I have the Zetronix. It has worked well for me. I would find it hard to drive without a dash cam anymore. There are a lot of crazy drivers on the road. I also had a problem with a service advisor at a dealership that it captured and had audio. Played it back to the service manager. It was not a Chevy dealer.

Just finished installing 2 goluk t1 dash cams in my 2 week old. Shark grey 16 z51. The front camera was placed by the rear view mirror. I Considered using the pdr location for the front facing camera as shown here on corvette forum but after pulling off the pdr cover I was uncomfortable with messing with the bracket that holds it in place. The rear ward camera is at the top of the back glass. I am getting amazing videos and the parking mode seems to work well. Wifi cameras with auto rotate I can view on my iPhone ... Goluk silly name but amazing product. Hardwired from behind the rear power port with a switch by the drivers emergency door release. Didn't take that long if you get over the fact that you are messing with the panels and electrical on your new 70k car.
Considered the blackvue cloud dr650gw but wanted auto rotate and wanted 1080p for both the front and back cameras.

Best deal for the price...under $35.00.....has a "loop" recording feature that records 10 minute intervals then loops again. I use a 16GB Micro SD card that gets about (20) 10 minutes recordings before it starts to loop over the 1st recording.
Model is Old Shark® 1080P Car DVR GS8000L Pro Mini Dash Camera Recorder Night Vision bought from eBay. You don't need anything fancy for a dashcam.
Here's my Youtube video of my dashcam inside my 2015 Corvette C7. Image quality is excellent.
The dashcam also has audio recording. Music on the video is from the C7 USB thumb drive I have in the C7 behind the screen.

A118 camera w/GPS module, just below OEM PDR location.
Can't be seen from Driver's set since it is in front of
rear view mirror.
In this test the first 18 wheeler almost takes out the SUV in the left lane.

For my road trip back from the NCM on March 5, I just purchased this dual car camera off Amazon for $70
Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Sensor-Video-C...owViewpoints=1
Figure can't go wrong for that amount , and video quality is really goof at 720p ..
If holds up, I will have the power permanently hooked in vs power adapter

Strange my prior post has disappeared, any way just hard wired 2 Goluk Wifi 1080p cameras. I took the power from behind the rear power outlet, after fighting with accessing the rear fuse box my add a fuse wouldnt fit in the slot for fuse 22, where the fuse for the rear outlet is, so just took the wiring off of the back of the outlet itself. There was a fuse for the theft deterent system psm, fuse 25, where my add a fuse would fit but didnt want to mess with that for one never knows what would happen. All wires hidden perfectly with a switch by the emergency release for the drivers door. I wanted to mount this camera in the PDR location as shown by someone on corvette forum. Chose the Goluk over the Blackvue as this camera auto rotates so no upside down recording when mounted in the pdr location. Problem though after pulling down the pdr cover I wasnt comfortable working on the bracket that holds the cover in place . If someone has more info on the work involed in removing that bracket it would be greatly appreciated. didnt go with accessory power on fuse 37 as i got cameras more for parking mmode than for driving. I will post some pics of my install soon.

I put my Street Guardian in the exact same location and it came loose when I left the car parked outside in hot weather. It appears that the double-stick tape has problems adhering to the plastic surface. Any problems with yours?
