Hello gentlemen,
I have enjoyed staying at this forum and in return to what I have learned here, I would like to post my setup and some DYI report.
Setup of 2 sets of Panorama X1 / SGZC12RC for Front and Rear footage.
Hard wired via MotoPark BDP kit.
1) Remote censors were disassembled to add a strip of black electric tape to the inside of the shell to cover LED.
This does void a warranty, but I took my chance.
The information on how to completely disassemble remote camera is either not available or hard to find, so if whoever would like to do the same, here is what you need to know:
a) Rotate the ring on the side next to the holder to take it off - then slide the mount - it will come off easily
b) The not completely round ring from another side does not rotate and should be taken off with very gentle prying starting from one of the corner of sliced side of the ring. This ring is very fragile.
c) Take off the sticked label - 2 screws are hiding behind it. Unscrew these 2 screws (+) and your shell will open
d) The board is mounted with few more screws (+) (as far as I remember) and once they are unscrewed - the board and a lense will come off easily.
e) Now you can access the inner side of the shell to apply a piece of electrical tape to prevent LED light reaching the outside world
f) Assemble the camera back in the reverse order. If you don't make any mistake - you would not regret you voided your warranty.
2) The mount was a little to big to my likening, so I decided to trim it as inspired by
@niko.
I used heated utility knife to trim off the piece. At this stage I have opted out from sanding and painting black.
3) I wanted to be able to take the mount off my windshield, plus it was important to have a black adhesive on the tape, so I used 3M Dual Lock TB3870
I have removed adhesive from one of the 3M Dual Lock velcro with gentle nail pry, then WD40, soap, alcohol and it was ready to be sticked with the original adhesive on the mount.
The only reason why I preferred to keep original 3M adhesive is - it was thinner than one on Dual Lock strip.
4) Cameras are connected via 90 degree micro usb extenders. Main units also have their 90 degree extenders.
5) I was willing to sacrifice the warranty of the camera, but I could not risk the warranty of the car, so MotoPack BDP kit has been connected by LR dealership technician. He also put the wire from the trunk door window through the door sealed wiring pipe up to the glove box compartment.
The result is shown below on the pics.
