Hi,
I have a problem with my dash cam - it mostly doesn't turn on when starting the car as it thinks it has received a shut down signal as the power gets interupted while starting the engine. At least this is what I think is happening. I have to pull the plug out of the cigarette lighter socket and push it back in again before setting off. Does anyone know if there is a gizmo I can buy to smooth the current that I can insert between the socket and plug, perhaps?
On another note, why are dash cams so bad these days? I think I have better footage from my old dash cam than any of the new ones I see on YouTube (despite setting it to the highest quality playback - maybe it is still compressed?).
Thank you.
