Exactly the same location in my Figo which gives a good wide angle video (better than front).

In my case, it is also the place cleaned by rear wiper. An inch above would have disastrous especially in monsoon.

Re: The Dashcam / Car Video Recorder (DVR) Thread

While considering a Dashcam, especially the more expensive ones, how relevant is the risk of theft of the Dashcam..? Considering that a Dashcam is very easily visible inside the car, won't it be an obvious attraction for car break-ins? Suppose one doesn't wish to have monitored parking, can the Dashcam be pulled out and stowed away out of sight?

Re: The Dashcam / Car Video Recorder (DVR) Thread

I just bought a dual channel dash cam (70mai) for my Honda City 5th Gen. After watching online tutorials on YouTube about fixing it in the car, I am not sure I will be able to manage the wiring. Can anyone recommend a place in Coimbatore where I can get this installed? Many thanks for the help.

The risk of theft for the sake of stealing the dashcam alone, I think is minimal. Any briefcase or shopping bags visible from outside may offer a greater attraction to the thief.
To answer your other question, most dashcams can easily be disconnected from their plugs and windshield mounts and stowed away. This to some, may be a tiresome chore though!

In so many years of driving, I've never had my dashcam stolen! But then it all depends on our luck, I suppose.
