Lens selection will of course be an issue, since the lenses will be manufactured to be within certain tolerances (cheap=wider tolerances), and some will be better than others, and some will be beyond the limits where they should be used. That's all QC during manufacture. Aside from that, focus...

Nope, that one is dropping frames, and the bottleneck is CPU (only 2 cores) which is permanently stuck on 100%. The Dell Precision which manages fine is using ~70% of 4 cores.

Yet, oddly, Dashcam Viewer is smooth as silk on my Win7 Ultimate x64 first-gen, 2007 i5 Dell Precision M4500 laptop, playing A119S 1080p@60fps that are hosted on a 1gbps network machine. It does have an SSD system drive, but 'only' 8GB of RAM, CPU is i5 M520 2.4GHz. GPU is Nvidia Quadro FX880M...

If the bucket is full, you can't put more in it without tipping some away. This seems unsurprising :)

Sorry, what is unviable about Dashcam Viewer? The window madness can be tamed with a mouse in a couple of minutes, and it works flawlessly here with A119S 1080p@60fps (on W7 x64, too). I don't personally have a problem paying $25/£19 for the work that's gone into it. Support of higher res will...

Good lord, people don't half expect a lot from a dirt cheap camera these days :) It's an absolute miracle anything this good and this complicated can be made and sold at a profit for the price they are. I've been a pro photographer for 35 years. My mind boggles at the thought of a 95degree...

mbps = megabits, mb/sec. MB(capitals)=megabytes. MB/sec. Stupidly confusing I know. There are 8 bits to the Byte, but parity bits add some overhead. So 1 Byte = a little less than 1/8 of the number of megabits. 20mbps = ~2.5MB/sec so both are in agreement, different ways of stating the same...

Well, Class 10 is good for 10MB/sec, and my A119S at 1080p 60fpsis is around 2.4MB/sec... so Class10 is plenty in theory, and I see no sign of dropped frames or other write problems in practice... EDIT: I just noticed you asked about 20 mbps (ie megabits, not megaBytes). Unless that was a typo...

There's only about a fiver in it, I think. I was going to buy a Samsung 64GB class 10 which was £24.99 or £23.99 on Amazon, but in end bought a Sandisk High Endurance Video Monitoring card 64GB for £29.99. Whether it actually matters remains to be seen, but I've plenty of experience with...

Car windshields build up a greasy film of plasticisers from interior materials, even when they look clean. One thing that really helps with 3M tape is cleaning the glass with isopropanol before you apply it. Then glue the mount in place. Then leave it 24hrs before using the mount or stressing...

It's rather expensive for what it is (just a plastic filter, no glass protection), but it works without issues here. It's not going to fall off of its own accord, but can be dislodged when handling the camera - it also collects fingerprints when doing that, and the plastic lens is tricky to...

I've done it from a 2GB card I had laying around rather than use my 64GB data card. It worked fine.

I am glad to say this is now fixed. I re-set the camera, re-flashed the firmware off a freshly FAT32 formatted (full, not quick) 2GB card, reset defaults, changed the settings I needed to customise, formatted the 64GB data card in the camera and now it works fine :) That is what I did the...

I know that's how it looks, but it isn't off. Subtitles showing speed and position appear correctly in the movie image. But apparently the actual GPS data is no longer being written into the files. Thanks for letting me know you aren't seeing the same problem. That suggests something is screwy...

--EDIT: THIS IS SOLVED-- Is anyone else seeing GPS data not being written into the files since the new firmware? GPS is on and working, I am getting speed and coordinates as subtitles on the video. But Dashcam Viewer now sees no GPS info (so no map display etc) and if I export CSV from the...
