Re: Any info on this cam: HD 1080P Dual Lens Car Camera DVR
Ok, some 1st feedback on this camera :
- even though the box explicitly states 1080P FUll HD I fear that jokiin is (of course) right: 720P. That is, upon examination of the files it says 1280*720.
- rear cam is indeed VGA, is good enough for me.
- the manual is very poor. The first half is written in Chinese and so is the last half. Miraculously however, they succeeded in inserting 5 pages of English
Anyone here mastering Chinese?
- pictures in the manual show a different dashcam (X3000?) Is this existing technology in a new housing?
- file sizes are way too short, just 20-30 seconds, anyone any suggestions? This is really annoying. I already changed RT to 5 min, 10 min and 15 min, nothing happens....)
- about 50% of the files are being protected, very strange, I disabled all automatic recording and set sensitivity of the G sensor to lowest but the cam still thinks I m in a constant carcrash
- protected files are stored in a different directory causing time gaps in the normal file feed. If you join them with the original feed you ll notice that the protected file starts before the ending of the normal feed so instead of having a gap you have overlapping video files.
- sound recording is surprisingly good
- battery 1200 mAH, yeah right, max 1 minute battery life.
- lcd screen size 2" is too small to be usefull while driving, (you'd better not look at it at all of course while driving).
- TF card is in the bottom of the cam, upon removing it, the TF card easily drops somewhere in the car.... ooops where did that go?
I uploaded some files (daylight) to youtube (pls dont mind the kids talking in the background
As soon as I ll have a night drive I ll upload some night video.
I m still hesitating whether or not to open the camera for a peek inside.... I ll keep you posted.
