I originally had the Blackvue DR900S (4K Dashcam) installed in my Model S AP1(no TeslaCam)
When I switched to the Model 3, I didn’t think I needed to reinstall my Blackvue DR900S as the car came with the TeslaCam feature but after reviewing the video footage, I was very disappointed with the video quality and narrow view of the front camera.
I ended up reinstalling the Blackvue in my Model 3 and here are some comparisons to help others who are also considering the same. I have not completely dialed in the night mode settings yet and blend mount adjustment.
I went with the Blendmount BBV-4014 that attaches to the rearview mirror for a clean install,
Aluminum Dashcam Rearview Mirror Mount,Specialty Series, BBV-4014,BlackVue DR900S/DR750S
Here is a link for 12% off any Blendmount products, Get 12% off your purchase!
I have it hardwired and I tapped into the hazard light plug for constant 12V
(yellow pin 1 for power, black pin16 for ground)
The Blackvue has 4K video recording, wider view, sound recording, more clear view of license plates, the blackvue can also stay on 24/7
The TeslaCam (it wasnt designed to be a dedicated dashcam) is great for being a “free” solution but it's far from the aftermarket offerings out there
