G1WC - Need help choosing all the right equipment

[Ryan1999]

Hey guys,

My first dash cam setup for my Chevy Cruze,

I have a few questions and I'm looking for advice, so if you can help at all please do

I ordered

2 G1W'c's off of the estore009 on ebay dude.

1 Power regulator, LUKAS LK-290-12/24VT(MULTI) Power Safety Device for DASH CAM BLACK BOX A TYPE 321423803257

Thinking about ordering:

2x Transcend 32gb microsd class 10 - https://www.amazon.com/gp/B00CES44EO
1 front rear view mirror mount - https://www.amazon.com/gp/B00JWGC29U
I need help with the following:

I need a Rear window mount, and to figure out if I need additional wiring. Ideally I'd like to buy 2 good guage power cords at around 15 feet (for the rear camera, better to have more cable than not enough).

What cabling provides the best and stable current?
I need a mini USB power cable right?
And just splice it into my power source?

Thanks,

For rear windows you need a low profile mount. @Pier28 sells them. It will fit G1W as well:

For rear dashcam more practical ( in my opinion ) is to use 12v to 5v converter that you can tap-into nearby electrical circuit.

Thanks,

That rear mount looks like it will work well!

With the 12v to 5v converter and tapping into a nearby electrical circuit will I still be able to use my power regular to kill power if the battery is low?

What options do I have to use as a power cord, the same cord basically goes either to an electrical circuit or my fuse box, etc?

What other equipment do I need to wire the cabling to a fuse? Any help, thanks

I'm going to be doing something similar on my wife's car once my G1W-C shows up. On my car (using a FineVu Pro HD capacitor based dashcam) I used an accessory 12V power outlet and an add-a-fuse to an open accessory port in the fuse box. The camera turns on once the ignition is turned to on. I'm thinking about using an on/off switch and putting the add-a-fuse into an 'always hot' port so I can leave the camera running if I want to use the parking mode.

Thanks

My cameras arrived! Now I'm just waiting for all the small things to get here like the mount, add-a-fuse, power regulator, etc.

Running off the car charger for now with the suction cup, wires errwhere
