Can you guys tell me if I place a Vantrue Nexus 2X here, will it block any sensors on the rearview mirror or screw anything else up with the car?

FWIW I just installed a FitcamX with polarizing lens, 4K front / 2K rear and love it. It was super cool watching what the mechanics did while the car was in for service! They had no idea I had a dash cam. Not sure if they have an S650 version yet though.

I reached out to Fitcamx and they don’t have one for the ‘24 yet but are working on it.

Install yourself?

Yes, pretty straightforward, it uses an existing connector behind the rearview mirror.

Unbelievable.
There are a lot of low life grubs out there.

Insurance Fraud: Dashcam Saves Driver

This driver caught a wild insurance scam on her dashcam.

Beyond revealing a scumbag scam, Vortex compares the Viofo A129 Plus with the A229 Plus and the recently released A329.

This is exactly why I have both front and rear dashcams on my Mustangs. I have the Blackvue 900X-2CH Plus Dash (Front and Rear) with 128GB SD Card as well as the B130-X battery for it.

When I came out of the Army I needed work so started Security and Protections type stuff. That branched into Private Investigations for a few years. I live in the GTA where 70% of New Canadians end up living (it rhymes with Hampton).

25 years ago this was starting to become one of the biggest scams that new canadians would do in order to get the large payouts. They would load up a car, all male, all over the age of 18, and they would go for a drive and "whoops, we got into an accident and now none of us can work for life becuase of neck and back injuries".

I would hate to see how bad it is today (I am no longer in that field).

I just bought the Vatrue N2X, I have no problem about the quality, I have a big concern about the size... where can I fix it?? under the mirror is not fitting well, it is a huge device in front of my eyes, looks horrible.
Are there any really small camera or something that looks like OEM or can be integrated?
I like to keep the stetic of my car and I am not going to install a massive device just on the front glass.

I believe the basic difference between dash cams is the customer service given by the seller/brand. This fact is why I use Rexing products.

If you looked at the country of origin, you'd find out the vast majority are made in China. You can almost be 100% assured the CCD Image device(s) are made in the same plant regardless of what brand we're talking about. Further, those advertised as 4K aren't really 4K, just close to the standard. Doesn't matter really, as just having one is worth a lot more than the brand name on the box.

I also suspect everyone who does have one has seen their share of idiot drivers. I sure have, but you need to keep one thing is perspective. If you decide to indulge in illegal street racing, and you get caught, that dash cam and its contents can be used in a court of law. Speaking of which, we all look at the YouTube videos of illegal street racing, but we don't see the videos of the resulting court proceedings after the arrests when they occur. Buyer beware!

Smallest decent dashcam?? Currently I'm looking at a VIOFO A119 Mini 2 but from what I understand I cannot add a rear view camera?
Any other small sized cameras where I can have both front and rear facing units?
Not looking for bulky units.
Thanks as I am new to this.
