My guess would be that its battery backup is failing (or capacitor if it is a capacitor one). I still have a G1WH model with original chipset (not a spytec), when the battery failed it got stuck in a boot loop. Putting in on charge and turning it off manually got it out as far as I recall...

The Li-po in my G1WH has gone a bit puffy, possibly as a result of the hot summer, I only replaced the original about 18 months ago. It is still working fine, but I'm reluctant to use it with a swollen battery. I'm wondering if this dashcam will work, apart from corrupting the last file and...

Update here:- http://www.gazette-news.co.uk/news/16606149.clacton-salon-smashed-20-times-in-act-of-revenge/ Driver rammed the salon 20 times and claimed to have blacked out. He got a suspended sentence.

That was a bit close, that pram could have done with some Scotchlite on it to make it show up in car headlights. I used to be a keen cyclist (just for getting around and to work, - not the lycra clad sort), and very nearly hit a toddler in a pushchair many years ago, not sure how much damage I...

You can see the van rolling back after the shunt, but the driver still manages to park up fully in the shop! http://www.clactonandfrintongazette.co.uk/news/16207958.Van_crashes_into_hairdressers_in_Clacton/

Lidl will have yet another dashcam offer on the 23rd in the UK:- https://www.lidl.co.uk/en/Non-Food-Offers.htm?articleId=4780&ar=12 Looks like it might even actually be a genuine 1080p one this time. Hotdeals thread discussing it here:-...

I have one on my cycle, uses a 3 volt lithium button cell, although it's not my main light, I use it on flash to make the bike more noticeable. I think it actually gives out more light than any of the approved road legal filament bulb Eveready 'D' celled, or those joined double cell bike lamps...

Norton's website analyser claims to have found 3 viruses on the website, so presumably Norton will also flag up the executable itself ==> https://safeweb.norton.com/report/show?url=www.registratorviewer.com Not sure how you submit a false positive report to Norton, but there's a button on that...

A few weeks ago, after the recent bout of hot weather I checked the recordings on the G1WH I bought my father. It had half a dozen or so corrupt files on in, one mid recording, exactly one hour in (so presumably not li-ion battery related), while the car was parked in the sun. I quick formatted...

1. Probably more likely to cause a collision not directly involving a Google car, from people looking at the self driving car rather than the road ahead. In the event of an accident, I would kind of expect the self driving car to retain a copy of the recently collected data from all its...

Lidl have got another "full hd 1080p" dashcam on offer next week. unfortunately it appears to be upscaled to 1080p again :- http://www.lidl-service.com/cps/rde/SID-69FEB94E-518E7C60/lsp/hs.xsl/product.html?id=123709252&rdeLocaleAttr=en&title=Dashboard%20Camera

They have quite a few of that type of traffic calming measure along one of the roads on the shortest route to Ipswich from here - it's mostly B roads, but much more direct and less congested than the A roads, and I presume they're there to discourage the road's use. as a short cut. Standard...

Black, save for the front led panel, shame about that. Still at least that's easily taped over. Why does a dashcam need white leds, or IR for that matter shining out the front and reflecting on the windscreen, the battery won't be large enough if you're supposed to use it out of the car.

When I was a kid, I was in the kitchen about 8-10 feet or so from a hotpoint washing machine when its mains filter detonated ( basically a very large electrolytic capacitor encapsulated along with an inductor in its aluminium can with a bolt thread coming out of its base, that attached it to...

UK police can compel you to reveal encryption keys: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/10/03/ripa-decryption_keys_power/ To defeat police, I'd suggest what you'd need is some sort of volatile memory storage with battery back-up that goes flat within a day or so of the camera being unplugged, and...

Both recording and having the display on would likely add to the power usage, and also to the heat generated. Have you tried another power supply in case the supplied power adaptor isn't up to sustaining the current required

I "fixed" the power cable on one similar to that recently, a very cheap clone I believe, which had a non-standard 12 pin USB plug. This was very thin and had snapped off, although I expect it would have been ok if the unit had been installed more securely in the tractor. Don't think much of...

I think it is still on BST. :oops:

about 40 seconds in.

I'm not sure if it was a reliable source, but I seem to recall reading somewhere that at least some of the UK supermarkets have been adding the maximum permissible amount of ethanol to petrol (under uk regs, which I think is currently 10%) because it was cheaper. I do know that there was enough...
