Hello. I recently bought the VAVA front cam (my first dash cam). I like it a lot for just plug and play. I got it because it has this really cool wireless button you can stick any where in the car and it will save photos and videos. From this info I bought it, but did not care for the photo part, its video I want. But clearly noticed that when I held down the button it made a noise on the cam, and I guess that means when you hear that sound a separate video is being recorded for 20 seconds from the start of that beep. It is then saved in a different folder for safe keeping. But It don't make sense to record video while the cam is already recording, right?. I feel VAVA dropped the ball on this cool feature.
That being said, the dash cam I need is just for work. I want to save clips on the go to take back home without having to dig that SD card out every day. When I do my deliveries I want to archive all the crazy drivers I see.
I got 128GB sd card so the whole day recording on the card. Tons of 3 min clips to sniff through. It's hard to remember when and where that one driver did that dumb move on the freeway. I wish I can find it easier. Then I notice how long it takes to download a 3 min clip. Omg it's like 4-5 min. Then sometimes it freezes and says error and have to retry and download it all over again. What a nightmare. But I like it just in case I need to show the footage to a officer quickly. But not practical to try and download all 30+ clips at 4min a pop 1h30min to download, if no errors. That's why I need a button that can clip out parts of my day without having to sniff through all them videos.
I am just looking for a cam that can read the license plates in day time perfectly. I don't drive at night so I do not care about night quality.
I am also looking for a cam that can archive 1-3 min clips with a touch of a button. I notice on youtube videos I like to watch where someone saw something then they reach for the cam, you can hear the mic getting scuffled, then a loud beep and the camera shakes. I assume this is the button they are pressing to save this video. This is so hard to find this detail when looking for a camera online. They never advertise this feature, but I feel is the best feature a cam can have.
I would like to download the clips I save on my phone icloud storage.
Anyone please help me find a cam that does this.
