How do people have their rear-facing dashcam mounted? The problem I see is with the power rear window visor bumping into the dashcam. More specifically, I'm talking about Blackview rear facing camera.
I have the Thinkware F200D so I can't speak to the Blackview. I imagine they are similar in size. Mine fits perfect. The sunshade sits right below the camera.
Edit: After looking again, the screen actually goes up and over the camera. There is a gap between the window and screen...plenty of room for the ~1" diameter camera.

Any chance you can snap a quick pic with the sunshade up?

Does the F200D have connector end that allows mirror mounting? I prefer a mount that clamps onto the rearview mirror instead of sticking to the windshield.

We are talking about a rear-facing camera that attached to the back window, not the front facing camera that attached to the stem of the rear view mirror

I was referring to the front cam for the F200D. I'm curious if there is grooves where the pegs on universal mounts like this sold on Amazon, would slide into.
I've got this feeling that the connector end is not compatible and using their own bracket with adhesive is the only way.
Here are a few pics. There is actually a ~1" gap between the sunscreen and the window. The camera fits in there nicely. I tried to push the screen down a bit so you can see the gap in the last photo. It's bigger than it looks in the photo. There is plenty of clearance when the screen goes up and down.
Thanks for the pics. Do you have it hardwired? I want to get the F200D, but it seems Thinkware's hardwire kit always goes into 'parking mode'.
I'd rather just have it power on thru accessory or engine and not worry about car battery voltage dropping too low.

Yep, hardwired. It took a bit to figure out which wire went where since my neighbor had my meter. It works as it should. You can set the voltage that the camera completely shuts off at so you shouldn't have any issues...in theory.

Are you able to prevent parking mode by disconnecting the power cable or pressing the button off? This what I'd prefer to do when parked at home so as to not worry about battery voltage getting too low.

Easy, just don't hook the parking power wire up. Also, I just noticed this cam dropped to $129.99 at BB for anyone looking. It might be dropping in price everywhere, haven't looked.
