Recommended Dash Cam Accessories

A dash cam can do so much, but using it with the right accessories can bring security and convenience to the next level.  

At BlackboxMyCar, we provide our customers with a wide range of cables, filters, battery packs, and more accessories to ensure that your dash cam works at its best.

Accessories For Installation

Hardwiring Cables & Kits

One of the non-negotiable features of our dash cams is Parking Mode. To enable this, the highly recommended method is to hardwire it to your car’s fuse box. With programmable cut off times and voltage monitoring, you can forget about the hassle of charging your dash cam manually and have it auto start when you turn on your car.

Depending on the dash cam that you choose, there are several different kinds of hardwiring kits that you can use. Our Dash Cam Installation Guide teaches users how to properly install a dash cam into your vehicle.

Mounts & Tapes

Our mounts and tapes are designed not to add bulkiness or length to the dash cam when installed. With these, you can be confident that your dash cam will not dangle distractingly on the windscreen.

Additionally, the purpose of mounts and tapes extends beyond simply attaching the camera to the windscreen. When it comes to secure dash cam positioning, reliability is critical, especially under high temperatures and hard impact. Our mounts and tapes are designed to endure extreme heat and pressure, eliminating the danger of the dash cam becoming dislodged.

Accessories for Parking Mode and Security

Dash Cam Battery Packs

When your car is parked in your laneway or in a parking lot, your dash cam turns off with it. Dash cam battery packs are exactly what they sound like - power supplies made specifically for dash cams.

Especially for dash cams with rear cameras, it's very important that you have a power supply that can sustain the battery draw that your dash cam will have on your vehicle battery. These battery packs are the perfect solution for those who want to maximize their protection, extending their parking-mode recording to your memory card significantly and eliminating all wear-and-tear on the vehicle’s own battery.

BlackVue Tamper-Proof Case

A tamper-proof case is an anti-tampering device that prevents the microSD card from being taken out of the dash cam as well as the power cable from being unplugged from the dash cam.

This may not be most customers, but it can be hugely important for owners of fleet vehicles who want to monitor their drivers. By using a tamper-proof case, the dash cam remains powered on to record footage and video files cannot be deleted.

Accessories for Video Quality

CPL Filter

A CPL (circular polarizing lens) filter is a mini lens that you can put over your existing dash cam lens to reduce glare and reflection, which in turn improves video quality.

Vehicles with dashboards that have shiny or light-colored plastic in the front or rear view can suffer from the most reflections. This can be distracting, and makes details like license plates and the vehicle models harder to pick up. Solution? CPL filter.

Rain and Weather Guard

When it rains, it pours – and it makes your dash cam footage less visible. Adding a rain and weather guard to your dash camera lens, or even on top of your CPL filter keeps your videos free from environmental elements such as rain, dust, and even glares.

Accessories for File Storage

Micro SD cards

To store recorded footage, most dash cams require a memory card, usually an SD (Secure Digital) or microSD card.

Without a memory card, the camera would have nowhere to save the recordings, therefore rendering the device unusable. Dash cam memory cards are overwritten frequently, so a larger memory capacity reduces the number of write cycles and extends the life of the card.

The higher the resolution of the unit, the more space the footage will generally take up on the card. Ensure to get larger SD card with higher resolution cameras so that there can be a sufficient footage history.

We recommend purchasing SD cards with BlackboxMyCar, as we thoroughly test our cards for compatibility with our models, and provide a 1-year warranty on them, while other warranties are normally invalidated by usage with a dash cam.
