Dash cam for the Land Rover

Hey, I got a tip from a vlogger, Seth's bike hacks, about a good dash cam, the Anker ROAV. I already have one of their power packs and really like it so it was a no brainer to get the cam on. Amazon for $90. https://www.amazon.com/Dashboard-Recorder-Wide-Angle-G-Sensor-Recording/dp/B06XNSDRW8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1506196675&sr=8-1&keywords=roav+dash+cam

It came the other day and it took me awhile to figure out where and how I wanted to mount it. That and I still have to get a micro SD card for it.

After sitting in the drivers seat and holding it up in different places and weighing the pro's and con's such as ease of visibility and access for the card, wiring and removal and not blocking the visibility out the windscreen in critical locations.

What I came up with was a clip on over the roof inside gutter and allowing the cam to hang just below the windscreen frame enough to not block the cam's view with either the frame or the rearview mirror. I also took advantage of the existing holes for the sun visor I don't have. This will keep it from bouncing off and getting crazy from the vibrations. (I hope!)

I made a prototype out of aluminum cause it's easy to work with then I made one out of some scrap stainless I had laying about.

Here it is hangin up in place. I found #6 sheet metal screws fit right in.

Then it was a matter of mounting the cam,

Running the power;

Pluggin it in; making the wire so it won't vibrate too much;

I tied the excess wire and stashed it in the gutter;

Lastly, power it up!

So it is not permanently  mounted and if it is too cumbersome I can move/remove it.
