I mounted a rear dash cam to the back of my GD3. With the help of a "parts bin" full of miscellaneous SLR camera mounting hardware, I was able to cobble together a mount. That was the easy part of the project. Routing the power line and RCA cable was time consuming.
Hi,
Mind sharing how you routed your cables, from power source to the rear camera?
Also, what kind of camera mount you used?
Thanks!
I was involved in a incident that i had to go to court to get my ticket cleared. I only had a front facing dash at the time of incident. Anyways, after the incident, i upgraded to a dual channel.
this is the one i had. I bought mine on costco about 1 ~ 2 years ago. I tested it before install, its quite a nice device, it has wifi which you can switch on, which allows you to watch footage or download video immediately.
As for installation, i put the sticker on and stick them on the front and back window. For the rear, i place it on top of the very 1st heater line and in the center position where the wiper blade can wipe. (for good video on all seasons). I plug the dash cam in and start shoving the cables into the right side of the plastic, the cable then goes down the front door, goes onto a flat area under/below the glove box and to the front voltage plug.
I do recommend plastic bits you can buy to install. My espresso spoon made small indents on the plastic bit. You won't realize its there unless you inspect it in detail, but if your a perfectionist, you definitely don't want to do what i do.
