The most important parameter is the physical pixel rate of reading out the raw sensor data, and this is the only one that really counts.I seem to remember using 60fps with the front cam only in beta testing, but it's only 30fps with all cameras operating.
Given that this camera has 3 channels, there is no reason to think that the read out rate of the sensor is the limiting factor for recording FPS. Especially if the specifications are allowing for multi-frame HDR read out.The most important parameter is the physical pixel rate of reading out the raw sensor data, and this is the only one that really counts.
You can easily create fake 4K@60 or 4K@50 videos by upscaling and subsampling (and a lot of manufacturers are doing that!).
The manufacturer should provide the real sensor information ( like "does 4K@60 with 10bit/12bit sampling, connected over MIPI/CSI/CSI-2").
I can assure you that this sensor doesn’t give 4K, since it is a 2K sensor, 10/12 bit for the sensor may depend on frame rate and for the processor may depend on number of channels … all too complicated to put in a simple specification.like "does 4K@60 with 10bit/12bit sampling, connected over MIPI/CSI/CSI-2"
f/1.0 lenses are affordable and make for good gains in low light, the tradeoff though is they let in too much light in bright light situations, when you're making a device that needs to be used under the widest range of circumstances without manually adjusting anything you need to make some compromises to make it workable
Keep in mind phones don't have multiple lenses, they have multiple sensors and lenses, trying to squeeze that into an acceptable form factor using hardware appropriate for dashcam use is only part of the challenge, there's a lot more smarts in even low end mobile phones these days, not to say things can't change but I think we're still a long way off something like this in a dashcamI suppose putting an aperture disc on it would be way too complicated. Anyhow, it's just a wishlist. Maybe we'll arrive to the point like phone cameras (even cheap $100 phones are having 2-3 lenses now). One for day, one for night?
So do many dashcams, but we prefer to use them for multiple views because that is more useful than multiple exposures.Keep in mind phones don't have multiple lenses, they have multiple sensors and lenses,

If you make the CPL mandatory then F1.0 should be OK…

Yes, they always will, you can't argue with the laws of physics, so F1.0 is only suitable for the smaller sensors.These wide aperture Starlight lenses work very well in low light but unfortunately they tend to have shallower depth of field than the typical M12 lenses most of us are familiar with in our dash cams.

not facing in the same direction, that would change the design obviouslySo do many dashcams
agree, people generally want to see as much as possible around the vehicle, everything in one direction less sobut we prefer to use them for multiple views because that is more useful than multiple exposures.
