Not Kona Specific I suppose, but just thought I would document the Dashcam I have just fitted.
Up till now I have used a Twin camera system with a 1080p camera on the windscreen and a 720p on the rearscreen with the wire run down inside the car, and the power to supply them from a wire run down the side pillar to the 12v socket in the centre console.
I have now replaced this setup with a single 360 Degree camera, and have hardwired the power to the overhead console (The Red and Black Wires to the Overhead Lights), These are always live, and when in sleep mode the Dashcam records one image a second providing parked protection
Its not as high up as I would have liked so has a lot of dashboard in the forward facing images, but in practice this does not detract and everything relevent can be clearly seen, but this positioning allows clear view out of the side and rear windows giving good all round view.

I was advised this type of recording is better as its shows clearly what was happening at the sides as well as the actions of the driver at the time, so easier to discount was not looking or did not indicate claims.
Has Multiple viewing options including one in full VR where you can put on a VR headset and view it as though you are in the car.
But Personally I prefer this 2 Screen Full Front and Full Cabin/Rear View

There are 3 Camera View (Which is good for front and showing Drivers use of controls)
![130779]()
And 4 Camera View Which I may try and use a bit more

But all in all a neat single camera unit that covers the entire external and internals and easily wired into the overhead console lights for power
Price £120 at Costco.
