You are right. If this is birth control and i have pay for it, i wont buy it.
It's a simple solution with 0$ cost and a very little time to do. In my country: Vietnam, alot of ppl do this include workers at car repair shop. Car can run in years with this. Problem or not, i am not sure, but workers keep doing that way.
you can choice do it, or buy fuse box add on around 10$ do it properly.
Thank you for your comment.
I think you missed the important point regarding quality and reliability. Making a simple wiring connection is inexpensive and doesn't take much longer than what you demonstrated.
Where you're from it appears making something work is the priority. I can understand that. But making something work, is not the same as making it work reliably, using proper wiring techniques. You can do it right, or you can do it over, but in the end, it must be done right, because it always costs more in time and materials to perform re-work. This mindset applies equally to dashcams as it does to automobile repair. Would you want to fly on an aircraft that was wired this way just because it was cheap and expedient?
Japanese quality was a complete joke in the 60's. They instituted widespread quality practices in their manufacturing sector and the results speak for themselves.
The Chinese don't innovate, they imitate. Western manufacturing technologies have transformed their economy. Western QA practices are a requirement for their products to be successfully marketed overseas. Soon their heavy investment in Western-trained engineers will come to fruition and I have little doubt they will invent products that rival anything the West does.
German products are synonymous with quality and craftsmanship. German engineers and craftsman strive for perfection in all they do. Its a deliberate example matter of personal pride, not just a slogan with them. Their products often cost more, but if they last longer, I've actually saved money.
The Germans don't own quality workmanship practices. They have engrained it into their culture.
Our dashcams are only as strong as their weakest link. Your (well-intentioned) efforts to demonstrate a poorly-built power supply connection makes all the other workmanship built into it irrelevant.
Two things make this dashcam stand out from its competitors: Its built-in capability and exceptionally high quality of personalized service from the vendor that exceeds the built-in reliability of the product. If a problem is reported, it is quickly addressed and feedback is put online. Quality matters. It separates the good from the best, whether its related to the functionality of a product or level of professional service.
If you can afford to purchase a dashcam, why not wire it properly by terminating the wires inside the housing using solder? A cheap soldering iron costs a lot less than a dashcam. You can learn the basics of soldering online. Obviously, you have internet access.
Using the often-cited, poor excuse of, "this is how we do things here" doesn't support your effort of showcasing inferior workmanship online as a viable repair. It isn't. This looks like something I would have done as a child, just to get it to work.
Why perpetuate mediocrity? Instead of following the crowd, why not lead?
