    Omg! This perfect. We just had a women walk in front of my car in a parking lot, forcing us to stop. As we turn to leave, I watch her from the passenger mirror having a hunch, sure enough, she actually pushed the shopping cart into the back end of my car! When we confronted her about it, like a switch, she put on a face of “who me”?
    Seriously!
    We called her out for hitting my car and how rude she was. Nothing. Completely played it off like she did nothing!
    Buying this today!! Thank you so much.

    Great breakdown of your setup. What I would suggest for wiring is to just run some wire to the cars headliner in the various camera locations (like you currently have) but then crimp/solder in your own connectors (something widely available). This would allow you to quickly make an adapter out of the wire the camera provides, you won't be tied to their proprietary plug and having to re-run cable every time.

    I remember about 15 years ago, or so, a company trying to sell a product called the DIVA. It was a recording unit that could accept multiple camera inputs and you could tailor how you wanted to record. I think it was mostly marketed to track day enthusiasts who would want to record track footage. I remember being very excited about it but then never saw anything about it. It looks like what many trucking companies use for multiple camera setups today. It's about time the consumer market got some more comprehensive systems besides simple 2 channel and suction cup multi channel dash units.

    Nice setup. A low tech solution to your fixed side camera's so you could capture less footage toward the rear and a more balanced capture towards the front, like a police encounter would be to use a low angle wedge that you could affix to the window then your camera to the wedge.

    currently my dad runs a Rexing V1P+ duel dash cam setup for a 1995 Nissan Quest Minivan. lets just say that I wanted to get him a late birthday present along with a duel cigarette lighter USB converter. suffice to say it takes a bit to get it going but it does work, it does 1080p up front and 720p in the rear. So far we've done a few tests in the park and so far it's worked for a trip down to Monterrey (I had to advise him on how to get it to record plus ordering a USB card reader just to get the footage off the card and onto the computer to be edited.)
    Now for my setup I'm going to be running 4 Rexing V1P+ Duel Dash cam's for the front, rear and the use the rear cam's as left and right in a 2006 Dodge Charger SRT8 (converted to electric). I already have the Rexing connect app already installed on my phone.

    I didn't know there was a dash cam that had the ability to look out the sides with 2 small cameras like that one that sticks to the windshield. I've been wondering if there was a less complicated way to record video while the car is parked besides running 2 blackvue 2ch setups. I really need something that can protect my car for over 12 hrs per day in high resolution while parked more than anything else. It's what I'm not around to see with my own eyes that concerns me.

    I had a DVR with 4 channels installed in my car due to vandalism issues at work. One camera was a rear license plate frame mounted unit and the other was a forward facing interior windshield mount. The last two camera I had mounted to my side view mirror stalks/mounts(flush mounted). These last two cameras could record any side view keying of car or closeness of road raging drivers while passing etc.. All cameras were motion activated and system ran off my battery while at work for 10-12 hrs.

      Forgot to add that I had planned to add a few Harbor Freight solar/battery chargers to extend battery life but never got around to it. They fit perfectly within the sliding sunroof shade sleeve. I never found the PC based DVR to be user friendly since this was before WiFi and Bluetooth and no 9 volt Apple friendly DVRs were available. Nowadays Tesla for example will do all my system did and send notifications etc. I plan on installing an identical system in my 2019 Civic finances allowing. Interior front/back,side view mirror mounts and maybe side view cameras mounted to roll cage. The battery backups and a 6 or 8 channel DVR might be cool as well.

    11:20 since you asked, i currently use a single cell phone held by a phone holder suctioned to my sunroof. I can rotate it 360 degrees easily and transfer the video files very easily. This was a cheap alternative method to a dedicated dashcam system which is exorbitantly priced. My cell phone cost only $50. I have multiple smart phones and multiple phone holders for simultaneous multiple angles. The drawback is that i cant control the recording function of all of them while driving, so I only use the one up front that I can manually rotate and operate from the driver's seat. It's fun.

    Your channel and videos really did help me with a ton of information and helped me decide on a dashcam. Don't have Blackvue in India (where I am based) but wondered how you would have handled such a situation.
    I got a 129.
    Apart from all the good things and short comings covered in your channel, I felt a couple of things were missing and which were important for me.
    I wanted to have a 4 side coverage like you have shown so well here. Since there aren't any 4 camera dashcams around yet, I decided to go for 2 dashcams with a dual (front & rear) cameras like you did here. So in all 4 different views from 2 different dashcams (front & rear twice). Here is where I ran into a couple of issues that were important for me.
    1.I cannot connect 2 different Viofo Dashcams to my Viofo App on my mobile app simultaneously. This is the case even if both were Viofo Dashcams. I will have to decide which of the two I want to connect my mobile to. Alternatively, I will have to buy myself another mobile phone connection and then have both the Dashcam recordings in two separate mobiles.
    2. The second is that I cannot connect a single A 129 to two different mobiles simultaneously. Say if I were to loose my mobile, my 2nd mobile would have all the recordings (even though the loss of my mobile would be bad, my loss of the recordings may just save the day).
    Imaginary/ Hypothetical ? Not really.
    I actually have this on a GPS tracker that I use. 2 different devices (like 2 different dashcams). Their mobile App can store (and therefore track) multiple devices to a single app. Additionally, I have this on 2 different mobiles (not sure if it can be added on more…did not need it on more). Not that I am in any way connected to it nor am I being sponsored to say so, but OneLap Go is one such (there could be more)….So I am speaking from the experience of using multiple trackers on a single mobile app and the use of tracking on different set of mobiles simultaneously.
    My plan is to travel a lot across different regions that speak different languages and under different governments…hence…. So now I have to decide how I wish to go about the 2nd Dashcam to ensure 4 side coverage - any dashcam other than a Viofo or to live with 2 mobiles each capturing one set of dashcams.

