Eeyelog EHD65 - test recordings

[HPF]

I have Eeyelog EHD65 in for testing now (+ 10-12 other cameras).

I have uploaded original recordings here

3 files, each 45-65MB.

Roads were somewhat bumpy so I could check the video stabilization. Quality seems very good to me.

What do you guys think? How do they compare to the high-end FineVu and BlackVue cameras?

if you had stabilization on try turning it off, you should get a sharper picture, if the camera is mounted solidly you don't need stabilization anyway as it will move the same as the car does anyway

There's no option for turning it off. Manufacturer said stabilizer is part of firmware and can't be disabled. The cheap cameras with MJPG codec all had shaky videos.

Video is pretty sharp I think, better than I expected. Haven't compered it to FineVu etc though.

Maybe some sort of EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization). The person claimed this was done either by firmware or imagesensor itself.

YouTube has some tools for this https://developers.google.com/events/io ... /325566030 or you can download free software like http://www.guthspot.se/video/deshaker.htm

The cheap dashcams with MJPG had far more jitter that the EHD65.

Image quality is very good from the EHD65, but the G-Sensor is far too sensitive. No matter the setting, the slightest bump tags the video as read only and moves to the next video.

This creates heaps of small 30 second'ish files that fill the card and stop it from recording any more.

Turning the G Sensor function off solves the problem, but then you won't have any auto saved files in the event of an accident. Not so good if you are unconscious.
