Congrats, looks like we need to get ahold of the 20130913 firmware now as well. What bit rate are the recordings? (day light with movement should be the highest) Right Click properties, I'm hoping you see >15Mbps again like 0905 had.
And yes my original eprance 0801 had stuck/dead cmos pixels as well. (only seen in still/dark recordings) My new Givoe 0801 arrived with 100% clean cmos pixels.
You know you can order the GPS base directly from Givoe? Just message them and they will send you a special link to buy it for $15 USD.
Yes it has a mini HDMI port, and one of those mini jack A/V ports on old school cameras.(composite)
I've just checked the properties on a few short clips I tried this afternoon taken from our decking over the local countryside at the rear of our home, the longest one showed the Data Rate as 17,645kbps with the total bitrate just slightly higher, the other 2 clips were both around the 16,850kbps mark. I thought the picture quality was very good, but they were only slow panned clips.. not fast movement, I've yet to try it out in the car.
Re. Dust specs on CCD.. I'm not too concerned by them as barely noticable, the LED display itself doesn't have any bad pixels, these are tiny specs of dust you sometimes get on the surface of the ccd sensor itself, I've seen them loads of times on my DSLR camera equipment over the years, they can be cleaned off if you know what your doing, but it means opening up the camera... just not worth messing with as most of the time you dont see them, and like I said earlier it is a low cost dashcam not a 1K dedicated high spec camera, dust specs can be a real pain for DSLR owners especially if you change the lens a lot, which people do of course, which is where the old bulb air blower comes in handy as often it will blow off or as often as not it blows somewhere else on the sensor...lol
Yes there does seem to be a lot of firmware versions being released, which TBH I think we need more definitive info on, we certainly need to establish what versions we can consider to be stable, rather that it being a pot luck pick...lol
Both my camera's I bought have the GPS base, though I would'nt mind buying a spare non-gps base, just as a spare really.
Lastly JazJon... that clip you posted the link to above, is very impressive indeed, you sure you didn't tweak that clip before posting it...lol I'm amazed at the quality you can get from these cheap cams. You sure it came from the 0801...LOL
well I can dream can't I .. LOL