    I use two dash camera’s Thinkware for exterior use only from and rear, and Samomo for the interior’s facing towards the driver’s and the rear facing towards the front of the car interior. I have this set up because Uber and Lfty driver’s get accused of false statements. It I’m looking for side impact dash camper’s for insurance false claims.

    I have a 4 channel in my car, although it's different, I have forward and rear facing external cameras then I have a front overhead (rear edge of the sunroof) that captures the front passenger area and a little out the front side windows and then one that sits above the RVM facing rear that shows the rear passenger area. Did this partially in case of a break in or for any encounters with police/road rangers where my behavior might be called into question. As well as capturing some good JTK action with ALP. I am planning to add a couple more cheaper cameras for side view too... Probably will be a 6 channel setup when done.

I rolled my window down to ask if something was wrong, and they said I cut them off and they flipped me off. I had my disabled child with me and I chose safety and did not engage with them further. This incident lead me to want to get dash cams. I found your video and this looks like it might be helpful. I wonder would the side mounted camera, if on the back fixed window, be able to capture enough of what's outside the driver's side window? If yes, this would be super helpful in such situations. Thank you @vortexradar

      Sorry to hear that! It will depend on how far away they are. If they’re in a car next to you, it’ll usually be okay. If they’re right next to your drivers or passenger side window, that’ll likely be too close to be picked up. I wide interior cabin camera can help add coverage out the front windows, depending on where you install it, how wide the lens is, and how wide your vehicle is of course.

    Any news 1year later about a 360 system? I was thinking of maybe doing some D.I.Y with maybe a raspberry pi or a extra phone to get 2 extra channels (sides). Think i put 2 cameras under side mirrors close to the carbody or mayby 3d-print a new mount for the turn indicators to hold both camera and indicators to get pictures if someone slams their own car door into my car or so.
    I have an old insta 360 one x. If I could put one lense on each side I would cover all that a front+back dashcam would miss. Lot of fun stuff to think about but a seperat 2channel side dvr I can buy would fit me best.

    If you mount anything on your windshield, cops will give you a ticket for vision instruction specially if they are suffering from anger issues. Despite this, there are crazy drivers and I do believe you need something to protect yourself. I would go with common sense and still use one if that helps me be safe on the roads. Surprised that most new cars have integrated cameras for lane correction and other new features etc., but haven’t thought of integrating it into the cars safety features to allow drivers to record without the need of additional recording devices. It’s a no brainer for car manufacturers to sell this as a value added feature customers will appreciate.

      That hasn’t been my experience, but YMMV I’m sure depending upon location, your specific setup, and I guess even if the cop wants to cite you for that. I’m guessing the vast majority of people are putting cell phone mounts on their WS, not RD’s and dashcams.

    When you just pop in to view your cameras if they are connected to a wifi hotspot - theoretically that’s all the data it should use is right then right?
    I’d like to add six cameras but no one sells a data plan with enough data to cover that if I were say to stream them to my tv and watch them.
    Do these cameras use the data continually or just when you actually get into the app to look at them?

    Yo Ariel,
    This is so neat, thanks for sharing.
    A while back I experimented with two dash cams.
    (Very cheap quality $45 2K@30fps 170 degree FOV)
    I stuck them on my fixed side windows on the rear doors just like you did.
    I was just curious what the footage would look like.
    Overall the footage is nauseating to watch because the scenery is moving by so fast.
    However I discovered something amazing.
    The cameras were able to capture the licence plates that my front & rear camera failed to, due to the speed, and direction of both my car, and the target car.
    The camera mounted on the driver side (left) worked exceptionally well at capturing the plate of an oncoming vehicle when both my car, and the target car were both traveling around 25MPH - 40MPH.
    Like I said I was amazed this could even happen, and I would have never discovered it, had I not gotten bored, and started playing with my dash cams. lol
    I currently have two Viofo A129 Plus Duo's.
    My original plan was just to use the Main units for front & rear so I can have 2K@60fps both channels.
    But after learning from my experiment I decided to hook up the "rear" cameras for both my left & right side views.
    I've had to buy an additional 20 foot USB cable to power the main unit mounted on the rear window, because the original 13 foot cable was 2 feet too short.
    The difficult part will be running the "rear" cameras wires because I plan to remove my door panels, and associated trim pieces because I want all the wires to be totally hidden. But I think it will be worth it because, once installed you will not be able to see any wires. I plan to make a video showing my install once all done.
