I am currently testing a pre-production version of the E1 Pro S and have been very impressed by it so far, particularly when comparing it side by side with the A119M Pro.

Picture quality is exceptionally good, and the TurboBoot mode is fantastic, it enables the camera to start recording almost instantly.

The housing of the E1 Pro S remains only warm to the touch during operation, which represents a noticeable improvement over the standard E1 Pro. The only area that gets genuinely hot is around the micro-SD card slot, though this is entirely expected. Of course, the characteristically cool Scottish weather likely aids with overall thermal performance as well.

Additionally, the Wi-Fi 6 5GHz connection has proven both reliable and fast, making video file transfers to my smartphone quick and seamless.

I intend to post some sample videos.
 
Hope to see more videos from you! The places you live all look so beautiful.

AOV parking mode set to 1spf. I’m very impressed with the picture quality of this mode. My previous examples show this mode switching to 30fps when a collision/impact occurs.
 
Having tested the E1 Pro S over several weeks, I have been very impressed with both its ease of use and the quality of the footage captured.

4K image detail is excellent, with good number plate readability for parked vehicles and vehicles travelling directly in front of me. Readability is less consistent with oncoming traffic, particularly in less favourable lighting conditions. However, this is comparable to the performance of the A119M Pro I currently have installed.

The AOV collision detection parking mode works very well, providing excellent time-lapse footage with the added benefit of switching to 30fps recording if a collision is detected. This is particularly useful, as it allows you to review what was happening immediately before the incident, rather than just seeing the moment of impact.

The compact design of the E1 Pro S is another positive. It is easily concealed behind my rear-view mirror, keeping it discreet and unobtrusive. The improvements over the original E1 Pro are also noticeable, particularly in terms of heat management. The housing now runs considerably cooler during operation, which is a welcome improvement.

Transferring footage to my iPhone via the app is quick and reliable. The dashcam’s Wi-Fi 6 5GHz connection provides fast transfer speeds, making it easy to view and download recordings without the frustration of lengthy transfer times. It’s another welcome feature that makes accessing footage straightforward.

TurboBoot is probably one of my favourite additions to this dashcam. Startup is almost instantaneous, making it a very welcome feature and a significant improvement over the boot times of dashcams I have used previously.

Overall, the E1 Pro S has proved to be a very impressive dashcam, with several worthwhile improvements that make it a pleasure to use.
