GS9000 Test Video

[mariomart]

Finally received my GS9000, so I have uploaded a test video for you all.

Read the YouTube notes section for full details of the clip.

I am currently waiting on a response from FoxOffer.com as to why my unit does not display the speed in the lower left corner. It could be a firmware issue. Apart from that, the unit works perfectly well.

Cheers Mario

I like that wide angle, you can clearly see next road when turning.
This is like toyota of dashcams, affordable everyday companion.
Except that toyota works 100%, every day of the year

Have you set the GPS setting to say YES?

For those that are interested in where the unit is mounted here are some pics.





The only modification I applied was to use a black permanent marker to color in the shiny silver lens surround as well as applying a small black felt dot to each of the IR lights. This has helped the unit blend in a little better.

Yes I have, still no speed display on the video. I have to add that when the .MOV and .MAP is viewed on RegistratorViewer everything works fine (GPS and G sensor).

I can't see your video from where I am at the moment, is the speed shown but not giving a reading, eg your speed is recorded and displayed in Registrator Viewer but just stays on zero in the video, or the speed is just not there at all in the video?

i would reload the firmware from the foxoffer website, it might be faulty and needs to be reinstalled.

Thank you for your suggestion. I re-downloaded the firmware but this time I tried a different micro SD card. The previous card I used was an old 1 GB card with no speed rating. The new card I used was an 8 GB Transcend Class 4 card. For good measure I installed the firmware 3 times (they say 3rd times a charm ) and it looks like it's fixed the issue.

I have uploaded a newer clip on YouTube.

This video may interest some people as I am driving directly into the setting Sun. The over-saturated Sun appears to have a black mask applied and I was surprised that I could still make out details of the surrounds, maybe they all do this but I have never seen it on a camera at this price level ($109.00 Australian + Delivery) or perhaps it's an undocumented feature. Enjoy!!!

Cheers Mario

Just uploaded a test video taken on an overcast day with light rain. Don't forget to change to 1080p.

Cheers Mario

Believe it or not. it's already pointing up. Have a look at the picture below.



The 178° lens shows quite a lot.
