Thought I'd share my dashcam installs that I've had for some time. Ever since being stationed in Korea, I've had a dashcam installed in my cars (they are very popular there). I think it's cheap insurance if there is ever an altercation.
In front, I've installed a Street Guardian 9665GC. I like this camera because of the excellent day and night video quality and it stealthiness. The wedge shape allows it to maintain a low profile and hidden well. Some pics:
Here you can see I've mounted it directly to the plastic on the rain sensor. Keeps it well hidden.
View from driver side. Can't even see it. Notice the GPS unit in the bottom corner of the dash. This unit embeds GPS data in the video files, and can be played back while watching a map.
And from the outside:
The rear facing camera presents a challenge. Because of the sun shade, mounting to the center and top of the rear window is not an option. Not enough room. Because of this, I opted for a Mobius, who just came out with a version that can be used at 90 degrees, allowing the sunshade to open and close while maintaining sight out the rear. It's mounted using a magnetic mount.
With sunshade down
With sunshade up
Closeup with sunshade up
From outside. Tint and w/ sunshade up makes it about impossible to see, which is great!
I have both camera hardwired, so it looks as stock as possible.
Video of this setup in action (but in my Jeep - same camera front and rear) of a guy trying to cheat a traffic light by cutting through a parking lot.
