Has anyone installed in their Clarity the "Vantrue N4 Three Channel Front, Inside and Rear Dash Cam" or similar? I really like to add the ability to monitor the car while parked as well as crash capture. Since this has to be fully wired, how much trouble is it to route and hide power and video cables from/to wind shield and the rear window?

Thanks in advance.

It’s not hard at all to install. Out of curiosity why would you need to monitor the inside?

For Uber/Lyft passenger monitoring.

It'a a 3 camera kit. The inside is just a way to view the surroundings (outside the windows).

Gotcha. You're aware, I presume, that the Vantrue drops both resolution and fps when using all 3 cameras.

I was not. I'm surprised since most reviews are positive.

BTW: my main question was less about the camera model and more about how difficult it would be to hide the wires to the windshield and run wires to the rear window.

Lol, that’s why I mentioned it was easy. My tint is too dark to clearly see the rear, but here’s a shot of mine.

That's the front windshield. The camera is directly below the dappled black area. It's a "Blackview Cloud 4K UHD"

Ok,thanks. I looked-up the model; just what I was looking for. Where did you tap-in to power for the front? Did you install the rear camera? If yes, did you run the wire from the roof headliner or floor?

You'll have to wait for Boston_Pilot to respond. I had a Cobra unit installed, by an authorized dealer. I have no idea how they routed wires, just that I don't see any.

In my Bolt, I was able to tuck the wires under the edge of the headliner, and route them down to a fuse panel under the dash on the driver's side. I suspect something similar can be done in the Clarity.
