    Best Non-Cloud Camera

    I've probably found the answers to my own question since my original post a couple of days ago. Apparently Cloud features may be optional and cameras will work perfectly well without activating Cloud connectivity, which is what the sales guys at BMC told me (for Thinkware cameras at least). I...

    Best Non-Cloud Camera

    I have a 5-year old Thinkware F770 and am considering replacing it as the video quality seems poor to me now. But I am confused by all the dash camera Cloud marketing hoopla these days, and have decided that while I am admittedly an old dog, sometimes it can be the smarter to avoid messing with...

    Dashcam Viewer App will not accept Thinkware's password

    Thank you Steve. That worked! (y) It took a couple of reset attempts, but the connection was finally re-established. And it appears to be holding as it automatically reconnected a second time after shutoff the car's engine and retrying later when I started the car again. And yes I had to...

    Dashcam Viewer App will not accept Thinkware's password

    I've had a Thinkware F770 Dash Cam on my car for more than 4 years now, and the Thinkware Dashcam Viewer app on my iPhone for the same time. Both of which have worked flawlessly since installed. Now suddenly when I try to use the phone app, once the phone detects the F770 WiFi connection it...

    Rear Camera Orientation

    Sure enough, I installed the rear camera upside down. But thanks to kamkar I found the Camera2 settings to invert the video. Good thing too, cause looking at an upside down video gets weird real fast.

    Rear Camera Orientation

    New SG9633DCPro+ owner here. I'm anxious to finally get it installed, and am wondering if there is a right or wrong way to position the tubular-styled rear camera in it's window mount. Or asked a different way, does it have a top & bottom side? It can go in from either the right or left. I...

    Ferite Core

    I didn't know that. Sounds like a good idea to use 'em, especially since this new car seems more like a cell phone with 4 tires on it given all the funky electronics :wacky: the manufacturer put in it. Thank you

    Ferite Core

    What do I do with it? I'm in the process of installing a new SC9663DCPRO+ camera and came upon this item in the parts bag. I assume it goes around one of the camera cables, but not sure which one, or where. Thanks.

    VIOFO and long term car battery life with parking enabled

    Back to your original question. I would offer the observation that an issue more likely for you to be concerned about is the potential for a periodic dead battery that needs jumping instead of shortened battery life . Given what you have described so far (including no access for a trickle...

    Acoustic insulation / thermal

    Good job! (y) Well placed assortment of sound deadening, sound blocking and absorbing absorbing materials. I wasn't nearly as thorough as you were, but after doing my last vehicle, the wife said ... "Now that you've taken car of the road noise, can you do something about the road bumps?"

    COVID-19 Coronavirus Thread

    The owner of this gas station apparently refuses to remove the sign because local authorities do not "require" mask wearing. This is where I grew up, and people in my home state wonder why Covid is spiking there again. American stupidity at its worst. I wouldn't knowingly sit in the smoking...

    COVID-19 Coronavirus Thread

    In an unapologetic attempt to add more fuel to the COVID-19 debate fire, I think this whole debate about politics, constitutional rights, religion, data and whatever else is totally irrelevant. Interesting comments all, but just useless opinions on the internet. :devilish: We humans are not...

    Amen. A mask these days is a lot like pants. Failing to put either one on potentially exposes other people to a lot of stuff about you that they'd just as soon not deal with.

    USA For Sale - Vico Opia 2, Vico Power Plus & CPL Filter

    Sold the car in which this was installed. Camera and all work great. Doesn't fit well with new car (has safety cameras on the windshield that get in the way) so am parting with my 1 year old Opia. Price includes Opia 2 camera, Vico Power Plus, Marcus CPL polarizer lens and 64GB SD card. $175...

    Clean your cpl filter periodically

    Just thought I'd pass on this silly little suggestion. I've had my Opia2 for over a year now and it works great, but I haven't checked the videos or SD card in a long, long time. So today I decided to look at a few videos and see how everything was working. The video quality just didn't seem...

    Dash Cam Suitable for Commercial Trucker??

    My brother in law is an over the road driver. He drives the big rigs ... 18 wheelers. After hearing some of my experiences with dash cameras in my own cars, he's expressed interest in one for his truck. Are there good models I can suggest that he might consider? Most brands I've seen are...

    So this guy's wife wanted him to update their house gutters and downspouts. He did.
