Just ordered this camera from Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/Street-Guardi...treet+guardian I live in the south (North Carolina) so I need something that can stand up to being parked in direct sun for 8+ hours a day. This particular camera is supposedly up to the task. We'll see. It comes on Monday, just in time to install before my car goes back to the dealer. |

got any pics of your install you can share please? The request is for the USB Hub work you did and also maybe if you can share what images you get from your camera since it is flush on the dash as opposed to higher up the windshield? Thanks

View wasn't the best from the dash so I moved it up top. Pulled the a-pillar trim it was a 5 minute job.

I am looking at options to install Dashcam as well. Just started my research. I am mostly leaning towards a non-battery drain option for obvious reasons. New to this whole Dashcam thing. I wouldn't mind running cables but unsure if I would break any cheap plastics. |

I didn't do much to run my cables on the camera I got (the one linked in my other post). I just tucked it up under the headliner, ran it around the seam on the A-pillar, and then around the upper part of the door, under the weather strip, down the door, again under the weather strip, in front of the back seat and then plugged it into the outlet behind the center console. Worked great, can't see any wires.

I don't have any photos from the dash location. It wasn't bad - definitely good enough but the view from top of windshield is better.

How did you wire it up to the top of your windshield? I just ordered the Vantrue N2 Pro and I'd like to get it installed near my rearview mirror.

It was very easy - at least for the camera I used as it had USB for power. I pulled the a-pillar trim and ran the wire to the glove box, where I just plugged it in. Took all of 5 minutes.

Here is my mobius, size of Tic Tac box. Hot wired to mirror, has capicitor so there is not a problem with the heat here in North Carolina.

I remember you had that usb port installed in your glove box. By chance you don't remember the title of your thread do you? I'd like to install one there myself. Thanks!

Sorry to revive an old thread. Does anyone know what fuse numbers to tap into for constant on and accessory (ignition) power in the fuse box under the hood. I had a blacksys ch100b installed today and the parking mode is not working. I have a strong feeling the guy didn't use the right fuse locations.

Just ordered one of these today for my 235. https://owlcam.com/#how-it-works
I'll post review once it's delivered. |

Right, that's what I figured. So it's no more "always on 24/7" than a hard wired dash cam with built in voltage detection. Their marketing seems to imply otherwise, at least that's the impression that I got.
