Dashcam options for M240i
Wondering what options are available for dashcam usage for the M240i.
Mostly for accident recording and monitoring while parked. Please post your setup. |

Love my Garmin 55, has wifi so no need to remove a memory card to save footage, you can DL it right to the phone.

I noticed the external battery pack to prevent the vehicle main battery from draining..
how long does the battery last for this setup? there are times where I leave the car parked in a garage for extended periods (a week or more). Can you comment from your experience if this could be an issue? Also: my dealer refused to install this, stating that they can only install OEM products. |

I, too, have the Blackvue. Terrific video quality, intuitive and effective software.
I got a pair of the Blackvue batteries but had the system connected to the vehicle's fuse box in a way that the Blackvue does not draw power when the car is turned off. I did not want to put any additional stress on the battery. I found that, pre-COVID, when I used the car at least a couple of times a day, the Blackvue recorded the entire period when the vehicle was parked. All that changed, of course, with COVID. I do not recall having measured it, but I would guess that the batteries run out of power after a day, if they make it that long. |
