Hi All,
I'm looking for a dual cam setup for front and rear views. I currently have the multi-channel F70 (http://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threads/i1000-f70-x6-720p-dual-lens-dvr-dash-camera.21/) in my car, but it is too problematic. So I'm thinking of switching to two separate Mobius cams for front and back.
I have a few questions regarding this setup:
If any one has any better solutions for a dual cam setup, please share. I'm looking for a solution that is more reliable than the buggy F70 cam that I have now.
Thanks!
I'm looking for a dual cam setup for front and rear views. I currently have the multi-channel F70 (http://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threads/i1000-f70-x6-720p-dual-lens-dvr-dash-camera.21/) in my car, but it is too problematic. So I'm thinking of switching to two separate Mobius cams for front and back.
I have a few questions regarding this setup:
- In my current setup with the F70, it starts recording as soon as it receives power and stops recording and powers off soon after it loses power. Does a Mobius support this functionality?
- My car doesn't cut power to the cigarette lighter when ignition is off. To make it slightly quicker than unplugging the charger, I use a USB cable with a built in switch (http://www.dx.com/p/usb-to-micro-us...let-cellphone-black-120cm-280533#.Uzgm_HVDuY4). With a dual Mobius setup I envision adding a splitter at the other end to power both cams and so that I can turn them both off simultaneously. Can you guys see any problems with this setup?
- My cigarette lighter-to-USB charger has a 2A slot so I'm hoping I can hardwire both cams to the same slot. See any problems with this?
- Is running a long micro-USB cable from the front to the back okay? What is the typical setup for powering a Mobius cam at the rear?
- Both cams will only be receiving power when they are recording. In your experience, is this enough to keep the internal battery charged?
If any one has any better solutions for a dual cam setup, please share. I'm looking for a solution that is more reliable than the buggy F70 cam that I have now.
Thanks!
