How do you feel?

Like a young boy in a toy shop.

Would it be you next opinion?

I would not want one even if it had the best performance of all dash cams and a low price. To add to its horrible appearance it looks very big.

I want a cam that's small and easy to mount anywhere I want* - which also means a mount with lots of adjustment. The closest I've come to perfection was the Cobra 820 but it is not a reliable cam. Next closest to perfection is the Nextbase 101 but it's only 720p/30fps and a 1MP sensor.

Many cameras simply won't fit on the windscreen of my main car. Of the few that do, the Cobra 840 is most suitable due to its unusual mount which offers an outstanding range of adjustment to get the position perfect.

*
Modern cars have very shallow windscreen angles which makes it very difficult to adjust the mount to point the cam at the road rather than the sky. The shallow windscreen angle also makes it more difficult to mount cams behind the rear view mirror, especially on cars with a large mirror housing which contains the electronics (light sensors) for auto-dimming mirror, automatic wipers and automatic headlights.

I suspect market research shows that Dash Cams in the future will be a lucrative sales option. This is why big Tech companies like this are testing the waters. But from Lenovo...no thanks. A company that Installs malware onto their computers for sale to consumers.

Hehe, I am a fan of lenovo laptops but haven't seen their dashcam yet.

 

[efoo]

Haha, I have seen quite a few cars with Autobot and Decepticon badges on the back. maybe if the manufacturer can make it waterproof, we can use this instead. Has more function too as a cam. But likely to get stolen

 

[niko]

I have seen it over half year ago.
Design wise its targeting a local market.

 

[GearBest]

Different people have different views, We will probably carry this camera later

 

[BMbler]

I suspect it to be "double purpose" design... to look as cheap as poop of a pigeon, so nobody would want to steal it...

 

[kamkar]

If you want to hide a dashcam in plain view, make it look like one of those car smell thingies, or maybe a toll thingie.

Though that will be a little invane here as we only have tool on a fjew bridges, and i think most regular drivers just pay cash or with credit card. ( though you can get a toll thingie for free )

 

[jokiin]

in some markets this would be very effective, nobody would suspect it's a camera once hidden amongst all the power rangers, smurfs, air fresheners etc that crowd the dash

Is there a trackpoint mouse to the control the menu?

 

[dash riposki]

I'd buy it if it looked like a yellow plastic duck.

Why is the girl out of focus? Did they photoshop the picture?

haha, maybe the manufacture hope us pay more attention on the dashcam

 

[GearBest]

Is there a trackpoint mouse to the control the menu?

There are some buttons to control the camera as we can see

 

[JooVuu]

Personally I think you guys are missing the point - who cares if this is a camera...it's irrelevant, especially when you have optimus prime guarding your car. This camera could be WVGA for all I care, I have a bloody transformer guarding my car.

It takes motion detection to a whole new level. Little bump in the car park from the car in front? No problem, optimus destroys their car.

Cheers,

JooVuu

I expect the subliminal messages in their advertising should allude to this extra level of protection

I played with gobots more than transformers when I was little. (I know lame)
