Can this dash cam be easily moved from vehicle to vehicle OR is it permanently installed?

Moving the camera is very simple with the suction cup mount. I like to position the camera to the far left of the windscreen at eye level. This is the least visually obstructive location for me. The cord is long enough to route over the visors and then down to an electrical outlet.

I don't think you'd want to move the camera from car to car on a regular basis because you want to hide the cable a little bit which takes a little time. If you don't mind the cable dangling from the cam to your power plug than it's easy to take in and out.

It is easily moved. I am still trying to get it to work continuously...it goes of on its own sometimes. Good quality picture..

It will install to any vehicle. Unscrew the rear brake light cover, locate the two wires going to into the back-up lamp and splice in the positive and negative power wires from the camera's transmitter. Easiest place to install the camera is on back bumper with the license plate.

You can mount it anywhere you want, You will need a path to run the wiring from the monitor to the camera. Power needs to be provided under the dash or under the hood. The power is provided to camera through the cabling coming from the monitor.

Not sure since I sent it back. I remember it was also very flimsy even before it quit working. Not sure they will let me post a link, but after reading this article I was better informed(http://dashcamtalk.com/category/dashcamreviews/). I ended purchasing from another vendor. Would have used Amazon if they had the model I was looking for. If Amazon deletes the link, just search google "dash camera reviews".

I've been using this dash cam for awhile, didn't notice any problems. mine stays cool while changing from power socket.

It does not move mechanically and there is no motion sensor or feature that "trips" anything. The light blinks consistently. You can manually adjust the camera in multiple directions but once you have adjusted the camera it is fixed in that position.

Yes, I can easily switch from one vehicle to another. Handy gadget. Really like the size. Much better than trying to navigate with my phone.

If the camera was installed as a factory option, any dealer for that manufacturer can relocate the camera. If the camera is an after market add-on, it can be relocated. A minimal number of tools will be required. New mounting holes will probably have to be drilled. Also, if the camera is a hard wired model, the video coax cable and/or 12 VDC wiring may have to be extended.

No, the RCA cable that connects the camera to the screen on your dash is not that long, but you could buy a 6ft RCA cable at Radio Shack that would take care of that. The electrical cables aren't going to be a problem.

No you program the vehicle and then remove it...when you no longer want it you plug it back in remove the program and and then disconnect it...Nothing gets permanently mounted.....

The unit has to be permanently installed into the vehicle to bypass the security key.

Yes, that is a big problem with this dash cam.I am changing this cam out and replacing it with a Blackvue model. I have a Blackvue in another truck and it's very easy to use and set up.

It comes with double sided tape, but I don't think that will be a good long term solution I used that to test the location I wanted to go with. I have it mounted above the license plate on a truck bumper I used screws on some plastic trim that was above the license plate holder on the bumper. You could get a license plate frame and mount the camera to that to avoid any vehicle modification. You will have to run the wiring back into the interior of the vehicle but I was able to find and use and existing wiring pas through.

I am not sure what kind of dash you have so I would not take my advice on it. It is a great purchase though, if I were you I would get the back up camera that you can hook up to it.

It can be installed quickly, just run the seatbelt through the pathway, but it is very heavy and awkward to move in and out. So, depending on how often you will be doing it, you may want an alternate, if you can afford it.

Maybe by rotating camera? The Unit is in my parents vehicle. I haven't played with it since install

I think it's too big to replace the radio. It comes with a very versatile mount. It can be stuck onto your dash or hung down from the ceiling. It could also be mounted with screws to the front of a dash so as not to block your view of the road. I installed mine in a tractor trailer, so I had plenty of dash board room. This is an excellent camera system, but it may be a little large for a car installation.
