When you say variable bit rate, do you mean for normal video or park mode? Ill have to look at it next time Im out there. I think Im pretty done roasting today. I already put Oracle bumper lights in the wife's Jeep earlier and attempted and failed to put some decals on the side windows.
For variable bit rate, I meant for main mode, not parking mode. It will be under the "Bitrate" option and setting it to the higher/highest option will increase the size of the videos dramatically, but by doing so reduce compression and equally as dramatically increase quality.
Yes, for parking mode I set it to "Auto Event" mode, I had tried the FPS and lower bitrate modes and just preferred the event mode.
Curious where you installed your rear camera. My Blackvue 900S just died. Looking into buying the Wolfbox now but cant think of a good place to mount that rear camera.https://wolfbox.com/products/wolfbox-g900-4k-2-5k-touch-screen-parking-monitoring-dash-cam
I use the Wolfbox G900 Dash Cam. I picked it because it has two rubber straps and it attaches to your rear-view mirror. It does not attach to the windshield, or your dashboard. It is not easy to see that you have the dashcam installed. I ran the cables through the different panels so you cannot see the cables. From outside the vehicle it just looks like a standard rear-view mirror. It does have to be off-set a little for the front facing camera to see around the sensor stuff behind the rear-view mirror.
I took a couple pictures, they are not really good pictures but they will give you an idea of what it looks like. If you look at the first picture, you can barely see the corner of the stock rear-view mirror. I leave mine up all the time and nobody has messed with it. You can see the cables on the top of the mirror, but they are not easy to see from the outside of the Jeep. The front facing camera is adjustable...
I bought the long wire kit for the kit. I ran it into the back door and have it mounted on the spare tire. I will post some pictures tomorrow when it is light out. I can be installed outside, in fact they recommend the back camera should be outside...
Interesting. I mounted my rear camera on the sound bar as I wanted to be able to remove the hardtop without issue. It is not ideal but have decent view. Will have to investigate whether the BlackVue 900X rear cam can handle the exposure.
Maybe not a professional looking install job, but it works. I would like to clean it up a little. I got power to the rear camera from inside the tailgate by tapping into the rear brake light harness.
Looks like you got a dashcam purchased, I hope it's working well for you.
Its actually working very well. Video with it is pretty good. I research a lot too and at the time, it seemed this was one of the better ones for night recording etc. It does not have a battery or super capacitor but does wire into the Jeep itself. It also has a voltage cut off switch so it the battery drops below a certain point, it will turn itself off to not drain the battery. So far, for what I paid for it, I am impressed.
