Has anyone hardwired a dash cam? I have the G1W-C and bought a hardwire kit with plans to wire it into the interior fuse panel next to the driver's side door. I need to wire it to a switched hot that powers on when the car is on, and off when it's off. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I used an add-a-fuse, piggyback fuse holder. (It's been over a month ago, so I am trying to remember) - I think I piggybacked a ten amp fuse, then put a 5amp fuse into the add-a-fuse. There is a small bolt right there at the box that I used for a ground. Ran the wire up the pillar, hid it behind the plastic and under the headliner. The wire drops out at the mirror. Works like a charm. Took ten minutes, tops. If you use an add-a-fuse, it really doesn't matter which fuse you piggyback, as long as it's a keyed circuit. Finding a spot where the add-a-fuse will fit is the only challenge. My camera is the Papago GoSafe 200. It has a nice mount that clips on the back of the rearview mirror. You really don't even know it's there. It has a drop down screen for setup, adjustment, etc. The quality of the video is excellent. You can watch videos right on the camera, or remove the memory card and watch on a computer. It also has motion detection, so it keeps an eye on things when I am away. If I had to buy another one, I think I'd look for one with GPS. Mine doesn't have that, so there is no location or speed associated with the footage. The motion detection is nice, but it only records from the front of the car. It's a nice feature, but limited usefulness. The cameras with GPS will associate the videos with Google maps and display your speed too.

Just ordered one of these last night. It should be here tomorrow. I've read good things about it. I plan to mount it directly in front of the rear view mirror and hard-wire it into the overhead console.

I hardwired my Falcon 360 by tapping into the cigarette lighter plug... getting under the console was the hardest part. That does a great job for running only while the ignition is on.
Incidentally, I emailed the manufacturer of the Falcon (Incredisonic)... Asked them if I could purchase an additional power cord, so that I can use the dashcam unit in other vehicles (since my original power cord is now permanently installed in my Camaro). I was told that purchasing would not be necessary; they immediately sent me a new cord, no charge, no cost, nothing... Now THAT is customer service! (Oh, and I love the camera, too...) |

Yes, don't remember the name but it has a video output which I have connected to The MyLink in My car. I can view the cam while driving or play back on the mylink. I also have it on a voltage regulator for parking mode.

Love mine. Has forward facing and rear facing cameras. Most of it fits behind my rear view mirror. Just need to hard wire it.

Friend of mine uses Mobius. They are extremely affordable and the quality is awesome.

Having an issue with my G1W cam. It works fine until the SD card is full and then it wont record after that. Shouldn't it record over the saved data automatically? I looked all in the settings and don't see anything for this. My loop recording is on 3 minutes. Not sure if that makes a difference. Anyone able to help me with this?
