Best Dash Cam?
Are any of you guys running dash cams and/or cams that record interior during service, etc. Was thinking about getting one and looking for opinions re brands/models as well as any advice for installers in LA. I want it and V1 hardwired.
Thanks! A. |

I uses Blackvue. Let me know, I can install them. Have them on my F15 and I am local.

Cowon AW2 is probably the best available dash cam right now. Comes with one camera in the front and one in the rear. Connects to your phone using WIFI.

Are there any surround video recording capability? Most Asian countries have video surveillance standard on their cars which monitors the car while parked. I wonder when US will catch up:/

Its not just X5's. In South Korea all new Hyundai cars come with cameras that record while driving and parked standard.

Installed a Blackvue DR650GW HD three months ago and I am very happy with it. One camera at the front (1080p) and another at the back (720p), includes GPS and a shock sensor. If you hook it up to a constant power source (I use the "Powermagic" add-on to avoid draining the battery too much) then can record when it detects movement when the car is parked. I use a 64GB SD card and it can store a lot of footage before it starts t overwrite again.

I just read an article less than 18 months old in which Hyundai states that it has no plans to sell cars equipped with these cameras. Things probably have changed but I cannot find when the changed course. Given Korea's high internet speeds and connected society it is no surprise that the US doesn't have this as an option yet. Plus there is the huge concern over privacy here where Korea does not face this hurdle. Here the article: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articl...-in-korea-cars |

I have the Mini 0803. It's cheap ($80), discrete and picture quality is good. There are newer versions Mini 0806 that cost around $100, and picture quality is better. For the price, it can't be beat. Look it up on youtube. The review is very positive.

So what I recall seeing was like this http://www.alibaba.com/product-detai...010154610.html but it was intergrated seemlessly into the rear view mirror. My reading vocabulary is of elementary level I left South Korea when I was around 7 years old so I pretty much grew up here I went to korea's hyundai site and couldn't find anything on it. Maybe I am wrong and they are aftermarket cameras and it is popular there so everyone has them . Every single car and taxi I rode in had similar set up and when I asked what they were they replied that it was a blackbox for a car which records while driving and parked. |
