    I bought this one because of all the reviews I watched, this one always came out on top. The real challenge was mounting the rear camera because we have a rear window that retracts. I had a guy custom cut me a few plastic pieces to mount the rear camera to one of the plastic retainers on the ceiling in the back. They came out pretty good. It was a real clean install. I haven't wired the back camera yet, but I did test them together, and they work perfectly. The clarity is incredible for a dash camera. It was a bit pricey, but well worth it. I hope I never have to use the footage.

    Hey there,

    Really like that 3d printed solution. Any chance you or your friend has the 3d file for that mount?

    Does anyone know if there's a front/rear dash cam that has a suction cup for the rear? I think it would be a good idea to just stick it on one of the side rear windows and call at a day.
