Dashboard mounted dash cam advice

[Broken Compass]

Hello everyone,

I have been looking for a while about dash cams, to be honest I am not good about hard wiring, also I am not fun of this kind of modifications. For this reason I am looking dash cam which it can be installed on dashboard.

To be honest so much options but almost all of it for windshield, from photos and videos I can understand view angle is quiet good but some of not.

My point is I just install on dashboard and cable it directly from lighter, I know cable little bit dangle around but it is ok for me. I would like to know your experiences.

I fitted a Garmin dashcam. It has to be mounted at the top of the windscreen so that it can see vehicles in front and not just the bonnet. I tucked the wire under the moulding around the windscreen and it comes out at a 12v to usb socket on the dashboard. It is quite neat and only took a few minutes to install.

I also installed another one on the rear door and fed the cable round the door moulding and then under the moulding in the boot so I could plug it into the coffee cup socket by the rear seat.

All works well with the Garmin app.
