Hello,
Looking at a Blueskysea B1W Dashcam as a stand-alone rear camera. I prefer to not use dual dash cams due to difficulties routing wiring all the way to the back (but already have power there). The B-W seems to fit the bill—it’s decent, fairly cheap now, And is low-profile camera without a screen. However, all the info I can find says this camera has a blinking red light when recording. Anyone know if this can be toggled or disabled in newer firmware? I would rather have solid when recording and blinking if there’s an issue. I can see blinking would be very distracting in the rear-view mirror. I don’t mind solid as I can put some white electrical tape over it to dim it a bit, but if it’s blinking I’d go with black tape (and not necessarily know if there’s an recording issue).
