Glad to see some activity here. Dash cams are something everyone should have in their cars.

Hey guys,

Is there any type of dash cam or mount that is similar to BlendMount for a dash cam? I will have a 5% tint strip on my windshield that stops right at the rear view mirror and I don't want to put any 3M tape on the inside of the tint. I don't want any type of screen on the dash cam either.

This is blendmount for those of you who haven't seen it:

I'm not aware of anything on the market right now like BlendMount for dash cams. You could likely make one, or buy a BlendMount or similar and modify it.

There could be a market for such a product though. BlendMount, please take note.

Hi Randy,
It is possible and it is something we are looking at, but at this point we have no timetable for when it might be available.

What's your visibility like with the three things you have mounted on the window? I just have a radar detector and it feels like anything else there would feel cluttered.

Really do want a dashcam though, got screwed with my 1st gen Legacy when a tractor trailer cut me off and drove over the car. The trucker's buddy happened to be following in another vehicle and it was my word vs. theirs .

Anyone know where I can get the following:

a) thin Mini USB to USB cable - 12ft. Prefer a right angle Mini USB
b) A rearview mirror mount. I have a HP210 dashcam and it uses a "slide and click" to connect to the manufacturer's mount, which is too long and unstable.

Driver side isn't bad; I purposely mounted non-permanent items away from the driver's side as I've hit a deer before (twice) and one time had a close call.

It's a peace of mind honestly, I just let it loop record and it auto records and shuts off so once set up, you're covered. I just need to get another for the rear. You can of course let it record with motion if you want it recording while you're away.

This is blendmount for those of you who haven't seen it:

G1W or G1W-C with mirror mount.

See below post from dashcamtalk forum.
https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/thread...-for-g1w.4236/

I am using that right now.

I've been using View-I cameras in my cars for about a 18 months now. I was in a hit-and-run encounter on the highway right after I got one in my Impreza. The guy who hit me refused to acknowledge that he was in an accident at all, and his insurance company wouldn't pay. So I shared the video with them, and got a check for $1100 right quick. Here's a link to the product:

I've been looking at these SmartNav products on eBay, kind of pricey but have lots of bells and whistles. I'd like to know more about them and their reliability:

I would stay way from Blackvue. Everyone I know that has one has at least sent it back once for repairs. It does have a lot of nifty features though such being able to watch the video off of your phone.
I have had a Lukas dashcam for years and never had a single problem with it.

Been running DashCam Car Video Recorder RCPANOGDVR with GPS in my WRX for quite a while lately. Video quality is really good, always records, hard wired it to constant on lead in headliner, has GPS built in. Bought it from www.RoadCam.com.

It has a cool feature where if it detects a bump or a sudden shake, it will take the current recording and place it in a non rotating folder on the flash (You ca also trigger this by hitting a button).

YouTube now allows 60fps which looks so much better. Now I just need a dash cam that can record 1080p @ 60fps with quality audio.

This was last night a driver running a red light.

I might be looking for too much in a dashcam. My needs: decent night capabilities, internal mic (doesn't have to be good quality - they usually aren't), GPS antenna (need to make sure I can prove I wasn't speeding). I have considered the Blackvue, but have heard reliability is a problem. I also have to deal with heat, here in SE Texas, so that means capacitors.

I don't need a screen, I don't need a G-sensor. I don't need wifi. I don't need more than one channel.

I do like the G1WC, but it doesn't have GPS.

Any recommendations? I'm willing to spend to about $250 (the Blackvue model I was considering is http://www.amazon.com/BlackVue-Wi-Fi-DR500GW-HD-Black-Recorder/dp/B00B4E9764).

I just picked up an OJO CAM Pro 2 with a 32 gig MicroSd card, hard wire kit and built in gps / map system with g-sensor for $126 shipped to my door (Free shipping). Wicked little cam. Turns on automatically when I start the car, and shuts off when car shut off. Super small and discrete. You won't find a better price on a dash cam. 1080p as well and build in sound.

Blackvue's notorious for their bad sound quality; even the newest model I've seen has horrible sound. I love my Mobius for that reason.

GPS, you might to check out Mini 0801. I'm assuming they are all re-badged like the one Iqoair mentioned above.

Can you set these dash cams to run while the car is off and parked?

I hate parking in the streets or the city when I have my varis kit on and this would help me sleep at night

Yeah, they have some with motion detection but it uses a portion of your car battery when you car is turned off. Supposedly not enough to cause the car not to start though.

You are correct. There are battery discharge prevention devices available that will shut the camera off if the battery goes below a specified voltage. Mine also allows me to shut off the camera after a specified period of time.

Yep. Many come with such feature. In not so busy area, the dash cam's battery alone should record any movement just fine for the night.

Of course it's going to depend on how you park. In an open area you probably want front & back camera at least.

Garmin right now has their first gen Virb for $99. Wider angle lens and you can use it just like GoPro. I've been thinking about it; just don't want to spend $300-$400 for a camera I probably won't use very often.

Wow that's a pretty good price, I'll check it out!

I just bought the mobius... I got the wide angle lens and bought the capacitor as well. I'll post pictures when I get it setup, but from my research, seems the way to go for my needs.
