Did you choose the location of the dashcam on the windscreen, or leave them to place it? I would have tried to put it higher up and to the left of the Intellisafe housing... but no idea if this is feasible in practice or not.
Also, have you considered a rear dashcam?
Finally, was the power box (or whatever its called) hidden out of sight? |
Yep - i'll put up a night vid when I get the chance. Wont be tonight as i'm just polishing the remainder of a nice bottle of red
In terms of the positioning, I always place them myself. It's 3M adhesive, so one shot to get it right so I always make sure it's somewhere I am happy with. I played with the position for a little while, and because the lens is really wide any closer to anything and you get incursion into the picture of the intellisafe housing or other parts of the car so this was the closest I could get with a clear unobstructed view.
The Marcus 4 model in the range films in 21:9 aspect ration (which I prefer) and may be easier to place.
The Vico Power Plus box is hidden with the fuse box so completely out of sight. Set and forget. It has numerous options on it, but once it's in it's nothing something I need to mess with.
