Seamless Surveillance: Four-Channel Dash Cam Setup on a Chevy Silverado

Hey everyone, it's David from Twelve Volt Technologies, and today, we're thrilled to share with you a recent project we completed – a comprehensive dash camera installation in a 2018 Chevy Silverado. In this post, we'll walk you through the process and highlight the key features of this setup.


Dash cameras are becoming increasingly popular for enhancing vehicle security and providing peace of mind on the road. Our client approached us with a request to install a four-channel dash camera system from Thinkware in their Silverado, and we were excited to take on the challenge.

One of the essential aspects of a clean and professional installation is proper wiring. We meticulously ran the wiring for the rear dash camera inside the factory wiring channels, ensuring a seamless and tidy appearance. By utilizing the vehicle's existing wiring routes, we were able to keep the cables completely hidden from view.

The placement of the cameras is crucial for optimal coverage and functionality. We strategically mounted the front dash camera and routed the wiring discreetly inside the factory plastic trim to the rear of the vehicle, where we installed the rear camera. Careful attention was paid to ensure that the cameras were positioned for maximum visibility without obstructing the driver's view.

This Thinkware dash camera system offers advanced features, including a camera multiplexer that stitches together imagery from the two fender-mounted cameras and the rear camera. This innovative setup provides comprehensive coverage with minimal blind spots, similar to Tesla's Sentry Mode, offering our client unparalleled peace of mind.

Once the installation was complete, we conducted thorough testing to ensure that all cameras were functioning correctly and providing the desired coverage. We used the Thinkware mobile app to confirm the camera views and adjust any settings as needed, ensuring that our client was completely satisfied with the system's performance.

This dash camera installation exemplifies our commitment to providing high-quality, professional solutions for our clients' automotive needs. Whether you're looking to enhance security, capture memorable moments on the road, or upgrade your vehicle's technology, Twelve Volt Technologies has you covered.
