Will work fine
Will work fine
i exchanged mine for another one due to the clock not keeping time after disconnecting power. currently waiting for my replacement.I left my Maxi unused in a drawer for 2 weeks over Christmas. The battery kept the clock running, but it lost 41 seconds (assuming my PC clock is accurate?). I don't remember the Mobius 1 losing or gaining time so fast.
EDIT: Barely 1 hour after synchronising the Maxi clock, it has lost another 13 seconds.
I've not had mine triggered whilst driving (also on medium) but removing it from the window mount whilst recording has done so.can anyone shed some light on the gravity sensor - where is it located for example? i can't seem to trigger it when it's on medium and moving the maxi around
Thanks for that. I do not expect it to record after the 30 seconds is up. The problem I have is it does not record anything after the power is off, not even for 30 seconds.Power-Off Disconnect means it will shut down the camera upon it disconnecting from power. You've set it to 30 seconds, why do you expect it to keep recording after that?
Sorry you are having the same problem. I have tried the same as you and have on the odd occasion got it to record but for some reason cannot replicate it.Mine also powers off as soon as I disconnect the power supply with a fully charged battery. My timeout has varied between 30 seconds and 2 minutes but it makes no difference, it powers off immediately.
Ive tried re-installing the firmware as well but that makes no difference either.
I read your comment on that earlier in your thread.Using a battery on these Maxi for dashcam use does not appear to be the best option. I've read various reports that the battery life suffers a lot. I swapped one of mine for a capacitor, and plan to do the same with my other Maxi soon.
@PRoz Are you sure it's a fully charged battery? Does it ever stop charging? I had one Maxi battery with a loose connection to the PCB that never really charged, and would not run the camera for long, if at all, after turning off external power.
Your camera should continue recording for the amount of time set in power-off disconnect. It should not go into standby straight away.I have tried numerous times with external power and there are maybe just two or three times it has continued to record after power has been disconnected. When disconnecting there is one beep and then 2 short beeps and the camera remains in standby mode (Yellow light on) for 30 seconds or whatever amount of time I have selected in "Power Off Disconnect" including immediate turn off.
"Power Off Standby" is set to "off" although the manual says this is the default setting when a USB is connected.
I have just tried "Power Off Standby" set to "5 mins" and the Maxi goes into standby for the amount of time specified in the "Power Off Disconnect".
The battery charges fine and runs the camera for almost 2 hours by itself. So is there a need to check the connector?have you tried checking the battery connector inside
That would be great, Thanks.TBH I've not tried power-off disconnect longer than 2 seconds. I'll try your settings later and see if mine does the same thing.
