Lol I see what it is now!
Glad you like the SG. Spread the good word!
Rattles? Mine doesn't pick any up. You sure you have it mounted securely?
Did you get a hardwire kit that cuts power at that voltage level? I might look into available power full time for my camera also. But if I did, I would upgrade to a motion sensing one probably

Turns out it's just my super loud interior rattles hahahah. I guess that's something I'll just have to deal with.
Yup I bought that $30 hard wire kit that cuts power at 11.6V. If your battery is healthy enough it should easily last through the night. I also picked up a 64GB memory card just so I can get even more footage down.

So my SG9665GC took a dump todayAudio is all messed up but video is fine. I posted about it on DashCamTalk at like midnight and within 20 minutes they're already sending me a prepaid label for a replacement unit.
I mean talk about amazing customer service?!
Interesting. But yes they're known to stand by their products. Worth spending a few extra over dealing with a vendor overseas

I'm going to install my SG today. The very rudimentary instructions they sent with the unit say to disconnect the battery for install. But I plan on using a fuse that is not "on" when the car is off (not planning on using the motion sensor or always on option). Also, when I installed the electrical portion of my boost gauge I didn't disconnect the battery. So, is the battery disconnect really necessary? I know it isnt a huge PIA or anything, but I'm trying to eliminate unnecessary steps.
Should be fine without doing that as I have many times and been fine. They probably include that to cover themselves in case something goes wrong and someone somehow electrocutes themselves.

Discovered this guy the other day - considering upgrading from a RoadHawk HD since the "brains" can be located remotely, and it can be used as a sort of backup camera. WOuld probably hide the central unit in the dash cubby under my light switch.

That looks pretty neat. If you get it please let us know how you hook it up & how you like it.
Thanks

Ok one more question before I get to this install...I ordered the street guardian unit along with the 12v to 5v converter kit for direct install in the fusebox. I also ordered the Add-a-Fuse kit. My question is...the converter kit has two wires, one black (ground I assume) and one red (power) that need to be connected to the Add-A-Fuse. But, the fuse kit only has one crimp connector. I'm fairly certain that I don't put both red and black wiires from the converter into the crimp connector. There were no instructions with the 12v to 5v cvonverter, so I'm not sure how to actually connect this to the fuse kit. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The black ground wire goes to a ground, not the fuse. The red wire goes to the fuse.
