battery

Hard to believe but It did happen twice in a day. 1. I installed A119 in my card after coming from work around 6pm. I decided to use cigarette charger that is available 'under my armrest'. I tested that the dashcam is not turned on when the car is off and with that, I left the dashcam...

Hello all, my trusty 0801 had been coming up with the error message about failing to write/needing recovery on startup which I believe is caused by the battery being dud. I removed the battery from it and soldered in one I had in the bits box from a mini quadcopter. However I'm worried that...

I bought a mini 0801 from Aliexpress Givoe in Feb 2014. It worked well until Jul 2015 - one day I noticed it wasn't recording anything. There was no red/blue light, no startup tone, no screen on and nothing happening. That was when plugged into the GPS mount in the car. I took it inside and...

Hi, I'm new to this modifications of action cams. -I installed XIMODE 2.1 (https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/thread...pyiview.19065/) on my Yi Cam (Z26 - 1.5.4 firmware). I thought it was compatible to my firmware but later I realized that it's not. And now it only has red light in power button and...

Hi! New here...wondering if anyone here has been using their dashcam in an electric vehicle for parking mode and if so, how do you have it set up? Full EV's like the Leaf, Bolt and Teslas or plug-in's like the Volt (my car)... Thanks!

Hi there! I recently got a Xiaomi Yi action camera with firmware version 1.4.8 . It worked awesome until it ocnstantly showed a red light when turning it on(still fully functional). In the app i only saw that my battery was 0%, i charged it with an external charger, and 2 other batteries, which...

What dash cams come with a feature that shuts the camera off when the car battery voltage is below a certain threshold? My vehicle's cigarette lighter port does not turn off when the car is off, that is why I need a dash cam that will turn off automatically. I do not want to have to remember...

Just bought a 470W as a replacement for one of several highly unreliable Mini 0805's that I have. After the 470W rode around in the vehicle for a few days, I decided to bring it in the house and download some video. I was surprised to find it ran for maybe a minute on it's battery. Concerned...

Where did you mount your Cellink Battery B? I have a Ford Escape SUV. The fuses are under the glovebox on the passenger side. I'm not sure I want to put the Celllink Battery B on the floor, since there is not a lot of room in the passenger footwell and northern Ontario (Canada) weather can leave...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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

Hi friends. I sign up on this forum to try fixing my problem with a Xiaomi Yi that I bought from Amazon last week. First problem was charging, I can't charge this camera, I tried all ways to do it but nothing happens, no LED while it's turn off. I tried to charge it while is turned on but LED...

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...

Hello, Is safe to use BC-SJ4000c dual charger with gitup git2 battery?

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...

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.
