Now I'm looking for a way to have the buttons accessible through the housing. The problem I'm seeing is that the buttons are on the same side as the chip which will become hot and would melt the housing. I am thinking with longer buttons from an old TV remote or something like that. |

I'm also thinking of the Mobius, but I'd like to have access to the recorder, memory card and controls, and the Mobius lens extension cable looks a little too short for what I have in mind. IIR the silver features that look like buttons on the Mobius are actually heat sinks. The other thing that I learned from reading so far is that no matter which camera is used, one needs to be sure to get the capacitor version! The batteries won't last in the heat of a car interior. I'm backed up a couple of car projects so I'm mostly in the planning phase plus its too cold to do anything right now! At the speed that these products are developing and the amazingly short lead time, there will probably be a vastly improved camera available before I begin to gather up the components.

Update
Added an LED indicator on the housing to blink when the camera is recording! Since the camera is enclosed, I had no idea if it was still running or if something happened. With this blinking indicator, I can easily see from inside and outside the car when my dashcam is recording! The indicator looks very much like the blinking led from an alarm system.
This was prompted when I checked up on the camera and realized it wasn't recording due to the battery overheating. I also connected the circuit board differently so that it makes contact with the metal rear view mirror arm and uses it as a heat sink. Last edited by Pawlin; 03-02-2015 at 05:35 PM.. |

I have the miniusb head ziptied to the arm of the mirror so it doesn't move. The circuit board simply plugs in with a bit of pressure to the arm which dubs as a heat sink. See the picture in my update post. |

Wow, i would like a DIY too!
I've been researching dash cams lately as well and they are all very non-discreet. I want something stealthy like this! Mainly for use when my car is parked in the garage. How is the motion sensor and usability for parking mode? Please put together a DIY! |
