Hi, I'm looking into getting a dashcam for the rear of my Honda Odyssey minivan to record vehicles behind me (already have a SG9665GC in the front). There's a 12V power outlet in the back on one side so hooking up to power will not be an issue. The minivan has a rear tailgate and the rear window has defroster lines on it so I don't think I should mount a dashcam on the rear window.
Reading thru some threads, it seems there's a general recommendation that a Mobius would be an ideal dashcam for this use (are there any other recommendations under a $100?). I do not know much about this dashcam so just wanted to see if I'm on the right track.
Planning to buy from buymobius.com to avoid fakes. I would like to have a capacitor based dashcam so looking in particular at http://www.buymobius.com/products/wide-angle-lens-mobius-actioncam-v3-c2-supercapacitor for $77.99. I don't want to mount the dashcam anywhere on the tailgate that lifts out so it would have to be mounted on the rear plastic headliner. I think I would need to get the adhesive mount at http://www.buymobius.com/collection...era-mounts/products/vhb-adhesive-camera-mount for this.
I'm not clear if I would need to get any other accessories. I'm not worried about USB car charger or cables since I have plenty of those. In particular, not clear if I need to get this mounting sleeve http://www.buymobius.com/collection...-sleeve-for-the-mobius-actioncam-1080p-camera. The $77.99 dashcam says it comes with a mounting bracket with 1/4"-20 nut. Not sure if this is the same as the mounting sleeve, but the pictures look similar.
Not sure whether the dashcam should be mounted in the center or in the corner closest to the 12V outlet. If it's in the center, it could obstruct the driver's view looking in the rear view mirror. But if it's in a corner angled towards the center, not sure if the recorded view would look that good. I guess I would have to see what's the best location once I receive the dashcam.
Appreciate any suggestions or tips on all this.
