...I didn't notice its operating temperature ranges...
Parked in the sun will be fine, if the temps have been fine for your G1W-H then you won't have problems with any others either
100f will be fine, we get way above those temps here
the SG9665GC will have a higher temp handling than the current models, capacitors and new lens and CMOS sensor that are high heat capable
Does the SG9665GC have a RTC battery?
I got one of these in the father-in-law to be's car for Christmas, he didn't have the black dots at the top of the screen but it wasn't an issue - his jaw hit the floor when he saw the performance of it too.

Well, been using the SG9665GC for about 5 days...
Where did you get a SG9665GC? They're not supposed to be released until later this month.![]()
Bought it off Pier 28's site, came with a 32gig cardWhere did you get a SG9665GC? They're not supposed to be released until later this month.![]()
I see the SG9665GM and SG9665GPS listed for sale but not the SG9665GC. The GC is the capacitor version that we are waiting on. Are you saying you purchased the capacitor version?
Yup, my bad it was the SG9665GM, sorry for the confusions knew there was a GPS version, didn't realize there was a third.
Thumbs up on the SG9665GM
Probably worth adding the Transcend DrivePro 200 to the list of cameras with capacitors - I didn't get on well with the standard mount but that's resolvable these days.
Nothing above matches the parking mode of the Panorama though which is where the extra cost starts to show it's worth from that point of view. Likewise dusk or dawn the Panorama will give a superior picture as they are tricky times of day for dashcams and a lot of that is down to the Sony sensor they use.
Look around the forum and you'll see that no camera available today is perfect - the latest Mobius cameras have issues starting from freezing temps, the Mini cameras have problems with sitting in the car on hot days due to the battery and they're producing a parking mode kit for the 0806 but how it handles sitting in a hot car on hot days is anyones guess right now. In previous models the battery has just burst and the new one uses the same type of battery. Buying a G1W is a lottery - you could get some that would last nicely like @petepete or you could get one that will last a few months and will lose focus every time the sun comes out.
I have had an A118 here and the daytime video is fantastic and up there with the best cameras I've had - the night video though was very dark but on the newer firmwares that is supposed to be improved. It's in the father-in-law's car now so I'll have to upgrade it and see how it performs. If you've got the dark strip along the top of the window the A118 and SG7LA60 type cameras definitely hide up there very well.
To get one of the best night performers you would currently want the older style Panorama 2S with an old firmware which has the purple tinge - nothing else out there currently matches that - the newer versions have gone for darker albeit cleaner video.
You'd probably be happy with any of the above but before you purchase anything make sure to check the raw footage from each of the cameras you're interested in - they may look very similar in Youtube comparisons but it's a very different story when you're watching the raw 1080p streams.
The Panorama G just sits there and works every time without fail. The 0806 isn't far off but it's the battery that's going to upset the apple cart in the constant extreme cold over there.
I've got to admit I've already recommended both of the above to lots of people and I love the Mobius cameras and I definitely wouldn't have put the A118 in the father in law's car if I didn't think he'd love it - he only drives in the day which helps though![]()
