    Mobius Records with motion on battery only

    I have been using my mobius 1 for a dash cam for the last year with the super cap. Running it off aux power from the car and having motion activated. Recently I have gotten the M2 and use that as my forward facing dash cam. I took the super cap out of the M1 and put it in the M2 and the M2 runs...

    BAD BATTERY?

    So I have been having issues with the Mini 806 for about 4 months. I bought it just over a year ago, and it seemed to work fine besides the magnetic filter vibrating in my car. Basically it turns off and on constantly when driving. Sometimes there is a mixture of on and off within a second...

    Buying battery in China

    Hello all. So next month I am going to be in China with my Yi 4K :). Now, even though I ordered some spare batteries about a month ago they have yet to arrive (multitude of reasons). So, anyone knows if I can buy in Beijing some batteries, and if so where? I start my trip there and would like...

    Parking mode and unreliable "permanent" power in modern cars

    I just had a dashcam fitted today to a Mini (BMW, not original). Ran into a problem where according to the chap (who is a specialist fitter), trying to get a clean 12V always on feed is nigh on impossible in BMWs and many modern cars. He said that the car tends to put all ancillary circuits to...

    Battery not charging and other problems

    Very recently I bought a Gitup Git2, right before I went on a week-long vacation, so I could capture some underwater videos and pictures. Being the tinkerer that I am, I read up quite a bit on it and noticed the issue with the battery charging when inside the Git2, which I hoped wouldn't affect...

    battery life for Timelpase

    Hello. I want to upgrade my old Yi to the new one, but I'd also like to know what is the average time those of you who owns it can get on a Timelapse shooting regular mode (not video TL). I saw in many reviews that video time is incredible, but I'm interested in knowing TL time. Thanks in advanced

    [SOLVED] circuit that allows 3.7v battery charging and 5v USB pass through at the same time.

    So I've been looking at supercaps and powerbanks and USB UPS systems and reading a lot of stuff on here and had wondered why nobody seems to have linked to something like this yet. It allows you move the battery out of your camera and into somewhere in your car that is likely to be cooler. It...

    k1S & Cellink - Perfect together?

    OK, so I have been looking at the pros and cons of this camera. One requirement I have is parking mode. A drawback of this cam seemed to be that it doesn't have supercaps and the internal battery if left inside could either expand, damage the DVR unit, cause a fire in the vehicle, or...

    Is it possible to have 2-channel 1080p dash cam systems based on supercaps (not batteries)?

    I have read about the importance of supercaps to a dependable Parking Mode strategy. So my question: Does anyone make 1080p (or higher) 2-channel dash cams based on supercaps? I believe there are some 1-channel dash cams with supercaps, but I am only interested in 2-channel systems.

    Should I buy a PMP-type of device for this setup below?

    If I have my dash cam hardwired to the fusebox and connected via a Cellink, T-Power Plus or some other similar secondary battery UPS, should I still buy a Battery Discharge Prevention device, such as the Lukas LK-290, Power Magic Pro, or ("the Mercedes of BDPs") the Vico-Power Plus? I am not...

    Battery-based dash cams, Cellink/T-Power Plus α, and Super capacitors

    Converting a battery-based dashcam to operate as a Super Capacitor-based dashcam

    Does anyone know if it is possible to convert a battery-based dash cam into a Super Capacitor-based dash cam system? I would be willing to add other electronics/electrical components to accomplish such conversion. My goal is to use the Koonlung K1S 2-channel dash cam (which uses a replaceable...

    Can Xaiomi Yi film while USB powered?

    Yes guys, I know it can film while "charging" (with the battery inside) but I have read that this can be dangerous to the hardware because it stays very hot. (And I tried it, its true lol) Then, I want to know if the Xiaomi Yi can film, while USB powered but without the battery connected...

    DVR-007 battery

    I have a 5 year old DVR-007 dashcam and the battery in it is barely holding charge (when I turn the car off, I see the battery indicator go down within seconds, although it does seem to still hold enough charge to keep the internal clock going). The cigarette plug charger that came with the...
