Good evening.

I'm going to install my wifes dashcam in her 2021 nissan rogue SV FWD. I'd like to hardwire it as well.

The HK4 hardwire kit is a 3 wire. Ground/Acc/Bat. Ground is obvious but for those who have installed a 3 wire kit, what fuses did you tap into for the battery and acc?

Does anyone know how to read this? What does the letters and number mean?

Read through the pinned beginner guide on this post but still am unsure about what’s best for me I’d prefer a front and rear dash cam that has a parking mode on it for while parked. My biggest concern is that I have 5% tint on my rear window and am not sure if it would make it hard to use a rear dash cam, and it so what would be some good recommendations. Ideally I would want either wireless or hardwired (no 12v cigarette lighter).

I had the Nexar dash cam for about a year until it broke due to the cold. Now I’m in search for a new one, but trouble finding the perfect one. I’m looking for a dash cam with

-App connectivity (most important to me) -Front and interior cabin camera -Works well in colder or hotter climates -Clear and clean footage

Price max being $300-400 Any suggestions would be appreciated!!!

Hi guys

Currently looking for a LTE cellar dash cam that also has a built in cabin view. My main concern is being able to remotely live view the cabin while someone else is driving. Currently looking at options from BlackVue but unsure if cabin view can be remotely viewed.

Appreciate the help guys

The guy stalking me placed a gps tracker on my car but we haven't found it yet. He will need to return to change the gps battery or place a new device so I need a very reliable camera that either records 24/7 in park mode or has a sensor that will auto record plus alert me when there is movement near my car.

I understand the cam will need to be hardwired to my battery. Any brand/model suggestions?

I'm just wondering if anyone that happened to record an accident happening on their dash cam successfully sent that footage to any of the involved parties.

I'd imagine it'd be a lot easier in local roads where stopping to get off and exchange contact information is a lot simpler, but on freeways I can imagine it'd be a lot harder to stop and get out to send the footage over.

If you have ever been able to give or receive dashcam footage from someone, how did the exchange happen? (AirDrop, email, etc)

If you've recorded an accident but haven't been able to send it to the involved parties, what reasons were there?

It's to my understanding that Reddit is the only general forum where people can post/share footage of accidents. I was thinking it might be nice to have a platform where people involved in accidents (but don't have dashcams) can post the details of their accident (time, location, vehicle, etc.) and any passerbys that happened to record the incident can post their footage. I have doubts about feasibility but would it be helpful??

The adhesive included with the U1000 rear cam is too weak to secure it to the hard-touch plastic around the edge of my Corolla hatchback.

I also needed to take the cam off my rear windshield where I originally had it to get the back window tinted so I'd rather not mess with the tint and would want to mount it to the plastic bezel instead.

I need to buy a new adhesive. Can someone recommend a good way to mount it to the hard-touch rough plastic like the one below?

This is an example of the rough hard plastic I mean

I bought an A119 last fall and installed it in my new truck using g the included 3m adhesive tape. It stuck to the windshield fine during the colder months. Lately since the weather is warming it started falling off. The camera came with a spare 3m sticker. I pulled the old tape off, cleaned the windshield and the puck off well with alcohol. But today got in the truck and the camera had fallen off again. This time the 3m tape stuck to the windshield but released from the puck.

Any tips on getting this thing to stick permanently? 3m is usually good stuff but apparently I need something better.

Looking for a good pair that doesn't look at my interior! I got 5% tint on the back 35%on front

Can anyone recommend a dash cam viewing out the back? I have a garmin mini 2 for the front which I love, it's so discreet. Looking for something similar for the back. The smaller the better.

I am planning to buy a Viofo A229 Pro 3CH dash cam. I will be hardwiring it to my car with Viofo's hardwire kit.

I am looking for a suitable 512GB SD card for it. I have done some research on the internet and so far I've gathered that I would need a durable card with good write speeds as the camera would record in 4K and there will be 3 video streams to save. There are so many options available but I am not completely sure which one would work the longest and best.

Any suggestions are highly appreciated.

I just bought a new viofo A119 mini 2 with their HK4 hardwire kit.

When the car turns on, the USB-C tip has power (it can charge my phone) but when I plug it into the dashcam, the dashcam doesn't turn on. Occasionally, on startup the power light will flash for a split second before turning off. I believe I installed the fuses correctly (ACC to a switched 20A fuse, BAT to an always-on 15A fuse, ground to frame).

This made me think the camera itself was faulty, but it works fine not hardwired (i.e. plugged into the car's cigarette lighter port).

Has anyone encountered this issue or have any suggestions?

Does anyone know if the Apeman C580B has a lithium battery or super capacitor ?

I need your help finding a dash cam that doesn't have loop recording or has a long loop recording time like 1 hour before the video decides to loop record. I really need your help

Anyone have experience hardwiring a dash cam to a DN8 Sonata? I was having trouble figuring out which fuses to tap into. I wanted to use one of the empty slots but I was having trouble with my multimeter so I wasn't able to see which of them could be active. I ended up tapping my ACC into my cluster fuse and my battery into the trunk. Both are 10 amp fuses but I may reroute it. Anyone who has done this, I would love to know where you tapped into. Thank you!

I needed a dash cam solely for this purpose. I would want it to record when parked and have enough of a wide viewing angle to catch someone in the act ideally. What’s a cheap and cheerful model that will do the job?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me with an issue I’m having with a Nextbase dash cam. I’m not sure the exact model, but I bought it quite recently and it works with the MyNextbase app.

Its just that when I press the Nextbase logo button, it seems to start recording and save a clip from when I press it which seems completely pointless because whatever I’m trying to clip will have already happened. It there a way to make it clip the last 2/3 minutes?

Thanks

I think it retailed around $150 maybe 8 years ago. Not sure which would be better, todays cheapie or yesterdays “decent” camera

Hey everyone. I have a Thinkware F200 and I’m trying to figure out how to mute the audio. Not the recording audio but the camera voice. I have the parking mode activated and everytime I get in it tells me how many parking incidents there were and that the parking mode is active. I’m trying to mute this feature.

If so, did you give the footage to all parties involved or only to the person you believed to not be at fault? I have always wondered what I should do if I happened to record crucial footage and if I should be fair to both/all parties. I’m not sure if the at fault party could alter the footage in their favor or somehow use it to defend themselves. But who am I as a spectator to decide who was in the wrong unless it’s blatantly obvious? Overthinking this clearly…

I searched first!! but all the threads were older & said the tech wasn't there yet.

My use case is that I have an older truck (2008) that I enjoy driving, but my wife would prefer I have something newer with a FCW like her car has.

I see some positive mentions in Amazon reviews - but anything actually work for FCW & lane keep assist?

Thanks!
