Product images:
To show relative size, Hyundai H92 side-by-side with NanoQ (mini 0903) and Vantrue R2.
H92 is huge but it's made for multiple purposes, Dashcam, GPS navigation, FM transmitter, Android tablet...
Front has reset hole below the lens housing.


Most of the ports are on left edge of the camera: mini USB, microSD, headphone out.
Not a fan of that huge chrome housing, probably will cover it with black electrical tape.
Combined with the size, blue front and chrome housing, it's not made to be discrete.
BTW, it's very light looking at the size.


Microphone hole on the bottom:


Nothing on the right edge:


Power button and tripod mount screw jack on top:


H92 Android home screen:


H92 Car DVR (dashcam mode) screen: It starts in DVR mode and starts recording even when connecting to a computer.

More coming soon...

Daytime videos:

Note: Startup is pretty long, around 40 seconds so you either have to wait before driving or hope nothing happens within that time.

Same video from NanoQ (mini 0903) has around 38 seconds of video by the time H92 starts recording.
Here's NanoQ video of the same time: NanoQ Comparison Video.

****************************************************
Daytime video screenshots: Video quality is pretty good. It's similar to Novatek based cameras. Not too sharp and colors look little washed but details are there.
Audio quality is very good.
Here are few screenshots, some in residential areas, some at stop, some against the Sun and some in highway @ 70 mph.











****************************************************
Haven't figured out yet on the GPS part... it seems that it doesn't have GPS info on the videos.

Next to mini 0826 in the vehicle:
From inside...


From outside:

That thing is bigger than my A6000 CSC apart from a slight thickness difference. So APS-C in a dashcam may not be such a dream after all! Lol

 

[GearBest]

Video looks good. Thanks for your sharing!

Night video: from highway to residential area.

Night video screenshots:

 

[DashLA]

Wow, that is very decent. The exit sign is very readale.

Wow, that is very decent. The exit sign is very readale.

Yes, I'm pretty impressed with night quality.
Here are few more night videos:

 

[DashLA]

Decent night video. What is it 1.7 or 2.0 AP?

 

[Sunny]

Decent night video. What is it 1.7 or 2.0 AP?

Not sure.
Photo mode property has f/2.8.

Navigation:
Not sure how to use this yet.
It has four navigation apps:
KaiLiDe
Baidu
GaoDe
ShanlingDSA

However, clicking on any of them starts iGO logo so I guess all are using iGO behind the scene.
There is no map loaded so I'll have to find map that works with one of these apps.

Hi, everyone. Can you help me with this device. By mistake i flashed a wrong rom and now my device is bricked. Can anybody backup the stock rom and send me by link. Thanks in advance.

 

[Sunny]

I'm not sure how to backup the ROM.
It's Android so it would be possible.
Maybe manufacturer has it somewhere to download.

 

[Phenix]

Yes, indeed. There are lot of applications, rom manager and so on. But who is the manufacturer? Is they have a site. Someone maybe can backup stock rom.
