Dash Cam - Toyota Yaris Forums

I'm considering a G1W-H Hidden Dashboard Dash Cam for $61 ON Amazon. Any feedback on these or better suggestions for this price range?

Shit. Sorry for posting in the wrong area. Please move to the electronics section.

I prefer the all in one, DVR in rear view mirror. I have it running when parked because I have been victim of two hit and runs. Gouged and cracked bumpers. Dual cameras, the rear one I use all the time to display what's behind me (blind spot)

And I run a gopro hero 4 on the dash as well.

thank you. However, my mirror has other functions built in and i don't want to give them up.

got mine installed like this

Will need to check it out and get back to you

ezhacker1 · 05-11-2015, 02:53 AM

i understand, the one i have clips onto the oem, not a huge fan of this approach, but it works. And main thing is no one would suspect the mirror is also a dvr with a camera. so i keep my front two windows, (hatchback) cracked to get outside audio. only thing i need is a camera inside.

few years ago, my car got broken into, and only thing i found missing was a friggin rubik cube....wtf. so im happy to pay $100 total with sd card to catch stuff.

I have a G1W-C in my Yaris, I'm happy with it.

That looks to be pretty good!

Which brand tho? Is it the one made by Black Box?

Link?

I have the older G1W in my Yaris. Works great. Nice clear 1080p video, works pretty well at night also. I've got an old 4gb micro SD card in it. It holds about 40 minutes of video. I have mine set to cycle every 10 minutes and delete files as the card fills up.

fnkngrv · 05-29-2015, 05:20 PM

I would like to buy a couple for better coverage and be able to record while parked at places too.

47_MasoN_47 · 05-29-2015, 05:46 PM

I've thought about running mine directly off the battery so it was on all the time, I've just not done it. Mine's got a 120 degree lens, so it easily picks up all 6+ lanes and some to the side of an interstate. I think the newer ones have 140 degree.

The newer ones also have a motion detection feature, so you can record after you park. Might try that with mine, the buttons can be a little wonky at times.

fnkngrv · 05-29-2015, 05:47 PM

Yeah for parking I would like to have front n rear.

47_MasoN_47 · 05-29-2015, 05:59 PM

Indeed. I'd like to get a rear facing one as well. Do you have any ideas for a better permanent mounting solution than the suction cups? I hate suction cups.
