Can i connect 4 pin to 5 pin backup dashcam camera?

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to replace the rear camera on my mirror-style dashcam. The original camera uses a 5-pin connector, but I can’t find a good replacement with the same connector.
I have found several better-quality 4-pin cameras and I’m wondering if one of them could be adapted to the 5-pin input.
I have the pinout information for both cameras. The main difference I’ve noticed so far is that the 4-pin camera appears to use a 3.3V supply, while the original 5-pin camera uses 5V.
If the video signal and ground are compatible, could I simply rewire the connector and provide the correct voltage for the 4-pin camera? Or are these rear-camera interfaces usually dependent on a specific video format, signaling standard, or communication protocol?
I’d appreciate any advice from someone familiar with dashcam rear-camera interfaces or camera pinouts.
Thanks!

Need a camera to record car dashboard when driving

2 Upvotes

Car is stalling randomly with lots of warning lights on the dashboard. Need the video evidence for dealer service and possibly lemon law arbitration. Any recommendations. I'm thinking maybe a small action cam mounted somewhere around the rear seat , but if there is a more traditional dashcam that could capture images from the dashboard, that would be preferable.

Random Scrape after getting car detailed - Need 360 Cam!

Post image
3 Upvotes

I literally got my car detailed YESTERDAY and I only went to three places; my parking lot after I collected the car, my church today, then walmart today.

I walked past my car from behind twice and never noticed this at my parking lot or church (knowing that I showed someone the car after and was talking about some spots that I felt could have been done better).

Yet after stopping at Walmart and B&BW (same parking lot), that’s when I noticed the scrape. The detailers photo and video also doesn’t show this on there.

Now I have to get a camera that watches my car 24/7. And I’m going to ask Walmart for the video as well 🙄 This is what CGPT suggested:

  1. Vantrue E360 Plus
  2. BlackboxMyCar PowerCell 5
  3. Vantrue E360-compatible 3-wire ACC hardwire kit
  4. High-endurance microSD card of the appropriate capacity

I’m not mad but annoyed because I JUST got this detailed to start “girlying” up my car since this is my first car since I started driving this year and now this ugly scratch.

Does the suggestion CGPT gave, sensible? The powercell is so it’s not dependent on the battery after shut off.

Edit: Car is a 2012 Toyota Rav4 Limited

How much hood do you prefer to have visible?

3 Upvotes

Curious what people here prefer for the front dashcam angle. I see a lot of accident videos here with very different camera angles. Do you keep a bit of the hood visible, or aim it higher so there’s little to none?

I’m using a Viofo A229 Pro and trying to find the best position. Mainly wondering what has worked best for others in real use.

Sorry if this is a basic question, I’m pretty new to dashcams.

Stupidity seen last night

I did zoom into my video for a better picture. So this person turns right into oncoming traffic and almost collides head-on with the car in front of me and then cuts off the cars as they get into their lane. I see that they are trying to make a left turn so I flash them to go because I did not want to be near them after seeing that chaos. They even screw that up and try to turn into a one way road and then proceed to almost reverse into several cars. What even ?
