Re: Custom Firmware for DR500GW-HD | NEW* V 1.1.1(E) Coming
I personally think that after installing the custom firmware this camera has the best video quality as far as dashcams go. The wide lens captures everything from side to side (pedestrian crosswalk for example) After the new auto-exposure fix coming in the new firmware and adding a polarize filter, I don't think this camera can be beat anytime soon.
Also Now we know that this camera is hackable so there is a potential for lot of custom modification. Not many cameras have teams working on hacks/mods to improve it.
As for Go-Pro, yes it has all those features but I don't think it was intended to be a dashcam in the car. Does it have the functions to loop video and simultaneously delete and start a new video without loosing any footage? I looked at getting a go-pro but the lack of those functions and not enough stealth kept me from going for it.
