Dash Cam

Well if you dont own the truck and your a company driver, I recommend that you take the truck to their shop and ask them to put it in.

Otherwise have the cam be at the top of the window that you look out. If you have the option of multiple cams. Then I would put another cam behind your head so police can see what you were doing at the time of what ever incident. A cam looking down the right side and one for the left side. The display needs to be mounted where you cant see it while driving down the road. Dont want to get you distracted from the job.

 

We have our dash cam on the passenger side (split window) 6-8 inches from the bottom, dead center of the glass. Its a matter of preference.

 

There ya go.
Which one do you have?
We have Zetronix with built-in GPS. I won it in a contest, would of cost $300.

 

As close to the center of the top of the windshield as possible, and angled down enough to catch the end of your hood, fender mirrors, etc, but not mostly show an expanse of hood.

 

Mine is on the right Windshield (2 pc windshield Cascadia) on top left corner as far to the left as possible still wiper swept area.


There may be an issue with the suction cup mounts (on Windshield) instead.

most are wideangle and or fisheye. so doesnt matter where you put it itll cover the whole front end. but i would put it withn reach if something happens i can push the save button.

 

You should know with the GPS option they can determine your speed at the time of the incident...

If your truck does not already have event recorders.

Most of the dash cams run on 5 minute blocks. Each one is auto saved until the media card is full then they overwrite each block, oldest to newest. At least, that's what ours does. No fish-eye. Wide angle. And yes, GPS covers direction, speed, g-shock and longitude and latitude at time of impact.
