Hi,
I need the help of you seasoned DashCam-Users... Shortly after my A118 died, my old car died, too (luckily no situation I would have been in need for a DC) - 2018 sure has become an expensive year... Now, I have a new (used) car (Mazda 3); as i like the new "clean" interior, I don't want to have cables lurking around in the ****pit (Edit: the censored word describes the place pilots sits in airplanes....), thus:
I need a hardwire-kit to mount the DC directly to the fuse-box.
Requirements:
1. I'm not sure which cam to buy; the A118 would need a new battery I can't get for a reasonable priece (cheaper to buy a new one with condensator). It's probably gonna be a successor of the A118, though I'm also thinking of replacing/retrofitting the rearmirror with a cam. This decission requires more thinking.
2. Enviromental difficulties: in summer, it gets way over 35°C, in winter (for my taste) too often below -10°C. Both DC and Hardwire-Kit must be able deal with the condition inside the car
3. ...eventough Hardwire-Kits seem to work reliable, it shouldn't crash the electronics of my car (if a good one comes from aliexpress, no worries - i prefer "low priece" over "cheap", just don't want to replace the whole electronics)
4. if there are recommendations for DC:
a) i only need HD, there are privacy laws that prevent good recordings in 4k-range anyway
b) to keep the area the DC takes from the windshield small: are there recommendations for small DC or such that can be mounted on the rearmirror?
c) i often drive in twilight and night, so the cam needs to have a good quality ("usable") recording in the night (no IR or nightvision needed)
...are there any recommendations?
