    USB corruption for dashcam recording

    After a couple of hours using dashcam, it stops working. The "dashcam" icon on the main display now includes an "X" instead of a red dot. Looks like the file system got corrupted. Plugging and re-inserting the drive didn't help. When I swapped in a new drive as the current one, the dashcam icon...

    4-CH dashcam setup + coverage of footage around the car

    Yesterday, I installed another 4-channel dashcam in a #Tesla Model S, so I thought you might be interested in the way it is set up. And I've also included footage of the coverage around the car.

    Road trip video: taking the Tesla dashcam business international

    While I was somewhat worried about Tesla's own dashcam feature, when it turned out to be pretty lame in feature-richness (but good video quality), and the fact that the feature is only for HW2.5+ cars :-(, I don't see the dashcam business collapsing anytime soon :). Proof of that was when a...

    USB port management if the Dashcam update in Rev 9 takes 1 port

    I know in the "interior and exterior" area of the forum there was a lot of talk about the possibility of adding a hub, but as far as I can tell, the majority of the users were looking at hub management for phone charging purposes. This seemed more of a connectivity issue. Now that there is...

    PHC dashcam for Tesla model x with ap2

    Maybe a stupid question but a few month ago I have installed PHC dashcam for Tesla model X with ap2. Since a few days I noticed a flashing blue light. I have looked in the manual what the color lights mean. I have seen what green means and what it means when it flashes. I also found out that...

    Dashcam Group Buy - GTA Only - Model S, 3, and X!

    I've been sitting on the sidelines hoping we'd get the AP Cam's as Dashcams like Elon promised, but now as he confirmed that won't be till at least Software V10 (we've been on 8 since 2016), I don't think its worth waiting anymore. I called a few people individually and going rate is $600-$800...

    Wi-Fi Hotspot for Model 3?

    What Wi-Fi hotspot are you weirdos using for the Model 3? All car hotspots I'm finding utilize the OBD port which the Model 3 does not have. I guess I could use a "regular" hotspot device provided by a carrier such a T-Mobile's Alcatel Linkzone but would I then have to keep it connected to the...

    Blackvue 900 dashcam video script

    I installed a pair of BlackVue 900s in my car and wrote a script to download the files and store them on my array. The script will download all files to a root directory, the date and finally front or rear. Note this script is for a quad channel set up aka 2 dual blackvue dash cams. Each...

    This conversion board is to tap the video signal from the rearview camera and then convert to the analog high definition (AHD) signal @720p30 for Dashcam / DVR application (something like blackvue)

    Vampire Drain Test: With and Without 24x7 Dashcams

    In another thread a member asked about how much vampire drain is caused by 24x7 (always on) use of a dual-channel (2 camera) dash cam. That led me to do a controlled test where I left the car unplugged on two separate trips (one 4 days, the other 3 days). One trip had the dash cams running as I...

    Difficult Dashcam Installation?

    From the Model 3 Walkthrough Video, the 3 lacks an OBD port making it difficult to DIY a dashcam yourself. I was hoping to install one of these myself: BlackVue DR750S Review Any idea how difficult it is to tap the power source Trevor is suggesting in the video?

    Great dash cam, simple install

    Blackvue Motion Detection settings

    I have my Blackvue hardwired into my Model S so it has constant power which is very nice. Surprisingly, it doesn't drain too much power but wanted to see what other people's Motion Detection setting sensitivity (in Parking Mode) is at. My camera captures too many videos of people walking by or...

    Question for those who are leasing their Tesla:

    I removed my Blackvue 2 channel dashcam from my BMW 3series before I sold it, and now leasing a Model S. Are there any "restrictions" or rules on self-installing a dashcam (Blackvue in particular) and hardwiring the power in a leased vehicle? thanks

    Where to put Blackvue cables on AP2 Model X

    I had a Blackvue DR650S-2CH installed in my AP2 2017 Model X. I wanted all the wires hidden in the center windshield conduit, but the installer said it can't be moved on new ModelX's and just used some cable clips to glue it to the windshield. From the driver's side it's harder to see but from...

    Bring the Dashcam in-house!

    I'd like to see Tesla offer, as an extra, a built-in dashcam app. Especially with AP2, cameras could be on 24/7 to capture front, back, and both sides. I like my BlackVue, but an integrated Tesla dashcam would be much cooler. And a safety deterrent like that would be a great marketing tool.

    Windshield conduit

    I asked my Tesla service rep. if I could buy a new windshield conduit because I wanted to hide the cables for dashcam in it alongside the exsisting one. They asked me if I had the part number for the conduit!? Shouldn`t they be able to find this for me? Does anybody here have this?

    Dash Cam in Refreshed MS

    Has anyone installed a dash cam in to the facelift model S? Looking at all the instructions I've hit a few issues, they all relate to the pre-facelift cars. The plastics around the rearview mirror are different. It feels quite fragile and I don't want to snap it. The fuse boxes have moved...

    How Dashcam Saved Me Thousands of Dollars & Headache(partly)

    It is extremely beneficial to install a dashcam not only to protect our prized possession but to protect ourselves from "what if" scenarios. Especially our EV practically can provide the power to monitor our car 24/7 compared to ICE vehicles. In Feb 2014, I decided to gift him the dashcam after...

    Access to Front Camera

    I'd love to see what the front camera (on AP cars for lane watch) can really see. I think it'd be great to have the ability to save a recording file to the car or a USB whenever the driver wanted to, such as a mountain drive or something, and/or have it save a recording when a "marking event"...
