Thanks. My knowledge is poor in electronics. So your opinions, advices teach me
Registrator Viewer works well with the 205 files.Hi Guys,
I am new to this forum, in fact I am new to using dash cams. I purchased one about 2 weeks ago and had some initial issues with it and now, according to the seller, I have the latest firmware that they sent me.
I have the DAB 205. The firmware allows the change between km/h and mph. The firmware version that the camera displays is ZX-AMF-G-2560Y. I also have the DT-AMF-G-2326L but it shows a company name 'Dome Travel', a logo and some Chinese text, all above the date. That was initially the update firmware they sent me but I told them that I do not want this extra stuff occupy screen space and that is when they sent me the 2560Y version.
If anyone want either version I will upload it somewhere and will make it available.
By the way, does anyone know if there is a compatible player that can actually track the trip as well from the DAB205 mp4 files? The one that comes with the camera is appalling. It is called the 'Car DV Player' and it is version 1.119. The video does not keep the aspect ratio, if window is resized, and the graphical speedo shows incorrect speed in the right hand bottom corner. Not that it matters but if it is there then I expect it to work as it should. I tried various players, free and commercial, but I could not get any of them to work with the DAB205 mp4 files. One least played the recordings but the gps tracking did not work.
Cheers,
Andrew
Yes, I have a CPL "kit" for the DAB205.I just tried Registrator Viewer again and now it worked. I tried it before and did not work but those files were created with the previous firmware. With the latest 2560Y version firmware it works.
Are you the one who sells those filters? I have this dash reflections in the recordings when the sun is at certain angles.
Yes, it can help quite a bit. Send me a PM with your address and I'll get a shipping quote.Does it help with filtering out dash board top reflections from the windshield in the recordings? What is the postage to AU, many times that kills the purchase.
There is one firmware version after the one that is installed on your camera now that I am aware of, but the only difference is that the up/down buttons work faster/better in playback mode. There won't be any other benefits over the one your running now.I have received my set with CPL kit from CaptureYour Action. It is in working condition. Thanks to CaptureYourAction for testing the set for me before shipping. I had a bad experience from buying from ebay, which is a faulty set. Currently doing a few tests for this unit. I was wondering what is the latest firmware now? I found that parking mode can be activated by just switch on motion detection mode without activate the actual parking mode. This helps to save external battery as it will stop recording after around 10 seconds when there is no motion. Its seem that i could not get any event file saved even though i have set G sensor to the highest. I have done my trial run on parking for 12 hours. Its feel hotter than my other car camera, but it is still running fine. Next round, i will have it running for 24 hours.
So if you never turn motion detection off, doesn't the camera automatically stop recording after you have parked and it has not sensed motion for a period of time? As I've said before, I don't use parking mode, but in my limited testing on the DAB202 (same firmware) I was under the impression that if you left motion detection on it would automatically turn off recording (or enter parking mode) after a certain time with no motion. I didn't think you had to manually stop the recording, by pressing OK, to enter parking mode with motion detection. This is not what you have experienced?I have completed my testing. Below is my findings which I hope is useful.
3) As I am using external battery to operate parking mode with motion detection, I need to switch Off and On again the camera before starting to drive. This will enable the camera to switch to normal driving recording (do not have to switch off motion detection in the menu). After parking, press Ok button to stop the normal recording, by doing this, motion detection is now activated.
Yes, but with motion detection on, I would assume you would not need to press the OK button to stop regular recording. I would think it would stop recording on its own, as long as there is no motion being detected. I'll test it on my DAB202.When I switch off the engine, the camera continue operating as i'm running on external battery. As a result, when I pressed OK button, it will stop recording for normal recording after I have off the engine. Once there is motion, it will start recording again for 12 seconds.
