Hello,
I just got into dash cams. Some questions/observations/ideas:
Making wedge cam discrete?
I have the lens of a wedge cam just below the "third visor" (the dots area shading the rear view mirror). Can I make the dots area darker? Some newer cars have this area very dark or even black (because something is mounted in the area).
Can I also make the tinted strip at the top of the windshield darker? So the cam will not be so obvious from an angle.
My older cars don't have the dot and strip. Can I add the dots and strip myself? I'm checking tint laws too.
For the rear window ...
I have a flat-type cam mounted on the flat-rear window of an SUV. Any suggestions for making it discrete when the car is parked?
I'm thinking of motorizing shades to go down when the car is parked, covering the cam from all angles, and shades go back up when the car is started. It'll be obvious that something is there, but it won't be obvious it's a cam. Or, I'm just not keeping it simple.
Maybe create a black cardboard box to permanently cover the cam, save for a hole (or filter) for the lens.
