    A118C reboot

    Yes I realize it's a very old camera. But for the sake of using it in a a beater backup truck can it be fixed or salvaged. When the camera turns on it boots up, switches to the main menu and then turns off. The loop continues until I take power away from it. Is it toast?

    A118C from Gearbest - Full Review

    I received my A118C from gearbest yesterday. purchased on the 9th and received on the 17th. Funny thing is I never received any type of tracking information what so ever. In fact, when I log into my account on gearbest they still don't show it as shipped.

    A118-C Recommended Settings?

    I just got my new A118C and I changed a few settings. Since I'm in USA I set the video format to NTSC/60hz instead of the default PAL/50hz. I also turned off motion detection and G-shock feature. Changed the time zone and set the time. I left everything else the same. I did preview the...

    A118C from Gearbest - Full Review

    Any idea how long shipping takes at Gear Best? I ordered one 6 days ago on the 9th and have not received any tracking info. When I log into my account there is a tracking number shown but when I click on it all I get is "Undefined"

    A118C from Gearbest - Full Review

    Gearbest has it for $49.99 right now. Is this legit and not a copy? Cheapest I could find anywhere else on the C model was about $75.

    Question about hardwiring a dash cam

    Thanks I'll need to do a little research on the USB power output. I'm thinking of getting the mobius which I believe is limited to 5 but I'm not sure what kind of amp draw it has. I do know that I've used the dongle to charge my Samsung Galaxy s5. Not sure what the charge rate was though...

    Question about hardwiring a dash cam

    I just thought of something and I'm not sure why I didn't think of it earlier. Instead of me messing around adding a female cigarette receptacle under the dash or using an add-a-fuse I think I can just use the USB input on my head unit. It has 2 female USB dongles coming out of the back of the...

    Question about hardwiring a dash cam

    Like Phil said you have to get creative sometimes. If you look closely at the firewall there are usually a handful of access points that you can snake wires through. Sometimes there are existing wiring bundles that pass through a rubber grommet. In my Nissan there was a rubber plug that had...

    Question about hardwiring a dash cam

    Really. Must be an illusion. How is the video quality of the a118c vs the g1w? Any other good options in the sub $100 range?

    Question about hardwiring a dash cam

    I did have a G1W but the battery finally crapped out. I went a month without having it hooked up and when I tried to use it again all I could get was a blue light. I powered it with the USB adapter. Now I have to decide on a replacement and was wanting to hard wire it rather than connecting...

    Question about hardwiring a dash cam

    Thanks. But I see no where in that link that mentions the voltage will be stepped down from 12v to 5v. Am I missing something? The piggy back fuse holder shown in your link is practically identical to the one I already have.

    Question about hardwiring a dash cam

    It is acceptable to take a power cord with a cigarette lighter adapter and cut the adapter part off and use the two bare wires to connect into a fusebox using a piggyback (add-a-fuse)? I don't want a wire hanging from my window so I'd like to run the power cord along the windshield and instead...

    G1WH Won't Turn On

    Mine is doing the same thing. The blue light comes on but never anything else. Mine is about 1.5 years old. Time to scrap? Whats the hottest new cam under $100?

    Bought a g1w. Couple questions

    My camera produces mov files. The screen originally bothered me but since positioning it directly in front of the rear view mirror I cant even see the camera. So it doesn't seem to be as big a deal as I previously thought.

    Recording related questions

    I use a 32mb SanDisk tf card and can record over 5 hours of video when set to 1080p. Did you try formatting the card?

    Bought a g1w. Couple questions

    Nevermind, I figured it out. I was looking at auto power off instead of screen protection. Sucks it has to stay on for at least 3 minutes. I'd prefer about 10 seconds.

    Bought a g1w. Couple questions

    I received my camera today and one thing I can't figure out is how to get the screen to shut off while I'm driving. Anyone know?

    Bought a g1w. Couple questions

    Okay thanks for the information. Most of the descriptions state the camera takes SDHC or TF. I haven't seen any mention of microsd. I know that once you stick a microsd card into the sd cradle it shouldn't matter but with these Chinese cams being finicky about memory I just wondered.

    Bought a g1w. Couple questions

    I recently bought a g1w off eBay. URL: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=291026642255 Is this an authentic version or did I purchase a copy? Anyway, I need to get a memory card for it. Is it okay to buy a 32gb microSD card and use the sd adapter card that comes with it? All of my...
