Literally Build Your Dream. Well done Paul. Not easy to navigate around a recalcitrant plastic housing while taking a video. Looks like the two lugs on either side of the camera still need to be fully housed into the locating holes

Next time you want to pop round Greg, I’ll hold the camera while you do a proper job 😉

I have half a mind to just break that cover you struggled with and then designing and 3D printing one that just looks better. Such an ugly, unshapely piece of plastic in an otherwise beautiful interior! Oh, and thanks for documenting the process of installing the camera, it'll come in handy when I get my own Seal!

This was really useful to know as not aware the camera was removed (local dealer here in U.K not aware either!) Subsequently purchased camera from Ali Express before my car arrives in March

Hi Paul, Thanks for doing such a great video on how to install the dash cam, i did mange to install the dash cam over the weekend.

Thank you so much, easy fit after watching that from Ireland!

I believe in Europe the camera isn't supplied due to GDPR regulations. I have seen a similar video of a lad in the UK install one on the Atto 3. It seemed like the Atto didn't have the cable already routed from the factory which he had to route himself. Delighted to see the seal has all that in place.

There is no restriction for dashcams in general in the EU so I don’t think that GDPR is the reason. Without knowing the exact reason, I suspect that it is more to do with trade restrictions between the EU and China.

This is awesome. Im installing mine today. Also wondering why it wasn't shipped with the car.

The story I got from my local BYD team in Brisbane is that the dash cam was not installed after complaints about privacy in Europe.

I ordered that camera and installed it , inserted the 64GByte micro-sd card that came with it but after restarting car, it still did NOT show the camera. But after a reset (as per your video clip) the camera worked fine. (My Seal is already updated to Version 1.1 a couple of days ago.)

Today I just saw the post that show new item for BYD Seal . The cabin camera. Quite interesting. ( Chinese version they have.)

I am impressed by the work you put into your videos and the informations. Was just in contact with a german BYD dealer asking if the car had a dash cam or a function like sentry mode to use and they denied both. Then i had the chance to talk with another BYD sales/spokes person. She said she is in direct contact with the BYD Group. Can not remember the exact name how they call themself in EU. And she denied it as well. So not only in Thailand they does not have this camera. Now i wonder if u can selection different kind of quality options and if you can let the car record in some sort of parking mode or sentry mode?

@EcoHouseThailand

I think the BYD camera is pretty basic really. I plan to supplement it with a after market multi camera system with sentry mode.

Hi, thank you for your time which is so valuable to prospective Seal owners, delivery due in January 2024. You mentioned that the lens was slightly off-centre with your first attempt. Could you describe the correct orientation of the camera please? That is, the cable connector (or other item) should be closer to the left and right when you are facing forward.

@EcoHouseThailand

8 ай бұрын

The lens is not centered, so to orientate the camera correctly the lens must be clearly visible in the hole in housing. I originally had the camera upside down and only half the lens was visible through the hole and video would be half obscured by the plastic housing. If you need any more clarification, I will need to remove housing and check

SD has to be purchased separately. Can’t remember what the maximum capacity is - been a while since I purchased it.

Saludos al canal Magnífico video y muy interesante.Pedi la cámara para mí nuevo seal me parece una compra magnífica.Pregunto si la tarjeta SD la trae la cámara o se compra a parte? Y otra pregunta 64 GB es la capacidad máxima o se puede instalar de más capacidad ( Cual es la máxima capacidad que admite)

Sorry I don’t have the box anymore and my order didn’t quote a part number, just that it was the camera for Atto 3 and the Seal. You could search on AliExpress for dashcameras for those models. I did talk to Tom from ludicrous feed and he has bought one in Australia, maybe he will have a video on it soon.

i wonder why it wasn't included. Doesn't seem that hard to unclip those bits and have it half on while installing. Did it all click back in easy enough, also can you show where you bought it from?

You have shadows in the picture from the dashcam. The camera needs to be fully inserted, so the shadows disappears.
