- Blackvue DR650S-2CH
This might go beyond the scope of this forum, but i thought i'd might aswell give it a go in here before turning towards cs@blackvue.com for RMA and the perhaps the question should be... Am i expecting too much for the Blackvue DR650S-2ch that has a pricetag of US$380?
I recently upgraded from FW 1.004 to the latest FW 1.007 due to sensor issues during parkingmode.
In 1.004 it was waaay to sensitive and wouldn't go out of parkingmode when starting driving.
Closing the doors triggered events, going over speedbumps with 20km/h triggered events. And i have to say, Audi's doesn't come fitted with hard-as-rock suspension. ;-)
With 1.007 these triggers has gotten far less, but now the imagequality has gotten way worse, recognizing numberplates of oncoming trafic with speeds at just 30km/h are almost impossible, even in non-cloudy weather and not direct sunlight hitting the camera.
I've tried compensating for the loss of sharpness by increasing the brightness from 1 to 2 which didn't help anything, except making the sun look a whole lot brighter, and getting great blue skies, they look al mighty fine thou. Reverted back to 1..
I've read the topic about the "blurry parking mode"-issue, but this seems to not anything related to my issue, as my pictures generally are crisp and clear, but the details such as numberplates are getting increasingly harder and harder to read during recordings when driving / vehicle moving.
SAMPLES:
I'd say nighttime with ambient lightning from the lights outside are doing a far better job for my cam than motion during daytime..
When parked in daylight, everything is fine. Numberplates 10-15 meters away could be read with ease..
Below is a capture from a parking-session.
VIDEO-SAMPLES: PLEASE force 1080p as youtube has it's way of pixelating the image while buffering..
Parking Session
Is the cam faulty, is the FW doing bad or maybe the lens has warped?
Any advice on what to go for?
Thanks for your time on this. I know it's a lot of TL;DR-subject.
