    Has anyone figured out how to extract position and speed data from frames without using Lukas viewer, preferably in a scriptable way? Thanks! David

    LK9700 type D as type B?

    Is it possible to use an LK-9700 type D (with OBDII) as a type B (without OBDII)? Is the firmware interchangeable? My car, a Subaru, is not compatible with the OBD II functionality. As a result, the camera has a warning that OBD is not connected, and then goes into parking mode. It won't read...

    Unbrick image for LK-9700?

    I picked up an LK-9700 Type-D with an extra DC cable from Calgary Dashcam, wanting to avoid green-sum and the pains of international shipping. To their great credit, Rob from Calgary Dashcam called me back _immediately_ and is working on solutions to the problems below. The box came OEM-sealed...

    LK-7900 ACE focus issues: related to AC31?

    Hi all, I have 2 LK-7900ACEs, one mounted in the front window and one mounted in the back. They had been running AC27 and AC29 (one of each), corresponding to the firmware available at the time they were delivered. I recently upgraded both cameras to AC31 and both cameras immediately started...

    Lukas LK-7900 ACE front/back minor accident ahead

    Good morning, On the weekend a minor accident took place in the on-coming lane. It's not dramatic at all, but I wanted to share it to show how the LK-7900 handled it in the night-time conditions at a distance. The accident was captured on the front camera -- a simple rear-ending at a...

    POLL: LK-7900 ACE feature requests

    I don't know if anyone from Lukas follows this forum, but a consolidated list of feature requests and bug fixes that can be accomplished by only changing firmware could be collaboratively made here and sent to them on behalf of the group as a whole. Maybe we'll see some of those changes in AC31...

    Lukas Viewer under Linux?

    Has anyone gotten Lukas Viewer working under Linux using wine or anything else? I have it working to configure it using wine with no unexpected steps (wine setup.exe, then ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Lukas/Lukas Ace$ wine Lukas\ Ace.exe) . Using this setup it can create a working...

    LK-7900 AC25->AC27 update turned camera into brick

    Hi folks, Yesterday I followed the directions to upgrade my LK-7900 from the AC25 firmware it shipped with to AC27, the latest version on the Lukas website. The update took about 6 minutes and the reboot was followed with "Err3" on the screen. It then voiced the usual "recording mode started"...

    Neewer DVR-007 knock-off

    Here's my first video from my Amazon-purchased DVR-007 knock-off - http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B004I4Z ... 00_s00_i00 (the description in the ad has been changed somewhat since I bought it and the picture's a bit different). It claims to record at 1280x720 but looking at the video I might as...

    Best camera for mass market in North America?

    If you could bring in a single dashcam currently in production anywhere in the world and sell it at Best Buy and Wal-Mart across North America, which camera would it be and why? I'm hoping for a consensus more than a debate.

    Smartphones as dashcams?

    I was just thinking... is there an app for iPhone, Blackberry, and/or Android that employs the phone itself as a dashcam? The only hardware needed would be a windshield mount that points the camera forward without obstruction. For iphones and others with two cameras it could even do...

    North American vendors?

    Is anyone aware of any North American retail vendors that sell (and preferably test and warranty) dashcams? I want a place I can reliably get non-fake equipment with specs I can see before I buy the product. I want to know what menu options are available before waiting a month for a...

    The perfect dashcam?

    Hi all, New to the forum, I've had a cheap Neewer (presumably a knock-off as I don't see that manufacturer listed here) dashcam in my car the last couple of months. It's pretty good, handles 64 GB SDXC cards giving me a bit over 24-hours of continuous footage at max quality, but its major...
