I read up about dash cams on this site and ordered the latest and greatest from this trusted ebay seller. Can't say I'm satisfied with the quality of the video, but it'll do.
I am, however, having some significant problems with the exposure levels on the video. Setting EV to 0.0 leaves me with very dark video, even thought I have aimed my camera down towards the road. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQdey1elbyQ)
Setting the EV to 0.7 results in a good exposure level, until I go under a bridge at which point the camera goes crazy and whites everything out (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHoJ_ib_uzo) and (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggyj_0cbyBw). It will stay this way until I drop the EV to 0.3, at which point I can raise it back to 0.7 to have a decently exposed video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4GFIwKgl00).
Is this how it's supposed to be? I bought this camera as a safety device, but if I have to keep checking if the exposure is acceptable it defeats the purpose. Should I try sending the camera in for a replacement?
