I've been trying out the K1s alongside my DrivePro 200 before installing it in another car.
Overall I'm impressed but today I had a few small issues that are a bit of a showstopper because you expect a dashcam to be a 'set and forget' device, andI worry that the K1S may fail to capture something when I really need it most.
Firstly, having been unused for a few days, it didn't boot at all when the car powered up. A small white LED was visible next to the power in cable but it did't boot (and pressing the power button didn't help) - after much faffing with the power button (and others to see if anything would response) I tried removing the battery and disconnecting it, then replacing the battery and power cable - it booted and appeared to be working normally.
At the end of a 12 minute drive I found that only the last three minutes had been recorded on the SD card, the file numbers ended 10,11,12 which is what I'd expect, indicating that clips 1-9 were obviously 'lost' somehow, which is rather concerning.
Until today it's seemed really reliable, but i'm a little concerned now - my DrivePro 200 has been flawless since the day I installed it (and mine's a bit butchered!)
