The processor and the sensor are the same as in the DOD LS300W - NT96650, AR0330.

for sure, no doubt the LS300W has a good lens which accounts for most of the difference, they have also manged to get good results firmware wise though as well, the Mobius developer is quite active in this respect so could well catch up or even surpass them soon, might make the DOD branded models look a bit expensive when they do

Ok, lens thing can be sorted myself, even buying high quality expensive 50-70usd wide angle 150-170 degree, no big deal if looking for perfection, but firmware wise just need to hope for Mobius being more active in developing / upgrading it. Also motion detection rec could be also added. If those issues will be sorted, then I have very big hopes for Mobius.
Do a search in the firmware file 'NT96650' or 'AR0330' and see for yourself!niko said:v.a.z said:I have studied the firmware file.

I had same assumptions regarding a cpu. Not many cpu in affordable price range can deliver 18Mbps at 1080p 30fps.

Another question: can you educate us how you determine what exact cpu and cmos is used by only looking at raw files? I know that some file properties shows cpu type but not always. Is there any other way to determine? And how about how to know about cmos?
Thanks.

I'm not really sure why they made such a big deal out of not wanting people to know what they were using, if anything it only makes people more determined to work it out, in a digital age you can't hide anything

Reminds me TioTech "A8" cpu story.

I suspect the Mobius devs are really focused on the RC user market, if they decided to do a dedicated dashcam product I've no doubt they could do something good, I don't think the current product is that suitable, it does seem to deliver admirable results for what it is though

It wouldn't take much for Mobius to make an ideal dash-cam version.
(1) Use a wider angle lens.
(2) Put a large capacitor in place of the battery.
(3) Maybe a bigger or better heat-sink on top of the camera.
That's only a few minor changes in manufacturing to better address the dash-cam market.

I've had wide angle lenses in other cams & hated them because, IMO, you lost video quality.
