After a lot of thought and research, I decided that I needed a dash cam in each of our cars. I feel like with the technology that is now available, it is cheap insurance. Particularly since we live in a town of horrid drivers.
I decided to buy one for the Mazda first since I drive it far more. I wanted something that had a front and rear channel, hardwired, and a good parking sensor feature. I also wanted a quality brand, as I just don't have the time or patience to futz around with a finicky system.
I purchased the Thinkware F770 2 channel system with a hardwire kit and a Cellink B parking mode battery. Install took around 2 hours and it could have been quicker if the add a fuse feature hadn't been a little vague on setup.
The camera is top shelf as of this writing. It is made in Korea using Sony sensors and offers a very sophisticated parking mode and Wifi integration which is how you view and download your videos. It takes front and rear video in 1080P.
I'm looking forward to testing it out and letting you guys know how it works. So far so good. I may want to play around with the wiring routing just to take car of excess that ended up being hidden in the headliner. Below are some pictures. Sorry that the car is so dirty. I had enough time tonight to either wash it or install the cam... so the wash waits for tomorrow.
