iamdrumming said:Great posts! I saw some of those RF chokes on Ebay, but they list different sizes. Do you know what the cable size is for a DVR-207?

The Radio Shack one at https://www.radioshack.com/product/inde ... Id=3012599 in the description says it's 16x29.5x5mm. It seems any 5mm size would snap around the 207's cable. That' seems to be a common small size on eBay as well.

Dear customer,
I saw the forum just now and I think It is not true.
There are several difference between old 027 and new 207:
- 207 has much clearer and colorful video, which use better lens (you can see the video comparison in our listing )
- 207 has extra 1080*1440 (15FPS), 027 doesn't have the choice.
- 207 207 has 15fps/20fps/30fp, it is better fps setting.
- You can see recording time in 207 monitor, however, you can't do that in DVR027, you even don't know how long the recording records.
- You can set image size in 207, however, you can't do that in 027, there is no such option.
- 027 has better and stable firmware.
In a word, 207 has better video and the stable quality. It deserve extra USD 10.
Best regards
Vicky

Thanks for that link! So, you snap one on right at where the cable enters the dash cam, and another one close to the cigarette lighter plug? Do they stay in place?

"I guess an alternative option is to purchase a different power adaptor with the appropriate plug, shouldn't be too expensive."
Swapping adapters may work only if they are the source of the RF problem. I suspect it's the camera's electronics. The RF signal is fed down the positive connector's wire to the same common power rail that all the other stuff is connected to (GPS, FM radio) The ferrite attenuators seem like the best and most viable solutions.

I received the following reply soon after.
"Dear customer,
Please don't worry,we can help you .
We contacted the engineer in the factory for the problem ,he said that the problem is that the car charger.
They recommand another kinds of better charger,we will purchase it and send it to you ,is that ok ?
If so,please tell your delivery address .
Best regards
Vicky
I got the same response, word for word. We'll see if a new car charger helps, but as others have said, I suspect the problem is the dash cam itself.

I have responded with my details so hopefully this should fix the problem. I suggest you contact your sellers to find a solution for you.
Cheers Mario
