Got round to putting a few clips together from the rear GS608 dash camera, The picture quality is defiantly no where near as good as the Transcend DrivePro 200 I've installed at the front neither is the sound quality it picks up. But it's better than nothing  :y

Before you ask why it has been positioned in the corner like that, Well It's mainly because of the rear blind but that's one of two reasons the other being that if I point it up so the parcel shelf isn't recorded the picture is pretty much black just focusing at the sky. I would mount the camera higher if I didn't use the blind not that I use it often it's just if it was accidentally pressed that's why I decided to put it there.. Anyway enough of my ramblings!  ;D

Rear Dash Camera Footage from the GS608 camera LINK It has been compressed for YouTube upload, Which has made it lag somewhat but the raw footage from the camera doesn't have any lag.

Took forever to upload this 6 hours there abouts, Didn't compress it at all, Total size uploaded 1.3GB... Was originally going to compress it to around 200mb but this gives the camera a fair shot, Quality looks pretty good better on the computer rather than YouTube though mind, Detail seems finer over the compressed version I made standby. Overall happy with the Transcend DrivePro 200 dash cam...

Looks good if you are able to post some sample video up would be great to see how it performs, especially at night.

Better late than never  :y

Here's what I did :)

The ground is connected straight to roof.
The 12v comes from the wire that goes to sunroof motor as you turn your ignition ON.
Very easy to find with multimeter.



I'm not sure but I recall something that the wire was under 10A fuse. And I think it works that way very good.

It's just a cheap HD DVR cam it records 720p video and you can see the license plate number from a car driving in ahead of you.
Couple times it has gone mad and not recorded but usually the next day it fires up again been there now 2 years and only once it has let me down when I needed it. Someone hit my car with a door on a parking lot.
