Want to ask, for front and back dash cam, around cost how much?
Not reverse parking cam, but rear cam...
Currently use mi 70mai (not pro)
Prefer install myself......so will get it via online shop....

It's for convenient purpose. But that depends on how often you actually look at it. Most of the discreet cams are non-LCD. Except A129 Duo which has WiFi and LCD for this combo.

Bro how u install behind? Accessories shop?

With screen you can view the videos from the dashcam and also set up the dashcam there also.

Without screen, you'll need to use phone app to view videos and setup via app. Usually streaming via wifi the quality is lousier than the actual video.

WiFi easier to view and download on your phone.

But I prefer old school way, take out the micro sd card and view on pc. This way is good for those who want to view full resolution on bigger screen.

any comment about this model? legendary in a good or bad way? it looks small (and flat bottom) enough to be placed in the dash (as in the photo) rather than on the windscreen.

Is it an action cam that ppl mostly use on RC. Got ppl convert it to hidden dashcam too.

That was the first few generations if not mistaken. Now got newer generations d.

Dear sifus,

Noob here n would like to clarify a few things on dash cam . Can somebody please confirm if my understanding below is correct?

1. If we want our dashcam to have the parking mode, must do hardwiring.
2. If do hardwiring, for sure will void the warranty of the car? For a car there are few warranties with different period. Will it void all warranty or only certain type of warranty?

1. Depends on what is your understanding of parking mode. There are basically 2 type of parking mode.

First type is the dash will turn off when you park. However it will wake up and do recording when the g-sensor detected movement or shocks. This type of parking mode does not need hardwiring as there are battery in the dash that have enough juice for it to work for a couple of minutes.

The second type is continuous recording. When car is parked, the recording will be low framerate and/or low bitrate. Once car starts moving, it will record back at normal rate. This type need continuous power means need hardwiring.

2. Not sure about this but you can use a piggyback fuse tap which does not modify any of the electrical components. Picture below:

1. Yes as most dashcams using capacitor needs to be hardwired. But those with battery inside can record video AFTER getting the g sensor triggered without hardwire.
Nowadays have hardwire to fusebox or via the OBD port.

2. I know all car manufacturers will void the warranty for anything not installed from the factory. There was a case for a Civic owner changed speakers and using LED bulbs and somehow a fuse blew. Sent back to SC to check and SC reported to Honda Malaysia modified. 5-year unlimited mileage warranty byebye for whole Civic. So depends on the SC.

Any thoughts on the Rexing V1P 3rd gen dual cam?

Specs are good and it's using supercapacitor!

Ya am combing youtube for all the reviews i can find.

thinking of 1 unit with rear cam disabled so it can record at 4K at the front, then one more unit at the rear recording at 1080P with the secondary camera mounted on the B pillar recording the interior (esp the dashboard and driver seat belt)

Stick with 1080p dual cam or 1440p front cam only.

It's not true 4K camera sensor but a 4MP sensor. It's an interpolated resolution.

Yup that's right. Got the manual etc..will go thru them tonight...busy multitasking now

If your car has an issue with electronic, go to accessories shop first to remove the hardwiring before go to check or claim at the service center. but during installation, you need to make sure plug and play and not cut any wire.
I do this all the while and never void any warranty. This also has to depend on the Service Center that you go.
