    GS1000(b) out of focus

    You can get the glued lens out by heating the lens with a heat gun. Its important not to use much force trying to unscrew or you'll break the lens mount or break off one of the resistors around the lens mount.

    GS2000 Help

    Is it a brand name memory card? No names are usually junk. Test the card with h2testw and see if it fails or passes.

    Orange menu worse than blue menu?

    I was able to loosen the lens from the mount. I tried nail polish remover, that didn't work. What worked was heating up the lens with a heat gun after removing the lens module from the camera, and loosening with pliers. The focus is fixed, so I'll won't go through the trouble of returning the...

    Orange menu worse than blue menu?

    The video gets very blurry after about 10 minutes recording: You can't see the blocky video artifacts because of youtube compression but it looks very soft. The sound is terribly garbled. Would e-prance take a return even though I opened this camera?

    Orange menu worse than blue menu?

    I took it apart but the lens is rock solid in the mount with some sort of epoxy. Even if it is a bit out of focus the problem is the video pixelation which is very blocky during motion. Very disappointed with this one.

    CUSTOM FEES TO THE USA

    I have purchased many items from around the world and have never paid any import or duty tax. Customs will only check if a package is restricted which electronics do not apply.

    fake? or not a fake that is the question

    Now that I found this site I can tell, as the rest of us here can, that a $40 camera is not going to be be the authentic model. These Chinese sellers are profiting on the ignorance of buyers unfortunately. And looking on ebay, the majority of these cameras are being falsely advertised.

    fake? or not a fake that is the question

    That menu looks just like the fake GS1000 I ordered first. This has the novatech chip and records in mjpeg. These are 720p cameras interpolated to 1080p at 25fps. The ebay seller says that it was the h264 model, but they're not (http://www.ebay.com/itm/200870719662?ss ... 1439.l2649). There are...

    Bank froze checking account after paying Aliexpress

    I ordered a second gs2000, this time from Aliexpress, seller e-prance. A couple days later I tried to use my debit card but each withdrawal was blocked. I went to my bank, they asked me about any out of country purchases and I explained the aliexpress purchase. My account had been locked since...

    Can't get GPS software to work

    Thanks for fixing the link. I tried that software, it still wouldn't work. I reinstalled a few things and played around with the display settings. Then I remembered that I set the theme to Windows basic, which I read is supposed to increase performance because it disables Aero. Anyways having it...

    Can't get GPS software to work

    I received the GS2000 a few days ago and haven't had luck getting the program that comes on the disk to run. Its the CARDVC2.exe software. It crashes instantly and gives a kernel error everytime I try to open it. Someone posted the gs8000 software on another post. That didn't work. I'm using...

    GS1000 / GS2000 / GS5000 Lens Replacement

    You were on the Keychain 808 16 camera forum. Why'd they shut down that down? That is a good low cost car dvr for $40. The latest firmware supports auto record and loop recording. But you would have to glue it to a suction mount for your windshield.

    The perfect dashcam?

    This is a copy from a few legal sites: Automobile Exception Because vehicles are obviously highly mobile, a warrant is not required to search vehicles if police have probable cause to believe the vehicle contains evidence of a crime, the instrumentalities of crime, contraband, or the fruits of...

    The perfect dashcam?

    If you get into an accident and the police are involved, they will probably be inspecting your car entirely if they believe the accident is your fault. Searching for alcohol bottles or drugs. They would most likely find any car recorder and confiscate it as evidence.
