    SG9663DC won't power on anymore

    The new front camera is in and working flawlessly. The rear camera that had been intermittently inoperative for a while now is working flawlessly as well, so it looks like I've been having issues with this one for a while. Any chance you might want this one back to do an autopsy on? Thanks...

    SG9663DC won't power on anymore

    No dice, guys. applying power I get no signs of life, backlight doesn't light up, etc. Have to hit the power on button to get one half-second on the REC LED and nothing after. This camera has had issues for about a year now when the front end stopped talking to the back end, and a new cable...

    SG9663DC won't power on anymore

    Stop me if you've heard this one. Red "REC" light turns on for 1 second about 1 second after hitting the power on button, that's it. Tried with both 3-wire hard wire and cigarette plug with red LEDs lit on PSU, memory cards, GPS and rear camera removed, same indications. Tried holding the...

    Rear camera failure (intermittent)

    I did run the 2nd cable that came with the camera to test, same issue. Off hand it's going to be something with the front camera, I'm just wondering if it could be something besides a hardware failure.

    Rear camera failure (intermittent)

    I received the new rear camera a couple of weekends ago and installed it. The rear camera had been 100% inoperative for a good two weeks at that point. The new rear camera didn't work for about three days, then miraculously started working again.. Frustrating. Any chance maybe resetting /...

    Rear camera failure (intermittent)

    I was thinking about upgrading, but tbh I don't think it would be worth it. Rear cameras are fun when it's bright daylight out and you can see people behind you losing their minds, flipping out, singing to the radio, picking their noses, etc. But under low light conditions everything is mostly...

    Rear camera failure (intermittent)

    Hardwired 3-wire from you, same as since day 1, still intact, corrosion free and seemingly working fine.

    Rear camera failure (intermittent)

    No dice. Still intermittent with the new cable. I thought I was on to something regarding how and when it failed, but I can't make sense of it. I just hope it's not a problem with the front camera. Can we talk brass tacks regarding price for the rear camera? Thanks again for your time and...

    Rear camera failure (intermittent)

    Howdy, all. I have a fairly early SG9663DC, purchased May 2018. The camera has been working flawlessly until recently when I've noticed the rear camera isn't starting up / powering on all the time. It might have something to do with the power down process; if the rear camera starts in the...

    Number one feature for my next dashcam... FULL SIZE SD CARD!!!

    At least if they made one with a hole in it, you could attach a "remove before flight" streamer or something. USB thumb drives come with so many different variations, you could tie it off to a bumper hitch if you wanted. I did find this guy who seems to have an excellent solution, if only...

    Number one feature for my next dashcam... FULL SIZE SD CARD!!!

    Alternative title for this post: who makes a micro SD card with a lanyard? I'm way to hot and angry at myself right now after spending the past hour under my dashboard trying for find the !@#$ing micro SD card I just dropped to post anything more rational right now. You know darned well that...

    Official Owners Thread : TQKA 20,000 mAh LiFePO4 Battery

    LiFePO4 typically should be kept between 0 and 40c. Charging below 0c can damage the cells. The cells will perform better up to 50c but will reduce their total charge / discharge cycles. They shouldn't be stored over 60c.

    How Cold is Too Cold to Install This Camera?

    My new car was delayed by a month from the factory and the new toy complex is killing me. My new DC is just sitting here in the box. :-(

    SG9663DC too bright and too sharp or just me?

    My DC just showed up on Friday and I don't think I got anything done this weekend. My wife is very angry with you, Jokiin. Has anybody played with the WDR setting yet and observed the differences in various lighting conditions? We've had nothing but heavy rain and I can't evaluate anything yet.

    P%p or get off the pot time for me

    Thank you very much for your time, Jokiin. A gentleman as always. It's DC or nothin' for me, then.

    P%p or get off the pot time for me

    Thank you for the kind words, Deacon. Thank you as well for the generous offer, StreetGuardianUSA. I was hoping for some details regarding whether it will be pre-buffered, motion detection, shock detection, audio detection etc. I also know that there has been a suggestion previously that it...

    P%p or get off the pot time for me

    I'm about to take delivery on my first new car since (get this) 1993, and the dashcam is the 1st thing that's going in it. March 6th ETA on the car and I NEED to get an idea whether Street Guardian's much anticipated but never demonstrated parking mode is going to be the bomb or a bomb. I...

    Street Guardian SGGCX2 – (2018 New Model)

    Any chance the X2 might be in line for the same future WiFi and parking mode enhancements as the DC at some point?

    Street Guardian SG9663DC (DC = Dual Channel)

    With the DC hitting the streets shortly, I'm wondering if it might be time to delete this thread and start over. It's 100 pages of noise, mostly. But it is entertaining for sure...
