Mini0807 samples with parking guard function using OBD are ok now

[justinsane]

Hi Justinsane, Yes, if user want to use parking guard function, OBD must used to supply power when the car is off, can't use car charger or hardwire kit to supply power at this moment.

damn, was hoping that wasn't the case.
the reason why that's a little frustrating is that if I drop off my car at the dealer for service, they will definitely unplug it.
Caught some **** on my dashcam in parking mode last month while it was at dealer for warranty work and I'm glad I made the investment.

It is understandable the dealer will want to unplug your dashcam when they are servicing your car.
Imagine you are at work and your client install a camera in your office to monitor you, how do you feel about it?

it's not that they'll unplug it so you don't monitor them, they'll unplug it because they need to use the port, good chance they wouldn't plug it back in afterwards either

bigger issue is if you have a computer related problem and they blame your 3rd party device that is plugged into the port and reject a warranty claim, for me that's a bigger concern

I have a question for @Joy : what useful of the ODB cable ? Does it just supply the power for dashcam when engineer is off ? or it can read the velocity of car and sent this information to dashcam ? In this case, what is GPS chipset in mount for ?

 

[jokiin]

I think you'll find the OBD is just used for power

It is just for power supply

 

[thancam]

if they use the odb cable to take information about velocity, they can remove the GPS chipset. The cost will be lower. Why don't they ?
0807 is the most exspensive in mini series right now

OBDII is a connection standard but it's not a protocol standard, there are lots of variations between different manufacturers, what works for one might not always be the same for others, GPS is also about location data, not just speed

They have to balance about the cost and benefit. Almost users who I know only need speed infor, not location data. And if 0807 doesn't have GPS chip, as I remmeber it can cheaper about: 15 $.
And I think: If skyhigh can do that, it will be big advantage to their opponent

 

[jokiin]

you can buy non GPS version if this is your preference

But I need speed information stamp in video

they're not going to be able to develop one for free so even adding that function doesn't automatically mean there will be a price advantage over the GPS version

we can change point of view: if they can have a better price, they can sell more product, then they can have more money

Bingo. I recently had my Mazda serviced and they unplugged the USB power cable and didn't replug it back, but I was aware of that and I just plugged the cable back myself when I picked my car.

I generally take the camera out when the car is being serviced anyway

Neither of my cams were unplugged by the dealer when my car was serviced. It was surprising to see how many times the car was moved around their facility while they had it.

After having the mini 0801 0803 and blackvue dr550gw. I have now setup the K1S system but still use the 0801 and 0803 cameras as they were reliable. Even if one of the screens now has a white line due to heat.

Future customer here. Don't know of any other way to contact manufacturer of the Mini Dash Cams. I don't even know of the name of the company who makes them, but I'm concerned that every description of the mini 080_ cameras state that their operating temperature is between 0-40 degrees Celsius (32-104 degrees Fahrenheit) Which would mean they shouldn't be used in any vehicle anywhere. Could somebody please update the specifications for these cameras to the correct information? Joy? Bella?.... Anyone? Thanks.

chipset and other components would be rated from -10°c to at least +60°c (probably +70°c) but the battery will be rated to around +45°c working temp, they will of course work at higher temps but the battery can become less stable when used at higher temps, that's not unique to these cameras, all the cameras with batteries in them are similar in that respect
