I just bought my husband a Blue Tiger Blackbox for Christmas and we are curious as to best placement for it. The Freightliner Cascadia has a center brace in the windshield which obscures partial view. Any help would be appreciated.
Where is the best place to mount a dashcam in a cascadia freightliner?

I have mine mounted almost all the way to the top of the windshield and just to the left of the center strip, just offset of center. Some will say "Well, what if it's raining?" Yeah, it's not in the range of the wiper, but honestly, it really doesn't have that much of a negligible effect. It also allows you to still move both driver and passenger visor with no obstruction.
Ran my wiring from a 12 volt, 3 outlet center, which is mounted on the right side of the cup holders, back to the left, underneath the trim, up the pillar trim to the top where the windshield meets the gasket and in front of the visors, back across to the right, connecting it to the unit. I've had it like that for over a year now with no problems.foxy wench Thanks this. -

I usually twisted the camera to the left a little. My main goal was to get in front and both fenders if possible in view.foxy wench Thanks this. -
Which camera do you have?

How do you relay the video to your company?

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]I have an older model that they do not carry anymore. Not sure what brand it is. Some made in china off brand I think, but it serves me well. I would like a night vision one as I drive a night almost exclusively. [/FONT]foxy wench Thanks this. -
Mine is set up to film in what's known as "loop Mode." No problems with this cam at all. I haven't posted any videos, but I did find one on youtube which is exactly the same cam I have.
