Great camera but it needs service sometimes.
First I upgraded it to Russian firmware with avserver.sh file option to change bit rate. I played a lot with bit rate and now can say 8 000 000 gives me optimum result.
Sound. This camera has so poor sound quality. Unfortunately if you try to change voice recording bit rate it freeze or no sound at all. I found solution - drilled 1 mm hole front of microphone.
Video quality. First 6 month it was Ok. After that I realized "fog issue" - image not clear especially in the night time. Solution: cleaned lens inside the camera. To do this you have to open camera and disconnect lens from main board( two screws) clan lens and image sensor with small amount of Windex. Now original image quality is back!
Turn off incorrectly, last video file damaged. When I power off my car camera should turn off 3-4 seconds after that. A few days ago I realized that it shut off immediately. Solution: open camera and unplug Li-ion battery for 10-15 sec and connect it back.
