Thanks, Phil!Welcome to DCT @RickyC
Nice to see such an established and respected name in cameras enter the dashcam market My monitor only does 1080P but the vids look quite good overall. Possibly a bit over-sharp but I've seen worse. Would like to see some footage in real darkness without streetlights as well as more than short seconds of full sun conditions; those are things some cams struggle with.
Anything else about the cam you can share?
Phil
Thanks, DrekiTech for your reply!
This is a baseless myth saying Hikvision HikDashcam Apps require more permissions than other Dashcam apps and send user information to PRC government.
it is nothing wrong to require access permission to your photos folder if you need to a quick footage downloading to your phone directly.
If you refuse to grant permission to the app, you still can use the app to do configuration. you just cannot do download or snapshot with your app which need your permission to save something to your photo folders.
Those permissions are basic for a dashcam app or any other apps. it is NOT full access to your phone at all.
There is no any single evidence showing Hikvision did any thing wrong, even they are banned by US government in US for geopolitical reasons.
We don't have to respect this ban in Canada if Canadians have their own judgement.
Jomise K7 looks like an OEM version of Hikvision F6S. But video quality in the video on the YouTube is not that clear. I can even see some pixilation.
I guess they did not use correct software, Miniplayer, to transfer the video on the MicroSD card to their computers.
I am totally agree with your suggestions about model numbers.
So I only tell my customers, F6, F6Pro, F6S, C6, C6Pro, and G4 Dashcams.
Products from a large company always have this type of issue, as they have a naming rule to follow.
You will see the same complicated model name confusion in Sony TV line up.

Nonsense. There is nothing baseless about it. It IS a fact.Thanks, DrekiTech for your reply!

Nonsense. There is nothing baseless about it. It IS a fact.
It is very clear that HikDashcam apps require more permissions and are more invasive than apps from other Dashcam manufacturers.
Why does the app need to see what other apps I have installed and running?
Why does it need to read "sensitive" log data?
Why does it need to read phone status and identity?
Why does it need to read device ID and call information?
Why does it need access to control vibrations?
Why does a dashcam app need access to camera permissions on your personal phone?
Why in the world does a dashcam app need access to controlling the flashlight on your personal phone?

do you guys want to carry it, or just want to purchase those cameras?Thanks!
I'm sure others here will be interested.
what is the model of the recorder? you need to enable "Hik-connect " on the recorder first before you can receive notifications.I am very strict with permissions on my phone, so yes i know they can be changed, i do however prefer to delete APP's if possible, and i get extremely frustrated when i am not able to do that.
The only savior is that i use my phone so extremely little, and in general it is just the wasted pocket space that annoy me daily, but as i am on a xiaomi phone, ALL of their own stuff annoy me, and if i was a phone addict it would have driven me insane and to where i would have shot the phone and gotten another one.
But making / getting a couple of phone calls or TXT messages every week, i am able to deal with my phone problems.
The cameras look fine i recon and as i would never really use them with the APP the problem / issue is Null to me
Hikvision also make some nice CCTV cameras, my friends 1080p PTZ camera are way more nice than my 1440p Dahua one, on the other hand other things i feel are nicer on the Dahua things.
I still have not been able to get his system to send notifications to tablets / phones, like it is very easy to do on my Dahua stuff, but i was able to get the things remote viewable, though with some frustration, but i always get that as i dont get network stuff.
do you guys want to carry it, or just want to purchase those cameras?
As you may know, we don't sell directly, we only sell through our authorized distributor channels.
we are looking for partners now to carry those products.
