Dashcam concealment
For those of you with dashcams installed, have you taken any measures to further conceal your dashcam? I'm concerned about it being a target for thefts

I live in the suburbs of Atlanta and park in an enclosed garage, and I park in a reasonably secure garage at work (though there have been break-ins in the past year). I don't worry about my dash cam or aftermarket HU being visible in these places, or in most places I park.
I've slid off and tucked my 0803 into the glove compartment a couple times when parking elsewhere. And I've removed my Pioneer 4000 NEX touchscreen in a couple places, but not really sure it's necessary. It would probably be difficult for a thief to see that it is anything other than the OEM HU, since my windows are tinted, and it's pretty much just a big double din screen. |

Blackvue here, mounted right behind my rearview mirror - unless you're really looking for it, it's easy to miss. Also have sides and rear windows tinted, so that probably helps.
Passport radar detector is also in the general area. It's right above the rearview on the passenger side, mostly obscured by the top windshield tint, but if anyone's really checking the car out for something to steal, they'd go for that first I guess. |

I bought a BlackVue DR650GW-2CH (haven't installed it yet), which has the parking mode, so it wouldn't make sense for me to conceal it if I want to use the parking mode...

I recently picked up a new dashcam specifically so it would be a bit more discrete than the ITB-100HD I had been running. (Less for anti-theft than for just subtlety, but I think the end result is the same.)
I opted for the Mobius Action Cam, and I'm quite pleased with it. Pretty discrete, too:
