Dash cam

BMSE92_Harry · 10-04-2017, 03:48 AM

Who has dash cam installed in their car?
I'm currently looking for one and have a friend that's using an Aukey one from Amazon and got good review. Wondering if anyone else have anything they want to share.
I know there's a post for another model in this forum as well. If anyone has something different, dual front and rear recording that they like, please share!

I have this one. It goes on your rear view mirror.

This is an excellent kit. It looks OEM, installs easily via a plug and play harness and remains hidden in your car:

I run two iOn Dashcams.... one front on suction cup and one rear mounted between the defrost strips.

Love how people will start to tailgate me and realize there is a camera looking right at them and they back off.

I have an A119 (1440p30) mounted to the right of the rain sensor. It's hardwired to the 12v socket fuse behind the glovebox.

I want a rear camera but haven't figured out a clean install yet.

same here! I really want a rear camera!

Something like this:

I wonder if a front dash mounted rear facing camera that captures the driver, passengers and everything outside the rear window and side windows would work better as a rear camera instead of a rear camera mounted at the back window? Just in case when the cops pull you over.

like this but with a better view out the back window:

This is EXACTLY why I want a rear dash cam!

I'm thinking of getting one of the 4g version of this - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...-security-came

Kickstarter for borrowed Chinese technology?!

Don't do it bro. There are ones like this on Alibaba/eBay/Amazon for cheaper although none of them seem to review well.

I'm waiting for the tech to get better on these 360 dome cameras.

I have the thinkware f770. It has parking mode and an internal voltage regulator to shut off if your battery voltage becomes too low. You can get the thinkware with a rear facing dashcam or just use the front. Video quality is really good and picks up audio well.

Blackvue is compact and has lots of great features, though pricey.

yikes! That is super expensive!

But it gets stellar reviews and is exactly what I am looking for in a rear/font dash set up!

I only got the front facing dash cam which was about 300$. I'm going to buy the rear facing dash cam later on. Probably around thanksgiving. But look at this way, I spend one paycheck now to save ten or more paychecks down the road.

John 070 · 10-06-2017, 03:19 PM

I still haven't gotten around to getting one, but I thought a lot of folks like BlackVue which can be purchased at Costco (front/rear)...now I see there is some talk about Thinkware?

Here's a good site for some dash cam and radar detector reviews. He was on the smoking tire podcast, he seemed pretty knowledgable.

I installed the CYHY one on my E90 and I'm very happy. Looks OEM, and the ability to grab the files via WiFi is nice (although slow).

sea6speed · 10-11-2017, 09:30 PM

Do people steal these? I'm hesitant to leave anything in my car that might make it more of a theft target.

BMW_SYNERGY · 10-11-2017, 11:52 PM

I just finished installing the BMW Advanced Car Eye on my e90. It has Front & Rear facing cameras. OEM integration and nice features. Boots up with a BMW logo too. Has GPS and software that looks to show alot more data if needed. Still haven't checked that portion out yet.

So far it looks to be a very good investment. I'm happy with the look & the wide angle covers alot of area.

Might want to add it to your Option List.

ECS has it. If you shop around it can be had for under $300.

I have a mini 0906 which comes with two HD cameras (front and back) parking guard and GPS. Mine was £125 with a hard wiring kit which I have put into my E90 via fuses (piggy backed them). For more information please see the link to my post.
