- More than my wife thinks I need.
I currently have a couple of A118-C cameras (front and rear) in my wife's car. Problem is the rear camera causes a lot of radio interference that I've not been able to eliminate. Because of this I'm considering replacing them with a CF-100 dual channel (actually I already have it in my 'shopping cart' on Amazon, just waiting to make the final decision).
I've read the owner's manual available on-line as well as the threads in this forum but before I pull the trigger I have some questions.
1. As I understand it 'event' recording only captures a 30 second file, 10 seconds before and 20 seconds after. Is this in addition to the normal file or instead of?
2. The manual only mentions capture of 1 minute video files. Is there an option for 3/5/10 minutes?
3. Is there overlap from one video file to the next as is common on most cameras?
4. A few posts have indicated the G-sensor is very sensitive. Can it be turned off completely?
5. My understanding is the camera set up is done on a PC via software and stored on the micro SD card. Is the set up information on the card permanently (.cfg or .ini file) or is it transferred to the camera on start up?
6. How long is the cable to the rear camera?
TIA for any information you can provide.
Edit: After searching around a bit and downloading the viewer software I was able to answer questions 2, 4, and 6. Any information anyone can provide on 1, 3 and 5 will be much appreciated.
