Thank you for your help lads. I bought the mount suggested.
Tried my dashcam for the first time today and think i have some problems with it. I believe point 1 will not be able to be fixed though.
Updated to latest firmware on Gitup website before use.
Settings for the camera are
Video Resolution 3840x2160 25P 16:9
Video Quality Fine
Sharpness Medium
Image rotation on
Default capture mode video
External Power Dash cam
App version 1.9
Firmware Version F1- V1.2.20181115
1. Set external power mode is set to dashcam. However when i use any usb it only charges it. So in my car i have 2x cigarette lighter socket, 1x USB, 1x UK standard 3 pin plug socket (in use)
So basically i plug my dashcam into the car USB and it only charges it. The only way i can get it to go into dashcam mode, is plug it into the cigarette or 3 pin socket, this is not ideal. This is the same problem when plugging into a PC or PS4, charge mode only. Plug into a 3 pin plug adaptor so its only going to a plug socket, dashcam mode is enabled. I presume this is by design and i cant 'fix' this, to boot into dashcam mode using USB only?
I currently use the 3 pin plug to charge high capacity items such as phones and laptops.
2. I have a
YouTube Link Here and also
Google Drive Link Here. Currently Google Drive link is only at 1080p instead of 4K. Hoping this will process into 4K version eventually. The download button is 1.8GB though so should be 4K.
Basically the cam is rated at 4K 30fps, but i only can get 25fps. Are the videos ok? To me it seems they are basically too slow and therefore the image quality isn't the best.
3. Device gets very hot. Hard to touch it is so hot. Hoping it isn't a Chinese fake as it was bought on Amazon UK and the seller was GitUp? Is the heat normal? Could this be why its not recording well?
The Amazon Link
4. Sound is not in sync with the video.
If you watch the video, you can hear the indicator going when on a straight road, after the corner where the indicator was actually on.
