Aftermarket Dash Cam Options
I would like to install an aftermarket dash cam in my 2024 GLE450. I have the U19 package which would allow me to use the current cameras in the car as long as I purchase the subscription, but even if I did, I'd like a better quality dash cam than the ones in the car. I also want a rear camera, which I don't think would be possible with the Mercedes Dash Cam option? I've seen the fitcamx options, but feel like there are better options out there for the price, especially for a 2 channel set up.
What brands have you guys used aside from Blackvue, which I consider to be one of the top brands out there? I have gone Viofo on my previous cars since they are known to have better capacitors that can handle the heat better here in Texas. Viofo was more budget friendly as well and I haven't had much complaints about my current ones.
Also, if you have installed these yourself, where are you tapping into for the parking mode? I'd like the camera to stay one while the car is off when we are out and about. The car is usually parked in the garage when we are home and we always disconnect the dash cam so that it doesn't drain the battery down to the cutoff setting.
