Sometimes the hassle is disconnecting the power whist still trying to
keep the power lead neat and hidden inside the roof lining etc.

After a while the new toy is less of a novelty and more of an annoyance
if being removed every time you get out of the car. I guess that most
people with a after market dash cam leave it there 24/365.


Except for an MOT. If it's anywhere in your field of view, it's a fail.


The first time my car had an MOT the garage phoned to say it would fail
if they didn't remove the dashcam, so I told them to take it off. The
daftest thing about this is that it is completely hidden by the sun
visor! So if that's down it blocks far more than the dashcam does. Add
to that the car's central camera/sensor console, which blocks even more
from your field of view through the windscreen, and it all makes even
less sense.


Mount it where the tax disc used to go. ;-)
