In Car Vehicle Recorder Part 2

[Adrianli]

 

thanks.

 

but if space between the rearview mirror and windscreen has a housing for sensors, then it has to be placed below which might affect driver's view

 

Then u can place the camera on either side of the sensor housing, top of windscreen. No need die die in the center one. Car camera have wide angle lens.

 

 

If u scroll back, u can see I am using two car camera. One in the center and one on top of driver side. Both capture the same thing.

Will a dash cam partially block the driver's front view?

 

Some of these cameras look pretty big

 

You are asking about a cam that is mounted on the dashboard right ? Not on the windscreen...if I read correctly.

used it as a general term

 

is cam mounted on windscreen commonly called "windscreen cam"?

Not sure also..... but when you mention "dash", it gives an impression that it refers to the dashboard, like this:

 

 

Anyway....

This is a potential window smashing, snatch and grab situation in JB!!!

 

I would not encourage to mount it this way. I maintain a clean dashboard when driving to JB.

If mount cam/GPS on dashboard must remove it when park car in all Malaysia, not just JB.

Need some advice here. I'm using Smart, a Taiwanese made cam that sticks on the windscreen.

 

The holder drops off after a while like around once a month.

Recently, when it dropped off, it did so suddenly that the plug from the power cable was pulled out of place leaving only bare wires. With that, my cam is without the power source.

 

Anyone knows where I can buy a cigarette charger power cable with the specs of Input 12Vdc/24Vdc, Output 5Vdc 1A. Length 3.4m.

 

Went to Challenger and Best Denki but couldn't find it.

 

Thanks in advance.

Go Sim Lim Tower, lots of shop sell this.

 

Cheaper way is to solder back the wire and cig plug. No need to buy new one.

Btw, these car cams are now selling commonly in JB. In many major shopping malls I see shops selling them, especially those selling handphones.

 

Soon it'll be common on Malaysian cars as well.

they quoted the AW1. But not sure about it because hardly see any review on it or limited videos to evaluate the quality

For Thinkware i believe the cheapest is around 200+
