Dashcam installation

[Guest001]

The cameras I use are 12V and so run straight off a fuse The use of the ciggy socket, $2.49 incidentally allow me to use the manufactures plug which also has a fuse in it. Then if I want to I can remove the camera and the cable and use it in another car, like a rental when on holiday. If your cameras are 5V then what you are doing is suitable for them My wires are all hidden regardless of the connectors used. all you see is the wires in the photos above

I now have a spare cable so take that on holiday and use a multi ciggy socket for camera Satnav and camera charging.

Also up till recently I had a voltage sensing unit for allowing the cameras to keep working when parked and ign off As it had a ciggy output on it I figured it was easier to just keep what was there and allow portability.

My post was more intended to describe how to run the cable and I just included the rest as how I do it with the cameras I have. Sort of overlooked the OP was using 5V ones

Hi all.

My dash cam has a video out 2.5mm socket and came with a long 2.5mm to RCA lead.

Is there a video-in somewhere connected to the infotainment display in the Tiguan 162TSI?

Thank you
David

Well apart from having to perhaps show a cop the result of what may have happened there is little reason to have the picture on your screen. After all you are looking through the windscreen at what its recording.
Also technically it would be similar to running a DVD whilst driving. Illegal

My cameras have wifi and I can replay them in my phone. However not in real time.

Havent looked at mine for several weeks as nothing has happened to need to.

Saved the footage from mine when on a trip overseas Nothing as boring as hours of tarseal and nothing happening.

Apart from about 10 mins of interesting scenery I scrapped the rest.

Tend to agree. It would be useful to check the viewing angle to make sure the cam is aligned correctly, but I don't think it's worth the hassle.

Good point. Agreed. I will drop it.

I just had this wire looking for a home. Nothing lost in reality.
Thanks

Mine is a barrel shape and sits in a spline in the holder so I click it to where it should be and it wont shift without a reasonable effort to do so

Have installed several including a Passat and a Polo I use Blackvue cameras

It looks like you have rear camera at the front of your car. Why?

Whaaaat The pic of the front camera is a DR400G HD which is the old one that I have replaced with a DR500 GW HD which looks the same but is black. I have a FRONT CAMERA in the BACK actually because the normal 2 ch setups only have a 720p quality rear camera, Because the 500 is an HD I just bought another camera and mounted it in the rear A lot less mucking around with wiring and far better quality videos.

You obviously dont know much about Blackvue cameras

Front camera on your photos has one cable connection and rear two cables. That's why I was wonder and thank you for answer.


PS don't, not dont. doesn't not doesnt. haven't not havent. But _obviously_ you know about that, because you live in English-speaking country and using English as main language

Forum doesn't have a spellchecker sadly. To be correct your sentence above should read "that's why I was wondering and thank you for your answer." Pot calling Kettle black eh!!!!!! You may think you know your grammar but we are not here to have an English lesson and while we are on about correctness it is helpful if you put your location in your heading as sometime you are going to ask about a model that we may not have in Australia.
Next time Google the article before making an uninformed comment. The answers are on the Blackvue site and the models are in my signature.
The reason the front camera has one cable is that it has inbuilt GPS The 450 in the rear is cheaper but equal in video quality, but has optional GPS which is why it has a second cable to the GPS.
