iPhone 5 with CarCorder app and $24 DVR-047-like from Amazon

Captured some dashcam footage from the $24 DVR and the iPhone5. While the dash cam is amazing for $24, I would rather just have the $70 HD one. The problem with the $24 one is not that it is 640x480 so much as it generally lacks sharpness, which I blame on the lens. The jury on if it is wide-angle enough is still out.

Since YouTube re-compresses, here is original footage:

Mount I use for the iPhone (I had it on the dash, not window):

When my wife gets back with the car I will try some footage with the iSymDVR app.

BTW, the HD iPhone-5 footage seems to be hunting on the focus. I focus-locked it for the 640x480.

Thanks for sharing the photos and vids. The Amazon DVR-047 is the typical SD camera quality. The Iphone looks pretty good during the day but a bit wavy. Not sure if it is the mount or the camera.

I have your recommended $70 027 on order, as well as an earlier order I placed from another seller of a $60 027.

The mount on the 047-like device seems good. I still can't believe it works as well as it does for the price. That being said, I like having a dash-cam enough that I will get some better ones.

Hi rsilvers,

Looking forward to your feedback on those cams.
