Hi everyone,
I am new to dashcams and the Mini 0805 is my first. Got it for $66 from GearBest, shiped out of the US. I thought this was a pretty good price. There is no branding on the unit itself, the box states "A7 Dash Cam". My first impressions are positive, build quality appears to be good and the form factor fits perfectly behind the rear view mirror of my 07 Accord.
The 0805 came loaded with a firmware dated May 2015 - I will get the exact version number later, its mounted in the car. It seems like this firmware works well as the camera behaved as expected on a decently long drive (1hr). It seems to like my 32gb Class 10 AData card. It also seemed to lock onto GPS right away.
When setting up the camera I could not find the Wide Dynamic Range setting in the options. I am assuming it is hard coded on in the newer firmware, or I am just blind.
The lane departure feature interests me but the setup is baffling. Is it really a totally useless function like reported?
I will be reviewing the video footage later tonight, hopefully the lens is properly focused.
Once I am sure it works it will be time to hide the cabling behind the passenger A pilliar.
