-----------------------------------------------
⏩ Where did this start?
I really enjoy tinkering with different projects - they usually require a whole bunch of research and learning along the way. It's satisfying on doing a thing and standing back and going 'Yeah! Totally did that!'. I had a bunch of mates asking 'how did you know how to do that?' and 'I couldn't never do that myself so I thought; I need to start something where I can help others that might be thinking the same thing :)
⏩ What will you find here?
The purpose is simply to make these videos as top quality and helpful as I can. They will always be free, there's ZERO agenda and the only motive is to try and upload what I would want to watch to help with that particular project. I'm also keen to keep building this little community and will try to answer all questions when asked - fire away :)
⏩ What's with the gloves?
Not after any RU-vid fame here which is why I'm not in the vids - they're not about me they're about the how-to! I used the gloves for the first couple of projects I filmed which just happened to be messy ones and it kinda just became a thing. Plus adds a little more personality I guess :)
New videos are being uploaded regularly so if there's something you'd like to see, have Questions and/or Comments drop me a line.
Cheers guys.

I watched a few installation vids. This is the best one. We bought a BlackVue 750x 2ch Plus and installed it into a Hyundai Tuscon. Easy to follow instructions here from wiring to routing the cables. Saved us the $200 cost of a professional installation. A couple of tips. As others have said, it’s best to install inside the wiper sweep rather than outside. We also had a similar large installation behind the rear view mirror and had to install the camera beside it. We inverted the unit so the the lens was as close to the centre of the car as possible. Then just used the software to flip the view. Simples.

@jc7654 2 года назад

i love my blackvue 750x2ch-plus and the older 750x2ch duel , both a great dash cams, really the only defence between them and the 900x is the 750x isn't 4k up front but it's still full hd at 60fps front and 30fps rear . for what i do it means that i get more minutes of footage on the Mirco sd card. before it overlaps unlocked footage because being duel camera's users twice as much memory to start with . much better when parking mode is on and you don't have any wifi hotspots available.

@garryh2873 2 года назад

Thanks Adam for another great video. Installed mine recently and found it was better to have the front camera a bit lower so it is positioned in the area where the windshield wipers cover. I also used the same spare fuse for my constant power supply but interestingly the other spare fuse just below is an ignition power supply.

@BrettBaker 2 года назад

Agreed, I want the area in front of the lens to be swept clean by the wipers. Can't understand why anyone wouldn't.

@boonarga Год назад

Yeah. I came to the comments for the same reason. I’ve seen too many videos where the camera is installed outside of the wiper sweep. They are terrible.

Hey Adam, great vid 👍 just on the wiring. Where you tuck the wiring underneath the trim in the airbag area. Does that clear the airbag deployment zone? Just seen another install vid on a BT50 (DMax platform) where the guy says it’s safer to go behind the airbag. Also, I’m hoping to use the ‘STOP(+B)’ 10amp fuse for the acc connection…just wondering if this one is ok to use, you know not a critical fuse ie airbag fuse? BTW keep up the great content 👍

@wingzero743 Год назад

With the constant power fuse fuse, cavle did u double fuse it or just one fuse for dash cam constant power?

@dougsullivan9022 Год назад

Thanks Adam. Great vid. I have a query, though. At approx 7:15, you say that the piggy back fuse (for the dashcam) only needs to be 1 amp. The in line fuse for the cam is 3 amps so a 1 amp fuse is over protecting the circuit. The piggy back fuse, I think, needs to be equal to or higher than the in line fuse. Then the in line fuse can still do its job and the piggy back fuse doesn't need to do anything except complete the circuit. Using a 1 amp fuse, even if it doesn't blow, will create extra resistance in the circuit and may cause under performance of the cam or frequent fuse blowouts. I suspect that this hasn't been raised as an issue because I've never seen a 1 amp auto fuse so everyone is just using a 5 amp and all is sweet 🙂 Perhaps I'm misunderstanding something?

@AllenGraetz 2 года назад

I don't get the windshield wiper thing. Maybe it doesn't rain much in Australia so not a big deal. But it most rains every day in Florida. I want my camera where the wipers are removing that rain off the windshield.

@peterrandall1773 Год назад

2:50 I really disagree with the placement of the camera out side the arc of the wipers. You’ll need to constantly maintain that area other than washing your windscreens with wipers. As you can see in the internal shot there’s enough muck on the windscreen to start impacting the video vision quality. Great video other than that.

@GoYourOwnWay49 Год назад

Hey Adam, thanks for pulling this dash cam video installation together…sorry about the late response but I wasn’t ready to install a dash cam when I first watched this video soon after you put it on RU-vid…I’m going to attempt an install soon…my question is I’ve already got a fuse tap on the acc (usb 10amp) fuse and I’ve also used the same fuse (15amp) for the GME video CB install you did a little while ago. Is there another fuse I could use for the acc wire? I also have a 2021 DMax xterrain…hope you can help? No worries if you can’t 😊

@rasigscharles8442 2 года назад

Great Vid Adam. I've missed something with the installation of the rear camera. at 9.49 you mention connecting the rear camera with the cable being routed from the fuse box. I thought the rear camera had to come from the socket in the front camera itself, which means routing the cable from the front camera to the rear camera. Can you pls clarify which is the correct way to connect the rear camera? to make it harder my rear camera is attached to the rear window of my canopy...much farther away :) cheers mate.

