installed camera..caught this today

not sure what her deal was but I'm gonna find out...could it be I parked across two stalls in a totally empty lot ? I came out to find my wiper extended and also had this done last week with the rear wiper also out..today she also twisted passenger mirror back 180 from closed position...grr...scratched the side of fender (minor)....(yes I must reposition the camera to clear the detector and give full frontal view)

These cameras are very handy..I have them in all my vehicles...here's last Friday in my Corvette..

i am planning to install a blackvue camera on my new 2014 ml350. it is really good to catch "hit and run". It seems I need to connect it to the fuse box to be able to record when car is parked. Anyone knows how to wire the cable to a fuse box?

Which camera do you have?

I've looked into this ever since someone tried to scam me in a fake accident that resulted in that person sing charged. The camera was running while the car was parked and off. Won't that kill the battery?

Yes, would also like to know which cam you're using.

Did the clown on crutches mess with the Subaru as well, or was she driving it??

Hello Nanook

When looking at the camera from the outside through the front windshield is there any type of a visual indicator such as a blinking/steady light. etc? Would you be kind enough to post a frontal photo that shows how the camera would appear from the outside of the vehicle.

Thanks in advance.

BTW great posts.

I left her a message on her car to cease and desist along with a photograph of her in the act...funny I haven't seen her vehicle around this area lately and she used to park in that spot daily..

This gal hobbled over on crutches...envy and jealousy must rule this petty woman.

You touch my car again and even crutches won't help you get around

Don't know if I'd want that in my M3 - you get stopped and cop may want video evidence of "misdeeds"!
