    A119 V3 and A229. Is sensor and optics the same? A229 has WiFi, larger display (2.4" vs 2.0") and support external microphone while A119 V3 support external monitor. Is that all? It cost €65 more so I would think there is more to it...

    A119 V3: 1080p 60fps smoothness?

    V1.03 fixes the problem for 1080p@60fps but 720p@120fps is only 60fps (write same frame two times).

    Problems with updating G1W-S to version 1.1 firmware

    Viofo emailed me a new file and that worked, that is, it would update the firmware (still version 1.0 but a newer date). However, Dashcam Viewer will still not read GPS data so I'll contact @traveler

    Problems with updating G1W-S to version 1.1 firmware

    Your file was different from the same-name-file I downloaded from Viofo but the camera wouldn't update. Version number of existing firmware is 1.0 dated 2019.04.17. bin-file is only file on the card every time I have tested.

    Problems with updating G1W-S to version 1.1 firmware

    Yes I did. Tested first with LDBAG1W-S.bin, then deleted it and copied FW96650A.bin to the card.

    Problems with updating G1W-S to version 1.1 firmware

    I tried both files available at Viofo site, FW96650A.bin and LDBAG1W-S.bin. Card was first FAT32 formatted with PC, then with dashcam but no luck. I tried with wallcharger also although Viofo writes "Reconnect the camera to your computer...." which I understand as using the included USB...

    Problems with updating G1W-S to version 1.1 firmware

    It's this one. It was included with the kit Viofo sent me and it works with the camera, I can read speed and coordinates.

    I tried that also but it would just boot up and start recording, no update happened.

    Problems with updating G1W-S to version 1.1 firmware

    G1W-S is already listed as compatible on www.dashcamviewer.com but I could submit to him anyway. Viofo writes "For playback the video, we recommend RegistratorViewer for A118C, A118C2 and G1W-S......"

    Problems with updating G1W-S to version 1.1 firmware

    Have anyone succeeded in updating to firmware version 1.1? https://support.viofo.com/support/solutions/articles/19000072718-viofo-g1w-s-car-dash-camera-firmware The links to the two .bin files have different names but are otherwise identical according to windiff.exe. 15 minutes wasted...

    The list of shame fake 4K dash cameras Ultra HD

    Not fake but "fake". The cost for a lens that makes good use of a 4K sensor is prohibitive for consumergrade dashcams, hence "fake" because you essentially get the same level of details with a 1080p dashcam.

    Dashcam with GPS and 2G/3G/4G (SIM card, not lens:-)

    You set the speed limit yourself and the dashcam will sent you a SMS alert if your son, your employee or whatever exceed that limit. Then you can send a location request to see where they are driving. The hardware cost for this is low.

    The list of shame fake 4K dash cameras Ultra HD

    Nah, it's mainly because the optics needed for 4K are very expensive so, in a way, all 4K dashcams are "fake".

    Dashcam with GPS and 2G/3G/4G (SIM card, not lens:-)

    I've noticed there are some dashcams with SIM card slots but they are usually for GPRS use and, in addition to the cost for datatraffic, also require some sort of webtracking subscription service. What I'm looking for is a dashcam that can send SMS alerts or respond to a SMS message. Examples...

    How do you like the suction cup mounting used with your dashcam?

    Sooner or later a suctioncup will fall of the windscreen. How long it will stay depends on the windscreen (curved, dotted area), temperature, quality of suctioncup and probably more. I tested quite a few Chinese cameras with suction cups two years ago and none of them stayed for very long, the...

    VicoVation Marcus 3 vs SeeZeus GT550WS (DOD LS330W)

    Both cameras @ 1080p? I don't know what's the problem with Marcus 3, difficult to read licensplates, GT550WS being the better. I had the same problem when I tested Marcus 3 vs. Marcus 1 and Eeyelog EHD65.

    2014, what's the newest and greatest at the moment?

    Yes, I'm pretty sure that's often the case. Today I did a side-by-side comparison of Marcus 1 (140°/1080p) and Marcus 3 (160°/1296p). You can see the two screendumps here. http://faale.name/bilkamera_dashcam_test/mc1.jpg http://faale.name/bilkamera_dashcam_test/mc3.jpg I don't know what's the...
