Which dash cams work well with the GT350?

[Stratnumberone]

Hello all,

I have never used a dash cam before but I keep reading stories of people that have benefitted massively from having one. Plus some berk in a truck tried to run me off the road recently! Consequently, I am seriously considering it for the first time.

I am rather dazzled by the massive array of cameras available so thought I would reach out to see what - if anything - you lot use. I think I am probably looking for a dual (front and rear) camera that has a decent amount of options (GPS, G system, parking option etc) but I am happy for opinions on whether or not the rear coverage is worthwhile.

Thanks in advance!

Kevin.

I use the front facing only version of this:

Rexing V1

It's great for a budget camera, and I haven't had any issues with it since I got it in January. Rexing seems to have very good customer support also from all the reviews...

I have installed 5 different versions in my families cars, all different price ranges from $79 to $350 . I put this version in my wife's MDX and I like this one the best. It is fully automatic and it works great for the price.
I have a Cobra dash cam in my GT350 and I am going to replace it with this Falcon unit.

Are you guys tapping into power at the mirror for these?

I ran mine to the passenger footwell fuse box.. There's a few write ups on here

I might have to look into this. Even though it wouldn't have shown the actual hit, I got rear ended today in the car. I was taking it in to have the tick from the rear end looked at, but after dealing with the other driver (who almost drove off - saying - no damage and he didn't even hit me) I called the cops. Hit me at a red light. Luckily I didn't roll into the car in front of me. Just hard enough of a hit to snap the rear bumper cover out of the fender, scratch the paint, kink the black plastic trim around the exhaust and tear the stripe (and I just had the car coated too!). At least this would have shown the impact. God, I hate drivers here.

Sorry, done venting.

No need to apologize. Everyone here would be doing the same were it to happen to them.

Running the same one with a hard wire kit. Routing the cable is very easy in the GT350 and you can connect right to the fuse box in the passenger footwell. Just use a switched fuse location and it can be set to turn on and off automatically.

Thanks for your input. The Rexing V1 is one that I have already read about so might opt for that. I understand that the rear camera with it is pretty poor but since it only costs an extra $20 I think I will go for it - assuming it can be fitted in the back of the 350.

Thinkware F750. If you are looking for a true parking mode there aren't many that do it well. The think ware hardwired will record motion or events when the car is parked and also has voltage protection built in.

Sorry to hear about your misforture. :doh: I do concur about the drivers here and unfortunately its only going to get worse.

Rexing does this now as well now, after their latest firmware update in August.

Here is the latest version of the BlackVue Front 1080P and Rear 720P that I run https://www.blackvue.com/dr650s-2ch/ I also have this battery backup under my passenger seat for it to run in park mode https://www.blackboxmycar.com/products/cellink-battery-b?variant=32560286087

I am running the SpyTec version of this dashcam, the only difference being mine is capacitor one which is recommended for areas where temperatures can go very high. Decent video quality & cheap.

I love the fact that its very small & can remain hidden.

p.s. I have it in my MDX
