help me adjust this camera

[mentaluproar]

The image doesn't seem all that clear and there is a lot of stutter. I have it set for 1080p30 and using the latest 20Mbit firmware.

I'm new to all of this, so please be patient with me. Here is a video from todays first drive with it. Sorry about the cat. She hates car rides.

1080p30:

720p60:

think I'd forget about using 720p60

Can I ask why?

I just had a night time drive with it. Lots of blockiness and static.

Can I ask why?

you feel that video you posted is ok?

 

[mentaluproar]

I thought you referring to a technical reason.

I thought you referring to a technical reason.

no, just your results

1080p will give you better results on this platform regardless though

Okay, so was there any way to improve the image quality of the 1080p video? I know I have to find a CPL filter yet.

YouTube is never great for having a detailed look at results, what problems are you having that you feel needs improving?

 

[mentaluproar]

I cannot make out license plates or signs in the videos.

 

[jokiin]

that would be expected at night, how is it during the day?

 

[mentaluproar]

That's the problem I have during the day.

 

[jokiin]

full res screenshot would help if you could upload

 

[mentaluproar]

I tried uploading a 3 mb PNG but it says its too large for the server to process.

 

[jokiin]

jpg will do

 

[mentaluproar]

tada

 

[jokiin]

not the best photo but it looks like your focus may be out

 

[mentaluproar]

Lovely. Can I open this thing without breaking it?

 

[jokiin]

some people here have pulled there's apart to fix this before, there's probably pictures here somewhere

Check out Lacabaci's thread. It's in the mini 0903 forum to help with the focus. If you have the time and patience, this dashcam will be awesome if the manufacture iron out all the kinks.

Dash reflection seems to be in focus.
