Probably too much interference in a car?
You are welcome.Thanks for your tips, niko
I'll try it out.
Had 1 ferrite core cord noise suppressor on the end of cable that goes to AV In of headunit and it doesn't help much either.
Am I the only one who has bad video signal from the dashcam?
i would guess that the number of folks who actually have a dashcam AND have a head unit (or other device) with video input AND want to connect the two... is very low. even in my wife's van, we had an overhead dvd player, but i never had the desire to connect the camera's video output to the DVD player's video in jack, even though it would have been very easy. we have since changed vehicles, and now my wife's car has a big screen in the middle for the factory nav and backup camera, but again, no desire to connect the dashcam... and not just because i'd have to hack into the factory wire harness to create a video input jack and switching circuit. the cam in that car (blacksys cf-100) doesn't even have a screen of its own, and i'm fine with that.The distortion is there even in acc on position.
Seriously that nobody hooked up their dashcam to a headunit?
what about connecting a usb cable instead of an analog video cable? assuming your head unit can actually play them (which if it's running android, it should be fine - i recommend MX Player as that's what i use on my phone), you'd get better picture quality, and a MUCH better way to navigate the files. playing back on the camera is clumsy at best, even on the 119. there's no way to pause/ff/rew on the camera so if you miss something, you have to watch the entire clip again.It will be nice to playback the files with a larger screen of the headunit instead of removing the SD card/dashcam.
Looks like it's time to move on to A119.
just thought of this - try powering your dashcam from a USB powerbank instead of the lighter socket. that could tell you if it's the head unit or the camera's power adapter.
I'd try @Gibson99's suggestion. Assuming you used a different power supply when you connected it to the TV and the problem only happens in the car (even with the engine not running), I'd say that interference is power supply-related (most likely the one in the car).Guess that it's still a long way to find out the cause of distortion/interference from the live feed.
Could it be a bad hardwire kit? Or insufficient power from the fuse box?
