New Dash Cam installed

[TerraNewf]

Just installed a new dash cam in the ram. Easy install and works beautiful. Takes away any argument in case of a fender bender. Super wide angle lens at 170 degrees. Records at 1080P Love it so I included a couple of pics, vids to follow

I just finished taking a little run and then viewed the vid on my Mac book, Video was amazing. Very sharp and nice wide view. It's an Auto Vox-B40C, anti shake, collision detection G, highest heat resistance of any dash cam. Lots of really nice features built into this cam. Bought it from Amazon.ca for $115.00 Can, taxes and shipping included.

Forgot to mention the capacitor, great not having to worry about a battery getting too hot and exploding

Question...how do you activate it?...meaning, do you press a button to record, or by remote control. Also what if you are away, how can you trigger it to record?

Thx. Just want to get some info..I might think about getting one

You can wire it direct to a fuse that's live with the key on (need to buy separate harness $12.95 Can) or I used the cigarette adapter cord that came with it and when plugged in it's only come on with the key turned on. The camera powers up and starts recording automatically when you start the truck. When you shut down the truck the camera shuts down and saves the recorded video. Remote start should power up the adapter, will check for sure and report.

I've been thinking of doing this as well... Especially in my daily driver (Subaru Impreza) as I'm on the road almost everyday for work and would like to catch some of these idiots driving out there on camera.

Always own one when i was in Korea got back state side and bought one for my new truck. Got one with parking mode and a rear camera that has motion detection. Really like the parking mode since it will always record when i'm park somewhere and someone backs into the truck or gets to close. I hard wired mine into the overhead console. Great mod for just under $200

I have seen after negative reviews indicating below average low light performance, poor low temperature performance, and SD card retention issues.

How are you finding it? At $110cdn shipped it is tempting.

I have the same one installed just to the left of my rear view mirror. The covers make for a very clean install.

I've also seen those negative reviews but so far no issues for me. Haven't tried in the night time yet but I'm not really a night time driver. Whenever we are on long trips we try to be of the road before sundown.

I use an SJ4000 action cam as my dash cam - they are only $60 and film in pretty good HD.

Here is a short film I made last year of a trip down Baja using that cam - the quality for $60 is unbeatable in my opinion.

Its the stick on base that comes with the camera - along with the camera you get a selection of bases and adapters (all Gopro copies).

Do you have it hard wired or battery powered?

Thanks again. I got the exact same camera, just I need to find box in the closet and look for that mount. I remember it came with a bunch of stuff, just do not remember it having that mount in their but I will have to re-check.
