Hi all, I have a new LS360W to replace a budget Nextbase 101.
I do not hardwire my dashcams but use the power socket each trip. With the 101 the unit would power up and start recording straight away and the screen would go off after a minute. When powering off the unit would turn off.
But with the 360 every time I plug it in I get the language and date menus. I have to cycle past these to get to the main screen which then shows its recording. Shouldn't it simply go to the main screen and start recording?
The other problems are that the screen does not turn off. It stays on showing moving images which I believe is illegal in the UK as it's distracting. I have to cover it with the visor. And when I unplug it the cam carries on recording until the battery runs down.
Clearly none of this can be right so am I doing something wrong or do I have a faulty cam?
Thanks.
