@DT MI and
@Dashmellow
I kinda suspected the later, but wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Lets see if he will supply link to such posts/requests for me to analyze and if not, then I will assume the later.
I think it is fair to say of all the smart cameras, none of then will be the very best for image quality.
Personally i would never go for a smart camera unless it was for a paramount feature, i would prefer a simple "dumb" camera with the best possible image quality.
Actually should i be forced in a way i cant even imagine to go for a smart camera, i wouldn't run that alone, which if of course easy for me to say already having a slew of cameras in my car.
I would prefer if someone made a dedicated guard camera for a car, maybe paried with alerm functions, and then have dashcams beside that to do that kind of work.
This is more for me about having the original best quality video at my finger tips and on my computer/device without having to manually fumble with the microSD card on the dashcam or remembering to manually download the video every night via connecting to the dashcam's WiFi via smartphone app.
If this can be done in a smartphone with a recorded video saved at original quality to Google/iCloud, or a Nest or Ring camera, why not a dashcam?
I wouldn't really call what I'm asking for to be a "smart" feature as I don't really care about the other cloud benefits(remote live view, GPS tracking, etc...)that BlackVue or Thinkware offers.
There are TV's that advertise their smartness. I don't care, nor do I use their smartness because I can connect an even smarter device(Chromecast, ShieldTV, Apple TV) via HDMI that is better and more capable than the smart feature that any TV ships with.
I already have a Google/Apple account. I don't care to create a separate Samsung, LG, Sony, OnePlus, BlackVue, Thinkware, Viofo, or Street Guardian account, nor use their cloud server or services.