@VideoShowMeHow 2 года назад

Yep you are correct, cable runs from rear camera to front camera. I just routed back down to fuse box area to bundle the extra length so was tidy up the top at the camera 👍

@rasigscharles8442 2 года назад

Thanks mate. As my rear camera is at the back end of my Canopy, I'm not sure the cable will be long enough to reach there through the front grommet, along the chassis and somehow into the Canopy and to the camera. Any ideas ?

You “don’t want the wipers to come in front of the vision of the camera”?? Of course you do, otherwise you’ll have rain drops and rain streaks in front of the camera instead. In snowier climates you’ll have snow and ice building up there. Heck in dusty locations you’ll have patches of dirt that are completely obscuring the camera also.

A couple of things that Blackvue should put in their dashcams, first is the event button so we don't have to scroll through the clips to find what we're looking for, secondly is the spoken warning about red light and speed cameras. For these reasons alone I choose Navman over Blackvue. My first dashcam was Blackvue 560 I believe and it was good but couldn't stand the Australian heat so it died after a couple of years. Same with the memory card it came with, it died also from heat. Hopefully the newer models have been improved to withstand Australian heat

If you don't want to run the back up power,then just use the 12volt power socket if you have 1.

Hi , Any idea on how to add rear view camera on rear window in dmax with a canopy ?

@VideoShowMeHow Месяц назад

I'm yet to do this but is on the list, will just need to route the rear camera wire back there

@brianstokes2572 Месяц назад

Haven't looked at it properly. But think there's a gromet behind the back seat. Maybe bring wire through that be a tight squeeze then under the body through the driver side break light and in..only got dash cam yesterday. So il give it a go the weekend . Thanks... And I love the videos you do very helpful

@VideoShowMeHow Месяц назад

Yep there definitely is, there's a gap up under the lip on the inside front corners of the tub also, that's where I was thinking of bringing in

@brianstokes2572 Месяц назад

@@VideoShowMeHow I may have found an easyier way . If you pull down the rear seats you have a capet/liner behind them on the wall and in the middle of that behind the carpet there is a vent . So i brought the wire throught that and under the body and up through rear passanger tail light and in to tub. Job Done :)

So, if this is in parking mode or whatever it's called, and someone comes by and walks in front of the car, and then breaks into your car and steals things, including the camera, is anything saved automatically to the cloud or your phone, so that you can see who broke into your car and stole the camera?!?

Anyone put one of these into a DMax with a canopy? How/where do you route the rear camera cable?

@GregSharkey 2 года назад

I am currently looking at doing this. As far as I can tell, we will need to route the cable out through the grommet in the firewall, then along the chassis rail, entering the tub through the grommet in the front wall of the tub. The only other option I can find is to go through the vent in the back wall of the cabin and then into the tub.

@bobcunningham5176 2 года назад

@@GregSharkey had to tackle that grommet to get the tailgate lock done. It was pretty tight fit, not looking forward to going there again

@rasigscharles8442 2 года назад

@@bobcunningham5176 Yeah, that Grommet was a pain and unfortunately I had to cut it to get the tailgate done, But once I put the rear camera through and all set up, I'm going to put a big dollop of Silicone on either side of that grommet !!! Also not intending to tackle too many deep river crossings though :)

@bobcunningham5176 2 года назад

I found there is a spare small grommet behind the rear seat on the passenger side. Its right next to the grommet for the fuel cap release cable. Pretty easy to get to once you remove the plastic trim behind the rear seat.

@matty-dc4pq 2 года назад

Why are you saying not to install behind wiper swept area? Chances that wiper blade would be obscuring vision during an incident would be astronomical and its much better to have clear area in front of camera.

@VideoShowMeHow 2 года назад

Based on what BlackVue recommend 🤷

@jerrycann6374 Год назад

The best? I complained to Blackvue about the audio recordings on my 750x Plus compared to my 650GW, the explanation I got is very disappointing..."D650GW or any S Model dashcam uses AAC Compression format while the latest DR900X or any X model dashcam uses MP3 Compression format. AAC Compression has clear sound compare to MP3 format"

@mr_unsane 2 года назад

@@VideoShowMeHow First one kept cycling power over and over and over, second set never worked out of the box at all, and my current set keeps shutting down for extended periods for no reason at all. I have even tried changing the vehicle i have it installed in, reinstalled them with better solder joints instead of butt splices, ive treid everything, but am at my whits end with Blackvue/pittasoft/and black box my car i would advise against ordering from them especially if you live in the USA . They make it seem as if they are a US company on their website when they are Canadian, so returns are serious hassle and they wont pay for your return, first one cost me $60 to return, and they wont allow insurance of more than $10 on the return because of duty taxes or whatever. So if it comes up missing you are out $500. Just all around one of the worst buyng experiences I have ever had.

Don't waste your money. Blackvue does not support their app very long. As the Android operating system advances, the app will no longer be available way before the camera becomes obsolete. Without an app the camera is a paperweight.
