Dashcam for the Emira

[GrahamClark_60-68]

On a tender it would be fine indefinitely.

As for the battery:
- The smallest external batteries are about 4.5 amps.
- Something like a Blackvue DR900X 2 channel uses ~ 400mA which would mean 11.25h of battery life.
- Many other cameras that cut fps down to 1-10 fps use sub 100mA which would mean ~ 2 days of recording.
- This would likely fit somewhere behind the plastic paneling in the rear compartment area behind the driver.
- Larger batteries also exist, some of the Blackvlue ones are 7.5 amps.


I've even seen some ridiculous claims from new dashcams like the Vueroid D21 which is claiming 2mA of draw in parking mode. At that point you really don't need a battery pack.

Thanks, now I know a lot more on this, thanks for this education. And considering the size of the aux batteries, and hence the need to pull trim (maybe a LOT of trim?) to install, I'd like to believe the ridiculous claims of the Vueroid D21. Seems like a great idea and sure would make things more simple from an installation perspective.

I have a Viofo A139 Pro sitting around that I was going to put in the 718S so I'll see how it'll look and fit. If I like it I'll just order a 2CH kit for the Emira

Ok the A139 Pro fits well on the passenger side and with the USB power port there, I can just stick it there and run a 6" USB-A to C cable. Should be a few minutes, Skipping the rear cam for now as the view are very restrictive out the rear...
