@Padwanjoe - try this APK for Android: https://apkpure.com/vantrue/com.sanjiang.vantrue That's the same version as what I have installed here (currently v1.0.25)

As @DT MI says no risk with factory tints. My current car was sold as factory tints but turned out it was aftermarket film and sure enough has a tear where they removed their old dashcam so I'm tempted to strip the lot off. Sometimes you can tell by the colour of the heater lines as well - in...

It's actually really good if these are testing for slow cards and giving a warning - not sure if that is a Vantrue specific thing or new Novatek SDK thing but great it's complaining instead of silently failing.

For all owners and prospective owners, the English user manual for the Vantrue N4 Pro can currently be found here: https://www.vantrue.net/manuals/pdf/index.html?file=https://cdn.vantruecam.com/files/manuals/Vantrue%20N4%20pro%20User%20Manual%20English.pdf Other languages are available here...

For you and other power users yes, but many users would forget as they just want it installed and then they never check it again after that - also why a lot of people don't realise there's a problem until after an accident. It's worth having the manual setting like the Viofo has, but some users...

There would, but unfortunately no perfect solution to turning if off and on etc. If the sensor is exposed to the OS level then you could wait say 30 seconds from light going below a certain level to turning on HDR which would stop it flipping in tunnels etc. The big thing is if it would need...

I think the interior camera has an IR cut filter - if so that suggests a light sensor somewhere. Maybe that sensor could also be used to trigger HDR off and on depending on current lighting conditions. Saying that I don't know if flipping HDR off and on would cause the video to restart while...

My MacBook Pro always used to have issues with 4K files from the A129 Pro and would only play at around 2fps when using builtin Apple tools. Glad to say no such problem on this camera although from previous Viofo posts they did fix that this year so not sure if that was a Novatek SDK update or...

Cool, in that case the IQ improvements they refer to in firmware updates may also be a slight increase in bitrate. The app was saying my camera was up to date out of the box but the newer front firmware was available on the website. The 5GHz WiFi seems to have a decent range too and I was...

What firmware are you on there mate and did you change anything from the defaults? I just set one up today as well and see the following file sizes which are slightly higher than yours (they're also 30fps) - I haven't changed any options yet other than setting region and date format etc. Think...

Take the card out, see if that stabilises, if not try another power source. If not could be the supercaps have failed and leaked. I can't remember off the top of my head what caps they used then, possibly Nano Force E1A, I did do a cap replacement at some point on one camera and didn't have the...

@kamilcan - it's not HDR video in the modern understanding of Rec. 2020 colourspace and a larger lux range, just HDR in the photography world style with two exposures merged into one to give the larger dynamic range (hence why it can look blurred as it's a darker and lighter exposure merged into...

That's absolutely brilliant, you've got some serious skills there @bobcat! Raises a great point that in the grand scheme of things for a camera of todays prices people would be more than happy to pay more for a more capable kit like this. Is it all the logged data you're outputting over the...

Yes that's the SoC adjusting for low light in the sensor, technically not sure if gain or exposure changes there but I think probably sensor gain as noise jumps a bit. I'm not sure if @TonyM has had his candles in the front headlights replaced yet with the new HID bulbs but to be fair a lot of...

Ring and Google do tend to do more on the machine learning / AI side with extra software processing than you get from a lot of other companies. Not always for the best though. If they took a good base like the Starvis range and applied their software on top of that you'd be in for a good ride -...

We moved to the Nest Doorbell after having issues with the Ring hardware. Ironically one of the advantages was that it didn't have a battery, but eventually it turned out they did, weren't easily replaceable and failed Privacy doesn't seem to be at the forefront of a lot of these devices in...

Ah so Traffic Stop is if you get pulled by the police so it records that. The first press articles haven't really explained it that well but that makes sense.

That Traffic Stop does seem strange if it only records for 20 minutes via the Alexa command. A dashcam that doesn't record journeys certainly sounds a bit strange, maybe bad initial marketing that will become clearer. It could be the holy grail of just capturing accidents and thefts. Probably...

First of all Happy New Year to you all and hope you had a great holidays. Have any of you got this on preorder? It's a Ring branded front and rear facing camera with internet connectivity. Probably most of interest to existing Ring customers and has LTE support for remote access if you have...
