So I finally started using my Möbius but there's a few issues I'm noticing.
- The one day video I recorded, the picture colour seems darker than the real life surroundings.
- Also when I rewatch my videos, the picture isn't clear quality. Not as sharp
- Anyone film video at night and have good results?
Mobius is a good cam but there are better ones along with a bigger cost. IMHO it's great for it's price point. Night recording is where all cams struggle; the more highly pronounced light/dark contrast and changing ambient light conditions make it impossible to obtain greatness in a small portable package. You can play with the exposure settings to see if you can get better color and image quality; mine are slightly tweaked and very slightly better than default was, but trying for more made things worse quickly so default is pretty darn close; stay near there and do one adjustment at a time. I also had to refocus the lens slightly, a known and now-fixed issue which occurred for a short time back when I bought this one. If you make adjustments do it slowly- it doesn't take much- and check both day and might recordings so that a gain in one isn't ruining the other.
Thing is that this is all very easy to do with Mobius which is not true for many cams. And it gives as good a night vid as can be had with the hardware used, being better there than others using that same hardware. It wasn't intended for night-time use when it was designed, but they developed that ability well as they went along. It is and always will be a good cam for the money but it's reached the limit of the hardware which is why they developed the M2. I believe it will still be a viable dashcam for at least another 5 years and maybe longer.
