Blackvue 750s dash cam install...

I had my dash cam installed in my 2017 Prius Prime Advanced. I didn't like the first location we chose to mount the front cam. It was a bit higher on the windshield than it is now, to the right (passenger side) of where it is now. That not only made it off center, but also made part of the black cover for the sensors visible at the left of the screen in the footage recorded by the dash cam (see photo below). So I moved the front camera into the position it is in in the photos below.

I was concerned that this new position would be too low, or that it would obstruct my view, but it is high enough and I can't even see the camera unless I purposefully move my head to look for it. You can see it from outside the car, of course, but it is not as apparent as it is in these photos. I'll try to update this post later with links to some sample footage from the front and rear cameras.

 

Hi Wuzki - Yes, both the original location and the new location are shown in the second photo. The new location is where it is, and the old location is where I "drew" it in in gray and black in Photoshop. Both locations are labeled in that second photograph.

 

My stereo/alarm installer did it, so I don't know.

 

What do you mean so it will upload automatically every day? What camera do you have, and where does it upload every day? Thanks

 

Ah, I see.

 

That does look interesting, but I would be very concerned about it being stolen. They say on the site, "Nothing says “Go Away” quite like a blinking camera mounted on your dashboard." However, I'd be more concerned that nothing says "Break a Window and Steal Me!" like a camera with a blinking light mounted on your dashboard. I think its inside-facing camera could be popular with Uber and Lyft drivers, but I don't know how much the rest of us would use it. Is there an option for a camera facing out the back of the car, too? Is it 1080p? It seems like the site lacks a lot of info about it.

 

Well, that video certainly makes it seem much better. According to that video, it's 4K, which would be great, but then he later says it is 1440, which is less than 4K, but still better than most other dash cams. It incorporates a lot of interesting features.
The voice interaction is nice. Remote communication when you're out of your car is neat. Apparently, like a Ring doorbell, they replace the camera if it's stolen, which is nice (though the damage to your car breaking in is likely to be far more expensive, and I'd still be concerned people would break into my car to steal it).
From what I've read, the mounting position is definitely illegal in California. It's attached to the windshield and it's not in one of the bottom corners of the windshield. If the video screen stays on (can't determine if you can shut it off from the videos I've seen), that can be a problem, too.
