A'-Lo-HA ! y'all
Akikiki, I'm literally on the computer to order the Blackvue camera--I'd like to chat with you about the installation and see how you approached it. I'm keeping abreast of it on the forum, but would like to hear of your thoughts.
I'm going back and forth on the 2 channel or single camera, but leaning towards the single. What swayed you to the 2-channel?
Of course, glad to help. Why 2 channel? In this model, the rear depends on the front. But the front will work fine without the rear installed. (The two are connected by a long thin interface cable.) If I decide later to add a rear cam, then I have spent money on a device that I can't upgrade, I must replace. So I opted for the front/rear, even if I don't install the rear now. If you later decide to install a standalone rear, you must fine a 12v power source for the rear. With this model, the long thin interface cable provided both link and power.
There's a good thread here under Interior and Exterior on dash cam installation.
