Loyal Goal A360 4ch 360 degree camera '2014'

[phy6]

Just saw this today while scouring eBay:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/321401559804
It advertises itself as '1080p' but that is probably when all 4 cameras are combined.
Looks like it uses mini-usb to connect the rear cameras. I like the form factor.

I sent a message to the seller for more info, and maybe a video, no response yet. If this was as good as 4 mobius cameras combined, I'd buy it in a heartbeat!


Does anyone here know more about this device?

I JUST received this response, haven't even clicked the links yet:


Good day! Thanks for your interest.Yes it can only display the front or rear cameras on the screen.
The link to a video of the 4 cameras recording at the same time is as following:

The link for you to download the manual is as following:

For any further question just tell me freely.

Ok after going down the rabbit hole, it looks like this was also available as "new for 2013" on alibaba:


And it might be called the Loyal Goal A360
(Since Loyal Goal is the only seller of this model I've seen so far)

Ok, further down the rabbit hole:

Loyal Goal Industry Limited also goes by 'LGI'
http://www.loyalcam.com/english/en/index.htm



After watching the video, it looks like it also suffers from mis-aligned cameras, or the software used to blur and connect the images is not quite as good as it could be. Also there was some flickering at the end.

Annnnd... here's another from the same city, with maybe the original concept art.

http://szmfine.en.alibaba.com/produ...0_degree_full_view_full_hd_1080p_car_DVR.html

Here the company is "Mfine" and it's described as an "F9 360 Degree Full View Car DVR".

these have been around for a while but haven't seemed to find much of a market, don't think they live up to what they're meant to be

in my opinion LGI aren't worth the electrons they're made of
