I am truly amazed at what all gets filmed with these dash cams.

Some drivers should probably not be driving.

Here's a review of the DR500: http://www.techmoan.com/blog/2013/3/...ar-camera.html

Has anyone mounted one of these under the 3rd brake light yet? I feel like it would be a good spot for a cam like this to be used as surveillance.

The Blackvue v. II are on a Massdrop group buy again this week if anyone wants one.

Great guide thanks, I bought the DR500GW-HD, it's currently only hooked up via 12V because waiting on my low profile Add-A-Circuit from ebay. Anyone doing this should buy off ebay for both fuses and the add-a-circuit, a-a-c locally sells for $15/ea... bought off ebay for $2.50/ea

Sorry, I've looked really hard for an answer to this, so I apologise if it's been answered already.

Does anybody have a DIY install guide for powering a dashcam from power in the head liner? I don't have a powered rear view mirror, so I'm assuming there is a disconnected and unused 12v feed in the head liner?

Thanks!

@F1point4 Thanks for the write. In the process of getting the DR500 and was able to source some 2 AMP fuses which should work nicely.

sorry to bump up and old thread but i am going to do this soon so i would just like to clarify one thing.

instead of the 3amp fuse, can i use a 5 with a 7.5 instead? the shops here dont sell 3amps. only 5 and above. thanks!

so.. like this

will there by any consequences of using the 5A instead of the 3A?

I am running the season 2 version.

thanks!
