OEM Camera's as Dash/ Security Camera System

[texas4ever]

After unfortunately totaling my 2017 Sierra 1500 Elevation I just purchased a 2020 1500 AT4 fully loaded with Technology package, driver alert II and premium package.

 

I got a novel idea that if it is possible to have a splitter for all of the OEM cameras (front grill, 2 driver side mirror, 2 passenger side mirror, bed camera, tailgate cameras etc) to possibly wire them into an SD/ hard-drive to make the OEM system it's own security system as well, sort of like Tesla Sentrt does.

 

Anyone explored this or have any thoughts?

It's a great idea. It should almost be standard that all of those cameras are used in dash cam and security as a standard feature.

My salesman was telling me the new CT6’s will have this feature from factory.

 

Such a waste.

I just saw this while researching dash cams. I wonder if it could ever be added to our 2020 infotainment ...

And you're right "such a waste". I have 8 cameras surrounding my truck in high quality, yet I have to buy an aftermarket camera to be able to record anything... [emoji3525]. Stupid.

What's everyone using for dash cams? I'm looking at thinkware Q800pro or u1000, but they are expensive

I have been thinking of a blackvue, waiting for whatever the next refresh is since I’m a video quality snob.

 

I just want to make YouTube videos of people who drive the wrong way down streets lol

I have a VAVA, used it in my 2017 and actually allowed me to collect almost 6k from a trucking companies insurance because a rock hauler didn't have the trailer dump door shut and spilt gravel all over my truck on the highway, no major complaints with it.

I went with the Thinkware F800 through GM Accessories. It's $500, and the dealer is charging another $520 for install.
