I mean with the 12v socket hanging out and all doesn’t appeal me. This will be my first time but I will find out and let you know!
I was lucky on my car as there are two 12V sockets inside a cubby hole on the centre console and my Grandson being a dab hand at car trims manage to remove the cubby hole box, install the dash cam cable, put it all back together and you can’t see any cables but must admit its a pain having trialling cables as in my last car in the cab that I think are more dangerous than hard wiring the camera. Hard wiring is a risk of fire so they say but dangling wires in the driving seat area can cause obstruction to operating the car safely.
With all the fuss about installing dash cams in Motability cars when someone rear-ended my car in February 19 the first thing RSA asked me was “don’t suppose you have any dash cam footage” and yet there the ones who don’t like the risk of fire in hard wiring a camera.
Going back to the subject of sending dash cam footage to the police I wonder if anyone here has done that? I say this because going back awhile I tried to forward some footage to the police but you had to go through countless form filling to do it with them asking what crime had been committed and were you the victim, was anybody injured, the list goes on so I gave up and fell at the first fence and won’t bother in future unless someone been really injured.
