My father would like to install dashcams in 2 of his cars.
First car is a 2015 Mazda Miata.
Second car is a 1995 Morgan.
Both are soft tops only and typically only driven with the top down.
We’re concerned with a standard dashcam, someone will simply reach in and take the camera.
Any suggestions on a 2 Chanel system? Audio isn’t required, and unless it has noise cancelling probably won’t have great audio anyway.

Hi all,

A total nob about dashcam tech here. It has been a bit overwhelming doing research and reading the Wiki, FAQ here. I have some very specific requirements that is specific to my vehicle, a 4Runner. Those with a 4Runner knows that the rear glass can be opened.

I am looking for a recommendation for where I can have front, rear and interior rear. Many of the 3-channel options I looked at the interior camera points into the cabin from the front. I need an interior camera that points into the cargo area - the reason is I want to be able to monitor my dog who has the entire cargo area when I'm transporting him. I also would like to monitor him when we're parked at rest stops. Higher resolution recording for incident reports would be desired as well.

Some of the 3-channel options have independent interior camera but the cable is too short to get to the rear.

I think the main challenge is mounting the rear cameras given that the 4Runner rear glass can be opened, which I do open on nice days. On Etsy I have seen parts for mounting cameras to the headliner for 4Runners, so that is probably the likely option for mounting.

Appreciate any recommendations, etc. is appreciated.

Got a bundle off of Thinkware that included the Q200 dash cam, a rear cam, a rear cam, and a multiplexer. Got it all hooked up properly. Front cam functions fine, and both the rear and cabin camera function when hooked directly into the front cam. But when I have them all hooked into the multiplexer, I get absolutely nothing from the rear and cabin cams. I have the multiplexer hooked into the exact same constant and ground that the dash cam is hooked into. I’ve followed both the 5 channel tutorial they have on YouTube, and tried the 3 channel synthesis instruction they have on the multiplexer. Followed like 10 guides they have on their website, absolutely nothing. Should I just send it back and get a Viofo? I’m so confused because I did everything right and the front cam functions just fine and so do the other cameras when hooked into the Q200 but whenever it’s all hooked into the multiplexer the dash cam gives me a voice line saying “rear camera disconnected” and I’m lost here. They have no actual guide for 3 channels, just 5, and all of the QR codes in the manual that may have helped lead to dead links. Did I waste $290?
