Just taken delivery of my rear facing dash cam, a E-Prance A1080 1080P HD recording and all for a sum of just over £30

Looking at running cables to it, from the rear boot cig socket, area, though this is switched live, up the side to the headlining and through those rubber tubes that go to the tailgate just above the rear screen

I'm think its best location will he up top, centred as this will be in the wiper arms cleaning section for best visablity, otherwise the dirt magnet of a rear screen will block vision

I have a power magic on the front camera, would this be able to provide safe power to the rear camera also, but running a cable from front to rear or do i need a separate power magic for the rear camera

SO!!

Any comments or thoughts, location of camera, suggestions etc Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I have the same camera as you mounted where you want to put yours,it works a treat now, the only problem I had was the power cable kept coming out when I opened the boot so I just adjusted the cable a bit and now it's fine.

how did you run your cable?

I have just been looking and under the headlining there is a foam sticker leading to a hole, which the cable easily runs through, but trying to run the usb power cable through the black tubes wasn't happening just then in the cold, went in but wouldn't feed through

have you any pictures of fitting and cable run? Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I recently fitted a rear one. I only ran a power cable down to the front to double up on the Power Magic Pro because I was doubling up the Rear Cam as a reversing camera and had to run a cable down to the drivers seat where my GVIF is.

Otherwise I think I would have just got another Power Magic Pro. 
Hung like Einstein, smart as a horse.

cheers

though i am hoping to not need to drop the roof trim down like yours  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

According to the Group Buy over on Disco 3 by Hids, two cameras, two Power Magics.

Make sure you hide the Power Magics out of the way, can easily be mistaken for Performance Enhancing Chips

just asked on disco4 to see what they think, HIDS might comment

Might just have it on/off with igintion anyway to save the cars battery drain Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

managed to run the cable this afternoon

from rear cig socket too up to the centre headlining, through a small hole in the room and through the rubber hose to the tailgate, behind the centre cover part and to the camera stuck to the screen centrally

the one i bought was not GPS and the older 0801 version

for a few ££ more i would get a 0803 with GPS for a forward facing that way you have location and speed data
http://www.amazon.co.uk/E-PRANCE-Ambarella...rance+0803

just be careful as they sell gps and non gps and the descriptions are ver similar Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

The quality of that picture for £30 is quite amazing.

Agreed. I Have the GPS 801 version as a front facing one

You need either two more, one for each side, or a drone following you

Excellent price/performance though

It wouldnt surprise me if cars don't start building this in as a option
