So where do most mount their dash cams? I bought a dash cam for the van but it's designed to stick on the window with a sticky pad ...but
1) it's at the wrong angle as obviously designed for cars with more sloping windscreen
2) it came with a feckin cigarette lighter socket.


So I can buy another cable for it that just plugs in to my USB on dash that's powered by ignition.

And I can make a bracket to mount it on dash or suspended from overhead cabinets.

It's just a cheap and simple camera as I don't want an overly expensive complicated jobby.

So where's yours mounted bottom of screen or top ?

I’ve mounted mine on top and in the middle and the blind comes down without touching it, so it stays in place! Also it’s hard wired

You can buy a hardwire kit from amazonia or fleabay.

I'm going to mount mine soon but think bottom as I can get it in the wiper blade area easier, think Lenny HB did his at top.

No idea

I paid what paid, also no idea why it should be more for an A class as an Alde system is an Alde system choose what moho it’s installed in surely.

Ok I can see why a system is different in a 6mtr van to a 9mtr van as you’ll have more pipe-work and possibly radiators. But both vehicles could be any class couldn’t they?

If I remember right from the long thread on here somewhere, A Class are generally more complicated to work on.

Might have been other reasons as well.

That usually comes up in conversations re engine servicing rather than habitation work though.

Mine is mounted on the dash behind my rear view monitor.

Usual Voltages
Cig lighter 12v
USB 5v

 

[CazPaul]

Yes,assuming the camera end is plug in also? usually are. Remember the "cigarette lighter" end will usually be an 12v to 5v adaptor as most cameras are 5v. All mine have come with
2 x cigarette adaptors ,1 x 12vto 5v & the other 24v to 5v.

I used to have both cameras mounted one in centre & one on passenger side ,both at top.When I fitted blinds the centre one is still there but the passenger side is now mounted on the dash .

 

[Flairy]

I’ve got my camera at the lower part of the screen and hard wired into the ignition.

Impressive looking beast

 

[The Coops]

Get a heavy glass coaster. Mount it on that and keep on the dashboard so it can be secreted away from prying eyes and bored dogs who may want to chew it. No names no pack drill but starts with a B ....

Very much the same as our setup.

Cheers,
