Why not try a "OBD II splitter cable"?

In Sweden unattended video surveillance in public areas is illegal (without a permit). This means that parking mode is illegal in public places. So principally the only place you can use parking mode is in your own garage, or maybe in your own driveway (as long as no public areas are visible)...

At 1:00 omg!

Can anyone recommend video editing software that could be used to blur out number plates or faces?

Can anyone describe how I do to open the camera case on a A8? I want to see if I can reverse the camera mount.

Well, Vitaly Petrov is a fairly well-known russian F1 driver.

That is kind of complicated to say. The deterioration is a combination of time and state of charge. The lower the state of charge the faster the process goes. As I have mentioned earlier this is a slow process. But as a very rough rule I would say that if you repeatedly leave you battery not...

If you ignore the problem, it will go away… I guess that most people here do not really know that much about battery life, or cold crank current.

Well, the car was parked… and I left the camera on for a couple of minutes so I guess that should count for parked mode. On the other hand, I cannot really see why parked mode should use less power than regular mode. The only difference is that the camera does not need to write to the memory...

I just measured the current consumption of my ITB-100 HD. In the beginning the value varies a lot but after a while the current stabilized somewhere between 0,32A and 0,42A... I also measured the current of the Smallest HD 720P (H264) and this camera was fairly steady at 0,15A. And finally I...

There are a lot of factors in this equation. If your camera draws less power than the camera in my example, or if you have a battery with lager capacity, it might work just like you say. But you have to do the math with your own camera and your own battery capacity (and battery health). Also...

So you say that you can leave your camera on for up to seven days and then still be able to start your car. Have you actually tried this? But this might work if your camera draws very little current and/or if you have a more powerful battery. For me it is the other way around. I would never...

I’m guessing that my camera draw 0,5A based on the heat from the camera (ITB-100HD). I would say that the heat is roughly the same as from a 5W light bulb. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Yes, as long as the camera uses the same resolution and frame rate the power consumption is the...

Yes, the ITB-100HD will drain your battery if you hardwire it to your car. I would guess that the camera will draw around 0,5A. This means that if the camera is connected for 24 hours it will draw 6Ah from your battery. So if your car has a 60Ah battery you will lose 10% battery capacity every...

I saw that it takes 2 hours and 50 minutes to charge that T-Power C battery pack. I guess that very few people drive their cars that long every day. That means that you will have to charge the battery pack outside the car every day in order to have the full 20 hours parking capacity.

It is really not a big problem to discharge a lead-acid battery to 50%. The problem is for how long time the battery is exposed to that low level of charge. Let’s say that your car has problems to start and that you have to run the starter motor multiple times before the engine finally starts...

RSole is completely right. Lead-acid batteries should always be kept as fully charged as possible. As soon as your lead-acid battery is not fully charged the sulfation process begins. The problem is the combination of charged levels and time. As soon as your battery is not fully charged the...

Some additional information regarding firmware 2.2. According to one ITB-100HD seller that I have been in contact with Itronic will release the English version of 2.2 in April.

Hi Vince, There is no difference between 2.1 and 2.2 regarding startup time. Both take about 29 seconds until the startup tune. The only difference I have noticed, so far, is that the 2.2 seems to shut down a little faster. The shutdown tune for the 2.1 start just after the shutdown tune for...

Just some days after I got my first ITB-100 I received a second one from another seller. This camera have firmware version 2.1. I e-mailed Itronics support and asked them about the difference between these two firmware versions and where I could download the latest version for the second camera...
