New Dashcam Install - Blackvue DR900S-2CH

[SICKwidIT]

I just used the factory mount and screwed it into the headliner clip. No issues, out of the way, and not obstructed while recording.

I’ll try to get some pics from the rear view mirror view and recording view tomorrow.

I like this clean setup. How stable is the camera? Are you using a special screw to stabilize?

It’s very stable. Just a regular screw I found in the garage. It did take some force to slide the camera back into the mount over the screw, but nothing broke or got scratched.
I drive with the rear window down majority of the time with no worries of it flying into the car behind me. Smooth video on and off road.

Here is a camera view and some pics of the front camera. The rear camera is not visible in the rear view mirror due to the Rago deck. But prior it did not obstruct my view. I’ve never had issues with it being in the way when loading/unloading junk. I did hit it a few times to test sturdiness, no movement. The camera has a wide angle view, so slight rotations will give you a nice view of the front and rear.

Very nice! I know I have a different camera, but here is what I did for mounting the rear view dashcam. I basically bought a little piece of aluminum from Home Depot (or your other local box store) drilled a hole in it and cut it to length. I bought a screw and washer to fit into the headliner attachment point. I don’t see it at all when I’m back there.

It actually sticks out past the weather sealing to get the camera as close to the rear window without touching.

I just recently moved it off the center headliner attachment point and put it on the one closer to the passenger side so that it would be in the wiper path.

I just saw your post, sorry about the delay.

I designed the rear dashcam mount in the thread above and printed the one 97BlackAckCL used in his vehicle.

I'll be happy to print the parts for you but I am afraid I don't have any more of the screws I used and I don't recall the dimensions, but a little trial and error is all it should take to get something that works well.

I'll be happy to print and ship the three printed parts and the hardware that connects them for $40.

Thanks for the offer, I already made one out of aluminum. It works for now, but I think my family and I have decided to sell the 4Runner for a new 2020 Highlander. A bit more comfortable for everyone and roomy.

Viofa A129 Pro? If so, thats what I got. I did similar but mounted right next to the button with a screw through the hole where the snap is and a piece of aluminum. Worked great.

Yup, that's the one!

Rear mount

I made my rear mount out of 1/2” aluminum tubing. Works great.

Any reason why you decided to do this from the side instead of dead center for mount?

 

[speedrr411]

I mounted it off to the side to keep it out of the way. I wanted to get it close to the rear window and felt if I centered mounted it I would likely be bumping it in the future. The rear video is really nice. Now to figure out the "cloud" option.

The cloud this is pretty cool when it works. The issue I have now is that the camera starts and restarts constantly while in use. I called the vendor and they told me to send it in. They then send it back to Blackvue in KOREA!!!!! They told me the whole process can take 6 to 8 weeks. Had I know that, I would never have bought it.

I removed the plastic button that holds the headliner and tapped it so I could bolt a bracket to it that I made. I just so happened to have some spray paint that is a very close match. Keeps it fairly close to the window and up out of the way.

This is a great setup. What size screw did you use?

Do you have a camera view example?

 

[SparkySparks83]

If I remember correctly I used a M6 screw.

The camera can see just about every edge of the back window and also has less line being up high.

TheDashCamStore ships out RMA item and include a return label where they'll send that defective camera back to Korea while you don't have to wait at all or worry about the camera that was being repaired

How long ago did you place this order with the Amazon seller? Could always do a chargeback if you don't get it back in a timely manner
