an adapter to wire to my rear-view mirror. I know I won’t have parking mode - I just want this for while I’m driving. I didn’t want to deal with hardwiring so skipped getting a rear cam. Is this a decent setup? I don’t drive a ton but people are fricken nuts and I want to be more protected in the event of an incident. Any input is appreciated. For reference this is for a ‘21 RAV4 Hybrid.
Clips in order and length. Continuous incident was triggered in the second clip after he brake checked me. Kept trying to hit me from the side, tried getting away and protecting myself best I could without hitting him.
My boyfriend was driving as I had something to drink and he hadn't. We were coming home from a friend's house when this happened. I dont have any idea what possessed this man to make a dangerous turn like that but at the same time what the clip doesn't show is a bus making a stop in the background. My guys is he didn't gadge his speed properly.
Hi. Ive just bought a dashcam which is coming later in the week and I dont plan on hardwiring it because im not too bothered about parking mode just want the camera when im driving. Is there any downsides to not hardwiring?
At first I thought the cop was in a hurry to pull the Gray SUV over for not yielding for the pedestrian. Turns out he was just also in a hurry and not yielding for right of way of oncoming traffic or the pedestrian.
I come from a small community (about 3000 people). A young neighbor near me (probably about 25 years old) drove aggressively and unprovoked against me and then another car (passed me on the shoulder, passed the other car in a no-passing zone, and then brake checked them). I have it on my dashcam video. It clearly shows their license plate number. I don't know this person. Someone could get hurt if they keep driving this way.
What would you do?
I need to know if someone can help me with determining if a dash cam video was altered. The audit long has unknown entries in them
Last year I got a Rexing dashcam and got it installed but radio issues happened shortly after getting one (I don’t think it was 100% related) but I do want to get a different dashcam.
Trying to find a good dashcam for a 2022 Toyota Corolla hatchback within my budget (under $200)
