A dash camera has certainly gained popularity in the past few years because of its
many benefits. You might even have one on hand ready to be installed. The
installation of the device is pretty direct to the point and most have detailed
instructions of the process itself. To help you out, here are three tips to
installing this device so it will give you the best results:
Basic
Tips in Installing a Dash Camera
Tip No. 1: Memory cards are vital! Why? This is
because a memory card is the vital recording channel for the dash cam. So before you install your
device, inspect if the card that you inserted in it is formatted.
It is better if you have a large memory card
storage capacity in order for you to obtain more footage. However, there are
dashboard cameras that are limited to a 32 GB memory card capacity. Always read
the user manual of your device or check the specifications online.
Tip No. 2: When mounting your dashboard camera, always remember that
discreet is key. Normally a dash camera mount is composed of either an adhesive
or suction. Both types of mounts are easy to install and long lasting, however,
you should think about the placement of your device.
This will depend on your personal preferences,
but think about your intention of installing this device is something you
should consider. If you want to capture real and authentic moments on the road,
it is highly recommended that you position in a discreet location unobtrusive
to your view on the road, particularly near the middle of the windshield behind
the rear view mirror so that you could capture a wider range of footage.
Tip No. 3: Neatly install the dash cam video camera’s wiring. There
is nothing more annoying than loose and wild wires in your windshield. This is
not just unsightly, but it is also extremely dangerous. A quick way to settle
this is to tuck the wires around the dashboard and use tape to secure it. You
can go to your vehicle repair shop and ask if they could install it underneath
your dashboard, if you have the budget for it.
Having a dashboard camera is definitely a
worthy investment and that you should keep in mind the following tips when
you’re installing it. Always make sure that the memory cards are always be
inspected, mount your camera in the most inconspicuous and optimal position,
and keep those pesky wires neatly arranged for you to get the most out of your
dashboard cam.
