Has someone here tested how long the original Mobius battery can last in the motion detection mode?
With motion detect after power off set to 15 seconds, I get an average of 3 hours total run time, but can't recall the average number of clips recorded as I lost my notes.Has someone here tested how long the original Mobius battery can last in the motion detection mode?
We tested many different sensitivity values for the Motion Detect settings and found the current settings to be the best. There will also always be a small variation of sensibility depending on what lens is used and component toleration, lighting etc.
Only motion is detected, not sound. Neither the developer nor us testers were ever really satisfied with the results. In fact, the developer didn't even want to release MD because it can't be adequately tweaked, but people wanted it all the same. It was even present in one of the very early beta-releases but was then removed from the official release because it didn't meet the standards the developer expected.
So, I'm afraid it's what it is. If it's useful to you, then it's there to use.
Is everyone in this thread dyslexic? "sensibility" is not the same thing as "sensitivity"
Questions:
Does Mobius have a park power mode? Like regular dashcams that feed off the battery when ignition is turned off.
How can it if it's fed through a USB?
Does it run in park mode only on battery?
Does it switch from MD to driving mode and start continuously recording when power is applied?
+1For what you pay for the Mobius, you will not find a substantially better cam for motion-detect operation. If you need better motion detect then you need a better cam which has pre-buffering. Expect to pay 1-1/2 times the price of Mobius or more to get that reliably in any dashcam.
Mobius has been developed about as far as it can go given it's current hardware. In this it has surpassed all other cams of it's age and price range. What it excels at is general reliability, small size, and value for cost. Plus all parts are user-replaceable and readily available; I know of no other cam which can make that claim. Even today it is still one heck of a good economy dashcam as long as you understand that like it's cohorts, M/D and G-sensor aren't what one might expect them to be. They do work, but not well, so best to just leave those "off" and use it as a pure dashcam for driving purposes only or as an action cam which is what it really is.
