Anyone used a motorbike dash cam on their car? I like the idea of having a hidden front and rear camera and think these cameras could be easily modified to suit a car by keeping the lenses externally mounted somewhere inconspicuous on the front and rear bumpers, powered by an appropriate source from the fuse box and then the controller mounted under the bonnet somewhere. I suspect the only modification will be extending one of the camera cables? Pretty sure I’m going to have a go at this myself but just wondered if anybody else has done/tried it?

There's a few small dashcams available now if you don't mind them inside the car, the first one I had was a Koonlung K1s, which had small front/rear cameras and a separate recorder/display unit, can't recommend it unfortunately, as mine was faulty and the retailer was a pita which soured me on a replacement.

Could always get 2x 0801 style ones, or a Garmin Mini? a bit of good wire tucking and they're pretty inconspicuous.
