I just got my drivepro 200, overall, its very well built and the quality and interface
is impeccable, and for only $120, I wonder why it isn't more highly rated, I'm pretty certain it's much higher quality build than the mobius/0803 no name cameras.
Anyways, I have a couple questions;
I am aware of the capacitor losing charge in about 4 days, which requires the date and time to be adjusted (going back to default settings), which is fine, as long as it still records as soon as it turns on. Does it? or does it only go to that "turn on, start recording" mode after you set the time/date?
My second question is, the default setting is having the time stamp on the video, and since I already do not care about time( as long as the camera records when it turns on), is there a way to tweak the firmware so the default settings after the camera loses charge are: timestamp OFF, g sensor DISABLED. I do not want a timestamp as if the video was ever used in court, the wrong time and date may be used against me
This way, the drivepro 200 would really be "set and forget" until you need it, and the perfect dash cam for me, otherwise, having to actually set it to the correct time and date every time it loses charge in order to just have it record and perform its basic function would be very annoying.
