I see a number of threads about how to/where to install a dashboard cam on a Model S. Why would you want/need one and why on a Model S as opposed to other expensive cars?
Just curious.![Er... what? o_O o_O](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Just curious.

Exactly! I haven't gotten mine yet and I could have used it yesterday. I was a charger and someone backed into my hood...ya..no note.I'd offer up that there are more than one extensive threads on this. But the main reasons are video proof in cases where someone sees a high price tag vehicle and wants to try scam money by getting you to wreck into them. Or to have parking video in case someone hits the car and takes off without leaving insurance information.
I got into an accident with my Nissan Leaf, I had then green light approaching an intersection and another driver ran the red through the intersection in front of me. I slammed on my brakes and ended up sliding in to her car between the driver side front and rear doors as she went through the intersection. At least 6 witnesses and not one stopped. I tried to get security camera footage from hotel on the corner to no avail.
Immediately following the accident I wrote down my information in a document, the next day reported it to both insurance companies. Other person couldn't be reached by either insurance company for a week or two, she finally gave her side of the accident through her lawyer. With no witnesses it became a my word vs her word, she said she had the green and I T-boned her.
My insurance company stood by me and kindly did not make me pay my deductible and cut me a check for my totaled car, however 10 months later the case still hasn't been completely settled.
I now have dashcams in all of my cars. If I get in an accident I will ask the police to review the camera footage at the scene and document it. Cheap price to pay to have an actual recording of the situation. And if I am the cause of the accident so be it, I accept responsibility for my actions.

In the case of the Model S, installing a dashcam is easy so, why not install one.
Also what are the recommended cams?
UCD Med Hospital parking garage where I park for work. Sorry. I should have specified. They have about 8 Clipper creek chargers for staff and visitors.Which charger: Folsom, Roseville or Rocklin?
Frustrated, I just now went online and bought that BlackVue 650s. There was a guy at the Palladio new SC that had one and liked it. Easy install 1 channel wifi.People here love the Blackvue, mostly because it comes with a rear view channel. I have a Streetguardian and a Panorama S, both of which are great cams as well.
DashCamTalk Is a great spot for reviews and recommendations.

How easy? Mind pointing to a step-by-step guide? Thanks.
Yup. Folsom outlets have 4. Very slow and very busy.So Folsom has 2 SCs?
