When removing and putting back you need to take note of the orientation so that the video angle is not affected - you don't want to be recording the top part of your windscreen, missing the important details.

You can also consider B1W which is easy to remove. Do take note that frequent disconnecting of the power source might affect the connector, although one can argue we plug in to charge our phones daily and it's still ok.

Many actually think it's just good to have, not a necessity. Or they are too lazy, or justify not installing by saying it'll attract thieves.
Now, its usage has been expanded to include capturing road bullies. With video, bullies can't get away easily.

My big-ass Yi cam in front is easily seen by drivers in front of me, so that might act as a deterrent against potential stunts by them.

Blueskysea afaik is much cheaper than Viofo. I'm using the B1W at rear windscreen. Would love to have Viofo (either 2 x single channel, or one dual-channel) but it's much more expensive than my present Yi cam + B1W combo.

I DIY-ed for all my previous cars. For my current City, the tint shop fellas helped me run the wires because the car was just few days old and I didn't have time to do a proper job. In any case, mine is just plugged into the ciggie lighter (and it helps that my City has two accessory ports at the rear aircon vent). No parking mode for me.

How much were the Viofo variants offered for sale then?

I wouldn't trust this B1W to do the monitoring of voltage without additional safeguards like Power Magic or sthg like that. Even when I had my ancient Blackvue DR400 installed with Power Magic, I still had an on/off toggle switch installed to manually cut off the power when I had to leave the car unused for a few days.

If your Jazz is still under warranty, you may want to avoid hardwiring it to fuse box in case it voids warranty. And for your Jazz, self installation of rear cam may be an issue if you don't know how to run the wire (you don't want the wire to kena kepit when you open/close the hatch).

Life span of the cams depends on your driving pattern (long drive = more recording) and where you park your car (battery doesn't like heat).

For my rear cam, I'm using B1W (thanks to blurjoey for recommending it). It uses capacitor, so battery failure is avoided. The small form factor also doesn't block my view when using rear view mirror. My car is a City, so it's easy to wire the rear cam to take power from the ciggy ports for the rear passenger.

For front, I use Yi Dashcam. It's been more than two years and it's still surviving but my car is underutilised and it's parked in sheltered car park at work and home.

Did you get it fixed? And mind sharing how much you had to pay?

Was it done at Honda SC? Like you, I'm using the same setup, so need to prepare for this.

TQVM.

Is the dual dashcam from blueskysea good? The B1W you recommended is still doing strong but there seems to be a little bluish tinge. Thinking of upgrading to 2-c setup.

You mounted the rear cam outside the car and yet there is still cabin audio recorded?

It has to be. Just surprised the audio is also integrated into the rear

Looking forward to your review.

I saw this in YT amgmoh reviews too. The list of approved cards doesn't have this Samsung card.

Strangely, Sicurez bundles this card in their viofo cams.

Dear all, for 2-channel cams, does each of the recordings of front and rear cams start and end at the same time for the files stored in sd card?

Let's say for this particular video clip, the start time of front camera is 2:45:00 pm, will the clip from the rear cam also starts at the same time?

Asking because I am currently running separate cams for front and back, so getting synchronised files is an added step. Thinking of upgrading to 2-ch for ease of video retrieval.

You mean you cannot access the footage or live view of the rear cam using the app? That's strange, or you mean PiP? Else how do you set up the rear cam position?

Btw, I just bought A510 and it can access the rear cam footage.

My personal opinion: the SC won't suka2 log a report saying your car has dashcam plugged into the obd port if you send for regular servicing.

Just like say you upgraded rims and you send it for service. Takkan SC logs every "mod" on your car if you're not claiming warranty kan?

Or you claim steering rack warranty, I don't think they will report you have the obd dashcam wiring.

Best to have an off the record chat with SA.

I just got A510 and I can see live view of the rear cam using App.

Can, once my 256GB sd card arrives. That day I tested using a slow sd card when the cam was delivered. No problem switching to rear cam. There is a radio button to select iirc.

A510 cannot record in parking mode without hardwiring. Afaik none of the battery based cams can do so. The battery is just to keep the settings and save the last file after you switch off engine.

Doesn't seem right, unless the obd kit is supplying constant power to the cam. Read point no.1.

The cam is supposed to go to parking mode immediately once engine is switched off (point no.2).

Not sure whether the FAQ is model specific though.

If you're changing and you're going to use Parking mode, I suggest you top up a bit for A810 - clearer video, rear cam RC12 has HDR, and parking mode has motion detection feature (A510 doesn't have motion detection, a bummer).

Ayam thinking of putting the A510 at rear windscreen and use A810 in front (re-use the rear cam of A510).
