How to Install a Rearview Mirror Dash Cam?
2 Answers
A dash cam can safeguard the legal rights of drivers, especially when pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles crossing the road are not paying attention. If the situation changes, the driver might be subjected to extortion or blackmail. Installing a dash cam provides the driver with direct and effective evidence. The installation of a dash cam enables traffic police to handle accidents accurately and swiftly, not only facilitating quick clearance of the scene to restore traffic flow but also helping to create a smooth traffic environment. Installing a dash cam can effectively remind drivers to be cautious, discouraging them from violating traffic rules and significantly reducing the probability of traffic accidents. When courts handle traffic accident cases, the footage can assist in making more accurate judgments regarding sentencing and compensation, while also providing insurers with valid evidence.
When installing a rearview mirror dash cam, I often do it myself to save a lot of money. The first step is to choose a good location, usually above or next to the rearview mirror, ensuring it doesn't obstruct the view. Then, prepare the tools: the dash cam kit usually comes with a mount, connecting cables, and a cigarette lighter adapter. I use double-sided tape or a suction cup to fix the mount, first cleaning the glass to ensure it sticks firmly without loosening. Wiring is crucial—I route the cables along the interior gaps, avoiding the airbag areas and air vents to prevent accidents. Plug the power directly into the cigarette lighter, then test to ensure normal startup and proper recording angle. Remember not to move it during car washes to avoid loosening. After a few tries, I found that planning the route in advance is very helpful, and I recommend starting with simpler models for practice.
