A118 / B40 or A118-C / B40-C or something else?

[smithdean]

I looked for small, discreet, easy to install or remove

I have few in lists and if there is more, pls let me know

I looked at G1W C or the G1WC-B, Mini 0805, A118C. From thee three, which one would be better?

 

[DT MI]

At this point you'd be better off with the A118-C. Buy from @spytec directly that way if there is an issue it will be easier to deal with than an off-shore company.

The reason I say this is the G1Wxxx can be a crap shoot as to the quality of what you get and the Mini line seems to always have issues, at least based on what I've read on this forum.

I'd with the A118C to meet your budget and it's the most reliable out of those choices.

Well, if you're looking for a guaranteed, no risk, works perfect every time from now until forever there is no such thing. That's why you buy from a reputable, local seller so IF something happens you have recourse other than trying to work out an exchange half way around the world.

(All this assuming that the reviews are legitimate and are for the same camera. I've seen many reviews posted, on Amazon especially, that were for a completely different product.)

You pay your money and you take your chances...

any electronics can have problems, from the number of these that have sold there hasn't been too many reports of problems

There are too many sellers of the B40 to know. I had a quick look and they say it's the "Newest vision"

If you're trying to save a few bucks, you might not have proper warranty support after 45 days.

 

[DT MI]

Buy from @spytec. It's a local seller, with telephone support if necessary. The add you linked to says 'shipped from' US warehouse but the support (if any) will be off-shore.

Thank you Gibson99, you are amazing, answering of all my questions, appreciate that

If I think for something else to ask before I buy it, I will ask you again.

But here is from where I think to buy it, and can you please verify do you think is a trusted seller to buy from it. As I checked in Amazon as well and first the price there is higher, second
they will be shipped from China, and I don't have so much time to wait, as I will ship it to US address, I have friend there. And the link I gave you the price is the cheapest one I could find and also
it says that they are shipping it from US. It's seems legit, but may be you will see something more guys that I will not, so this is my last questions I think.

The think that I can damage the tint film for the sunlight I don't like it actually, but I will see what I can think of...
The reason why I want to put it there, is because I think is the most "secret"/discrete place, I don't want to be visible easy for the people outside the car. But I can think and putting it on the
dashboard as I'm pretty sure I will remove it every time in the night and will put it in the glove box in the car. What you think about that idea, do you think it will stay good on the dashboard and
record in the same way/angle of view and so on?

putting it on the dashboard is not a good idea. try taking a picture with your camera on the dash, and another with your camera up by the rearview mirror. you will get a lot of dashboard and windshield wiper in the bottom shot, and you will never capture anyone's license plate number becasue it will be blocked by your dash/hood/wiper. having the camera up high is the only good solution. it also makes it easier to hide by your mirror.

OK thanks, Spytech's price is $15 more though

 

[Street Guardian USA]

Is $15 really worth potential hours of future RMA/warranty support delay frustration? I've been there done that and regretted it. (With other products)

 

[DT MI]

$10. Spytec 79.95, Ebay seller 69.99.

 

[smithdean]

[DT MI]

..anyway ordered from Spytech but it's back ordered!

That will be for the best, at least you know you'll have support. Too bad about the back order. Did you try calling or messaging to see when it will be available.

 

[spytec]

Going to chime in here. We have no stock at our warehouse currently, but we have stock at Amazon's warehouses (FBA). So if you cancel your order with us, and order it through Amazon, it should ship today or tomorrow.

I would wait for one directly from Spytech.

 

[smithdean]

I would rather wait for an original one directly from Spytech than buy from Amazon? Amazon has these in stock from all kinds of sellers and is known to ship all kinds of things= FAKES?

 

[spytec]
