Who has dash camera installed, and who make the good quality and reliability dash camera?

 

Few guys at my work use the Blackvue DR500GW. They have been using it for a year now and no problems. I was very impressed by the video quality. I just ordered mine and should be arriving in a few days.

 

yeah I have a blackvue, older model (plasti dipped it black) had it for a few years now.
so far so good - managed to hide all the cables also stealth style.

 

I had the Blackvue on my G35 Coupe. However, the popularity of Blackvue has dropped since early 2014 due to tons of issues with firmware, overheating, and video quality. A lot of people have had issues with the GPS not updating the date. So the camera would record and the date on the video would be recorded as 2011....

My first cam had bad focusing issue. Making reading the license plate in front very hard to read.

The 2nd cam they sent me worked perfectly.

 

Any DYI for installation? Also can this be removed to be fitted on another car at the end of the lease?

 

heres mine



I just connected it to the power in the middle console, hid the cable under all the plastics, under the foot well carpet and up the door pillar to the roof lining, then just used double sided velcro to attach the camera so I can remove it at anytime.

 

I ordered one myself.... it would be really helpful with a picture by picture DIY

 

I'm thinking of this one, I've heard good things about it on the lotus forum.
It has great functions too

 

I got the G1WH chinese camera, hard to beat for under $70. Seems decent so far

 

I have that dashcam and I have zero complaints. Camera can be configured through software and video quality is great. I purchased a larger sd card separately.

 

Contact Richard at bmwmeets@gmail.com and see what he can offer; a beyond exceptionally nice guy who has an exclusive distributorship on a line of high end cameras. I believe he's Russian, so he knows all too well of the importance of dash cams.

Aside from the distributorship, he codes BMW's and you can Google "bmwmeets@gmail.com" to see what people have to say about him. Tell him dbs600 sent you.

 

thanks for the info, im looking one to change my old crapy one.

I'm definitely going to make the plunge on this too and install it in mine.
