| # Front Dashcam Pair | ||
|
|
||
| ```{imgur-figure} 9dVe8pY | ||
| :width: 100% | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| I installed a BlackVue dashcam along with multiple batteries to get about 2 days of recording time while my vehicle is | ||
| parked. I live in San Francisco and while my car is parked overnight in a garage, I occasionally park my car in the street | ||
| and after a year nobody has broken in to steal the camera. | ||
|
|
||
| As a precaution I bought the tamper-proof case so a thief can't just pull out the wires and take the camera. Additionally I | ||
| zip tied the wires tightly to the internal metal part of my rearview mirror (and threaded it through a narrow hole for more | ||
| strength). Hopefully this means anyone that wants to steal the camera will need to bring a knife or scissors along, and I'm | ||
| hoping those are the minority of opportunistic thieves in the city. | ||
|
|
||
| ```{note} | ||
| I suggest covering up unused ports on the BlackVue battery with electrical tape. When I was unplugging and plugging in wires | ||
| I accidentally plugged the input power cable in the expansion port of the main battery, sending 12v from the battery back to | ||
| my car. Luckily nothing broke but I kept getting ABS errors until I figured out my mistake. | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| ## Items Purchased | ||
|
|
||
| BlackVue DR900S-2CH Dashcam | ||
| : * $490 | ||
| * Installed behind rearview mirror | ||
| * 4K main camera | ||
| * 1080p infrared second camera | ||
| * WiFi, GPS, microSD slot | ||
|
|
||
| Blackvue B-124X Power Magic Ultra Battery Pack | ||
| : * $330 | ||
| * Installed in the cargo area | ||

|
|
||
| ## Front Camera Pair | ||
|
|
||
| I first installed just the two cameras in the front and wired them to the batteries in my cargo area. For now I didn't wire | ||
| the batteries to my fuse panel, using the rear 12v outlet instead. | ||

| ## Hardwire Batteries | ||
|
|
||
| Once I was happy with the cameras I finished the project by hardwiring the batteries to my fuse box. I used the included fuse | ||
| taps and I used **15 amp** fuses. In the photos below you'll see two pairs of wires from my fusebox. I ran a second wire from | ||
| a second tapped fuse since I may add a second pair of cameras in the future. I tapped | ||
| [fuse 48 and 36](https://fuse-box.info/volkswagen/volkswagen-golf-vii-mk7-2013-2020-fuses). These are switched fuses so when | ||
| the ignition is off they'll lose power and prevent the BlackVue battery from draining my car's battery when parked. | ||
