Hi! First time dash cam buyer here. I focused on the G1W because it was cheap and seemed reliable.
I ordered this. Note the distinct lack of BLACKVIEW DM8000 on the front in the preview images. Otherwise, it's visually the same as what I got.
What I received: http://imgur.com/a/k8wrJ
And here's a recording from the camera. Download for the greatest playback, it was on 1080p mode. Please forgive the messy kitchen, but it's far too late to go out and record a driving video, as it's 4AM as of this post. I'm using one of these for storage. The details for the video file may be found at the bottom of the imgur album.
I haven't tried it in my vehicle yet, I need to replace a blown fuse to be able to use the 12v port, but it seems to record well enough under battery power.
So, what's the verdict? I'm honestly not sure if it's a fake or not. Could somebody with a true blue genuine G1W please post a few pictures to assuage or confirm my doubts? And how exactly do I disassemble the camera to check the firmware version? I don't want to break it.
Any response at all is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
