Hi

I'm looking for a reliable dashcam that can handle the Canadian weather.

I'm currently considering top models from three brands:
  1. Vueroid S1 4K Infinite
  2. Thinkware U3000 Pro
  3. Viofo A329S
I’ve been watching reviews of the Vueroid S1 4K Infinite, and while it looks promising, most of the videos come from the same two creators. Because of that, I’m not sure if it’s genuine praise or just early hype for a product that only launched about three months ago.

Do you have any recommendations or advice?

Thanks

Alex
 
@SafeDriveSolutions recently started a review comparing those 3 dashcams

If you look on the S1 page there are a number of contributors who have posted video samples:
https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/forums/s1-4k-infinite.447/

Each user will have their own preferences about what is most important to them. Overall video quality? Licence plate capture? SSD option? Heat tolerance? Radar? Telephoto? Screen or no screen?

The S1 has been a solid performer in the month that I've been using it so far. So has the A329S (I have the A329T telephoto version). I have no experience of the U3000.

Tomorrow I will have the U3000 Pro vs Vueroid S1 video.
There are some very good video quality examples. SIt back enjoy. 8am Pacific Time I will post it in my main review thread.
 
Not familiar with the vueroid system like most of us in here, but it do seem like they have hit the ground running.
If you take additions to the list, i have been using the Vatrue S1 Pro Max for a while, and i have not found anything grave or even just annoying with it.
I do think there are Vueroid cameras in the hands of more than a couple of guys even just in here, others maybe not as prolific posters or whatever reviewers.
Seem nice though, as a Euro boy with nice plates front & rear on cars here i am more gravitating towards a 2K model especially if it is maxed out and just not on a " inferior" SOC and smaller sensors VS the 4K model.

Also not been privy to the latest Viofo series, as i am getting old and don't have much purchasing power, and cant even do reviews as really that is not what i focus on.
Once i dreamed on being part of early development, but after over a decade in here i have only been sort of that once, and really for anyone else we don't seem to get in that early in the making of a new product, so generally we see fairly ready to go systems.


O and welcome to the forum Alex

Thank you kamar, I'll check the Vature S1 Prod Max cam as well. I never knew there was such an enthusiastic dashcam community.

Wow, that’s amazing. Over the years, I’ve been passively involved in forums on all kinds of topics, but I never expected to come across a forum dedicated solely to dashcams. To me, it’s just another reminder of how essential social interaction is for us primates.
 
O yeah quite a few old timers in here, we have even lost a few along the way too the grim reaper.
I think i signed up 2012 but i was lurking in here for a while before i signed up.
Not sure when the forum was actually launched i don't think much before that.

With what you are looking at you are for sure barking up the right trees.

There have over the years been stories of Canadians with dashcams cold locked in winter, but they did come back on once the car heated up a little.
Dunno of that is still possible, it was a while back i saw that.

Thanks kamkar, I was trying to avoid a Chinese dash cam; I don't have a lot of experience with their technology being reliable. This is why I really wanted to go with the South Korean ones, and I was ready to pull the trigger with the Vueroid S1, but based on the reviews I have been reading, maybe Viofo is the exception.
 
The Chinese can make stuff too, but then you do not get that at basement price.

I got a compressor ( Tuxing ) from China to fill my dive bottles i use in my PCP shooting hobby, i got 20 hours of work out of it and it need a rebuild, at least some ´membranes / valves and the guy i sold it to say it also need a new stage #4 piston and cylinder too.
That was still a 1500 USD compressor, i now have a Italian made one, actually the same the Chinese was a copy of, but that while i got it at a good local deal was still on the wrong side of 2000 USD..
So still feel the burn of a initial " bad " choice CUZ others had good experience with the same compressor, and of course the unexpected extra price of having to buy a new even more expensive compressor.

Volume WARNING !!!


But Viofo have a good reputation in here, and a actual official presence too, i have tried a few of their older models back when they was new, and they never given me any grief, though i should maybe remind you that i do not run systems for as long as i would expect a dashcam to last ( 4 years )
And Danish summers or for that winters are not the hardest ones for in car electronics, a really bad winter day here is like -10 deg C and most often only come one of those days at a time, i think last winter we had 1 of those.
And summer is really hot here if it get up to 30 deg C and in the span of summer the norm are not many of those days, and 2 such in a row are rare.

Interesting experience with your compressors. By the way, your weather sounds very similar to ours here in Toronto, thanks to an atmospheric condition called lake-effect that helps moderate winter temperatures and reduces the amount of snow that actually falls in the city.
 
Now the other question for me is, what batteries should I buy if I go for a 3-camera setup? Does this battery get charged when the engine is running? Or do I have to charge in the house?
 
Yes we Danes are Canada north on the globe, but we are small and surrounded by water, hell we scrapped our 2 ice breakers like 15 - 20 years ago.
So we don't quite see the winters you guys can get, well inland at least.
 
Yes a dashcam power pack get charged when the car is running, i run the 70 mai one and i do need to drive like 70 minutes or so for it to be fully recharged again.
The dashcam power pack will charge fastest on a Fused connection, going by the cigarette 12 V plug the charge rate need to be a bit lower, not a lot but lower none the less.
I am connected up to a 30 A fuse in my car for that ( 12 V constant supply ) the 12 V ACC is just a 10 A fuse as it is pretty much just for signaling.
This pack will run flat after a couple of days, i only do worth mentioning drives 2 times a week, when i drive 45 KM to visit my old mother and then my friend where i shoot a bit, do that drive 2 times a week, and then my dashcam power pack are fully charged even if i stay overnight at my friends place some times to get 2 days of shooting.

I am on a pension, so swatting 2 flies with one go is nice, visit mom - visit friend that live like 2 KM from where my mother live.
 
Generally though i prefer to use the low bitrate parking guard mode, and then on a 3 hour timer, CUZ at home i have CCTV on my 2 floor balcony door on my car parked in the back yard, so really only just need parking guard for when i do shopping, and that is most often done in 30 minutes.

But if i have been given a system to beat on, i must of course try all the modes, and some can be a bit " thirsty"
 
I had not noticed the vueroid have connectors for the external stuff in the mount,,,,,, that's pretty neat.
