I've never had a dashcam, but the need for one is becoming a real burden. I had an incident the other day where a dashcam would have been a real benefit. Thankfully, nothing came of it, so I can just put it behind me and move on.
I know Lukas makes one of the best, and the Blackvue DR750S-2CH is a favorite choice for me right now.
But I would rather have a DVR velcro mounted under the dash, and wired up through the a-post, and across the headliner to the dashcam, discretely mounted next to the rear-view mirror, where no one will see it. I would even love to scrape off some of the black fleck they put on the edges of windshields to make a hole for the camera, but I'm not sure if that can be done.
The reason I would prefer this is so that I never have to access the dashcam itself to get the data from it. I would rather remove the DVR from under the dash.
The Blackvue is dual channel, which is great. Ideally, I would like to have four independent cameras; front, back, and both sides, and I would like all of them hard-wired to the vehicle system.
I used to work in vehicle repair at the auto factory, and I could take apart about 75% of a minivan and put it all back together, so installation is no problem for me, except the electrical. I'd need help with that part.
So, does anyone know of a DVR dashcam like I described? All I need is a high quality HD camera at the end of a wire, and with as small of a profile as possible.
