It depends on the vehicle. Every vehicle is different, and some vehicles have housings in the centre of your windshield. The goal is to have it as high as possible, and as close to the centre.

You always want to make sure the windshield wipers cover the area where you mount it as well. If it snows and it’s not in that prime area, your dash cam will record the white snow and defeat the purpose.

No. We make sure to tuck all wires into the headliner, a-pillar, b-pillar, and under the dash of your vehicle. Certainly, there will be nothing plugged into your cigarette lighter, freeing it up for other uses. Please look at the images for a better look at a fully-installed dash cam.

The short answer is no. A couple factors is, how you install it, and how you set the dash camera up. If you have a dash camera without low battery protection, and you do not drive your vehicle regularly. As a result, there is a good chance you will kill your battery.

Dash cameras sold at Safe Drive Solutions all have low battery protection. We recommend setting this for 12 volts or higher to protect your battery. For this common question about dash cams, we provide an example below.

Once I had a client say the dash camera killed their battery. We found they had been leaving their interior light on. Lots of factors that can kill your vehicle battery. For example leaving an accessory plugged into your cigarette lighter all night.

However, getting a bad cell in your battery or leaving the interior light on all night is more common. These types of things happen but getting a dash cam with low battery protection power cable you should be fine. If you are still worried get a backup battery for your dash cam.

No car dealer can void your warranty on your vehicle. In fact, most car dealers sublet their aftermarket accessory work to specialty retailers. So why would it be okay for them to do it, but not okay for you.

Firstly, car dealers want to use their preferred vendors. Most of the time it is someone they trust. Secondly, it gives them a chance to add some profit to the sale of their car.

Some instances a car dealer can void your warranty. But let’s be clear, they cannot void the warranty on your entire car. For example, you go to a specialty shop and get aftermarket fog lights installed. Two weeks after installing you find your headlight switch no longer works.

Book in an appointment at your car dealer and they find the specialty shop wired in something wrong. Leaving you with a bill when you thought you had warranty. The car dealer replaces the headlight switch, and you have full warranty again.

If you get aftermarket work done. I recommend reaching out to that specialty shop before bringing it in to a mechanic, or car dealer. Mistakes can happen, fuses sometimes blow, after all we are human.

Most professional dash cam installation shops have technical information on your vehicle and will have limited challenges. Think twice before trusting the random guy on Kijiji, or Facebook marketplace that will do it for cash.

Several reasons why you might want to use a dash camera. Here are a few:

1. Car Accident: When involved in a car accident, a dash camera can provide video evidence. Therefore, the video footage can show who was at fault. Which can be useful when you need to file an insurance claim or go to court.
2. Insurance Fraud: Unfortunately, people stage accidents to file fraudulent insurance claims. A dash camera can help protect you from this type of fraud. Providing video evidence of what happened. Giving you peace of mind for your insurance company.
3. Improve driving: Dashcam recording can help you improve driving. Following traffic laws and driving more defensively. Meanwhile, a lot of parents will buy this for their teenagers car for this exact reason.
4. Capture memorable moments: Dash cameras enable capturing fun and interesting moments on the road. For example, you may capture a beautiful sunset or a rare sighting of a wild animal that you can share with others.
