I have seen older threads but they are outdated

For those of you who use Dash Cams, where do you place them?

When I purchased my S, I have my alarm guy install a dash cam and it works fine and all. However, now that the weather is getting warmer, the 3M tape is not holding up that great so I decided to take it down before it falls and breaks. Now I am trying to see where to put it.

Any suggestions/recommendations are highly appreciated

 

I have my Blackvue dash cam mounted just below the rearview mirror bracket.

I have it mounted with the Blackvue supplied tape (not sure who makes it)

This tape has worked with out issue in 2 of my cars (exposed to Texas summer temperatures)

 

Thanks crxb I will look into it

 

that's the same place where i mounted my A119S

 

I have the same one, however, the adhesive started to fade so the camera started to fall so I took it down for now.

Are you using the original adhesive that came with the camera?

 

Hey man, I updated my old DIY dashcam that was missing the photos. I don't have time now, so I just uploaded the album with all the photos. Hope it helps!

You are the real MVP!! thanks!

 

Unrelated question. Do you have any issue with the weight on the mirror using that radar detector blendmount?

 

I installed a Gentex frameless auto-dimming mirror, and installed a hardwired dash cam at the same time. I located the dash cam so that it's obscured behind the rear view mirror, but I can still access the buttons from underneath and, more importantly, I can easily retrieve the micro SD card from the side.

No, I have not issues at all and sometimes when I am at work (Private parking) I leave the radar detector on the blendmount and the mirror never moves.
