BlackVue Dash Cam & Convertible
Ive installed the BlackVue DR750S-2CH dash cam but I haven't found a safe/secure way to install the addt'l camera that is supposed to go on the rear window. Any ideas?

I thought for a minute to do dual cams on my vert but didn't like any of the mounting options I saw out there so settled on front-facing only.
Couple of ideas I saw and didn't like: |

The second video is what I was considering myself. I’m gonna try some new spots in a couple of weeks and see what I can come up with. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Never got a chance to install because I need a shorter optical cable.

Ok, cool thanks for the info. I'll be looking at getting a 2CH Blackvue and was looking for ideas on the rear facing camera. Were you thinking of mounting it by the OnStar controls like in that 2nd video?

I just ordered a BlackVue DR490L-2CH. I will have louvers so I might need to play around with where I am putting the rear camera. I like that the one I ordered has the touch screen, that will make it easy to place the cameras. Its a bit bigger but I will see about what I can do so its not in the way. It is interesting to see different mount options. I never really thought about how a convertible will play with a dual system like these.

Not sure I should duck after I post this, but why would one want a dash cam? Furthermore why would one want a rear cam as well?
Not trying to be provocative, I simply don't understand the appeal of recording every drive to the supermarket, etc. Are you using it as insurance, ie. accidents or vs police?
