Hi,
This is my first VIOFO dashcam, after my old trusty dashcam packed up after 8 years of service I decided to give VIOFO a go as per good reviews on the internet.
I hardwired it with an HK4 kit and there is my first question, what setting is recommended to use for the power cut off 11.8 / 12 / 12.2 or 12.4v? I don't run parking mode all settings are off related to parking.
My second question is what would you recommend for the bitrate? I understand the higher the bitrate the better video quality but hence more space is used on the SD card? I got a 128GB SD card but I already can see I will probably need to upgrade it to have a longer recording at least to last me 8 hours of archive on 2 channels. Is the higher bitrate worth the extra space in your experience?
My third question would be is there a software to view recordings on the MAC/PC that would show you a map with a route on it with your car's location while watching back the video like in the screenshot?
Same for the iPhone on VIOFO's marketing images they show a map but I don't have that on my app is this just cool marketing or I'm missing something?
Thank You
